Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just buying cannabis. You’re buying peace of mind that what you’re consuming is tested, labeled accurately, and won’t land you in legal trouble.
Every product from a licensed pot dispensary in New York comes with a Certificate of Analysis—real lab results you can scan with your phone. That means you know the THC content, you know there’s no mold or pesticides, and you know it passed state safety standards before it hit the shelf.
Unlicensed shops don’t offer that. They can’t. And that’s the difference between hoping a product is safe and knowing it is.
If you’re in East Moriches, NY, or anywhere across Suffolk County, you’re closer to legal options than you think. Dispensaries like Simply Green in Coram, Strong Strains in East Setauket, and Happy Days in Farmingdale are all state-licensed and operating within the law. You don’t have to settle for the gray market anymore.
We exist because access to legal cannabis on Long Island has been frustratingly limited. Suffolk County only has six recreational dispensaries, and Nassau has zero. That’s not enough for a population this size.
We’re here to connect you with licensed dispensaries and delivery options that actually follow the rules. No fake storefronts. No unregulated products. Just real access to cannabis you can trust.
Long Island generates some of the highest per-store cannabis sales in New York—over $109 million by late 2024. That tells you the demand is there. What’s missing is convenience and clarity, and that’s what we’re built to solve.
First, verify the dispensary is licensed. New York requires every legal cannabis store to display a Dispensary Verification Tool near the entrance. It’s a QR code that links directly to the state’s list of licensed retailers. If you don’t see it, walk away.
Once you’re at a licensed location—whether that’s Strain Stars in Farmingdale or Beleaf in Calverton—you’ll find a full selection of flower, edibles, vapes, concentrates, and topicals. Every product has a QR code linking to its lab results. Scan it. Read it. Make sure you’re comfortable with what you’re buying.
If you prefer delivery, nearly a quarter of all dispensary sales now happen online. You can browse products, place an order, and have it brought to your door. Just make sure the service is licensed through New York’s Office of Cannabis Management. That’s the only way to guarantee you’re getting legal, tested products.
You can also ask questions. Budtenders at licensed dispensaries go through state-required training on product safety, dosage, and effects. They’re not just cashiers—they’re there to help you find what works for your needs, whether that’s anxiety relief, sleep support, or pain management.

You’ll find more than just flower. Licensed dispensaries in Suffolk County carry pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, tinctures, concentrates, and topicals. Most customers buy in 3.5-gram packages, and edibles typically range from 2.5 to 10 mg per dose—low enough to start slow if you’re new.
Product trends are shifting. Less than half of sales now come from flower. People are choosing vapes and edibles because they’re discreet, consistent, and easier to dose. If you’ve never tried cannabis or you’re coming back after years away, that’s probably where you’ll want to start.
Long Island’s dispensaries also focus heavily on therapeutic use. The top three reasons people visit: anxiety, sleep issues, and pain management. If that’s why you’re here, you’re not alone. In fact, 60% of women who use cannabis say it’s for anxiety relief, and 58% use it to sleep better.
Locations like Planet Nugg and Canna Blooms in Farmingville are designed to feel like upscale boutiques, not head shops. The goal is to make you comfortable, not confused. You’re walking into a regulated retail environment where the staff is trained, the products are tested, and the experience is built around your safety.
If you’re near East Moriches, you’re within a short drive of several licensed options. Brown Budda and Charlie Fox are in Southampton. Long Island Cannabis Club is in Deer Park. These aren’t pop-ups or temporary storefronts—they’re state-approved retailers that had to meet strict security, testing, and compliance standards to open their doors.
Check for the Dispensary Verification Tool. It’s a state-issued QR code that every licensed cannabis retailer in New York is required to display near their entrance. When you scan it, it takes you directly to the Office of Cannabis Management’s website, where you can see a full list of licensed dispensaries.
If the store doesn’t have that QR code posted, it’s not legal. Period. Unlicensed shops are still operating across New York, and they’re not following any safety or testing protocols. That means the products could be mislabeled, contaminated, or just flat-out dangerous.
You can also visit the OCM website yourself and search by county. Suffolk County has six licensed recreational dispensaries as of now, and they’re all listed by name and address. If the place you’re thinking about visiting isn’t on that list, don’t go.
Licensed dispensaries are regulated by New York State. That means every product is lab-tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and mold before it’s sold. You get a Certificate of Analysis with a QR code on every package so you can verify what’s inside.
Unlicensed shops don’t do any of that. They’re not inspected. Their products aren’t tested. And there’s no accountability if something goes wrong. You’re taking a risk every time you buy from them.
Licensed dispensaries also have to meet strict security requirements, including 24/7 surveillance and controlled access. Their staff goes through state-mandated training on product safety and responsible sales. Unlicensed shops have none of that infrastructure. It’s the difference between a regulated retail business and a black-market operation with a storefront.
Yes, but only through a licensed delivery service. New York allows licensed retailers to offer delivery, and nearly 25% of all legal cannabis sales now happen online. You can browse products, place an order, and have it delivered to your home.
The key is making sure the service is licensed. Check the OCM website or ask to see their license number. If they can’t provide it, they’re not legal, and you’re not protected.
Delivery works the same way as in-store purchases. You’ll need to show ID to prove you’re 21 or older, and the driver will verify your age when they arrive. All products still come with lab testing results and proper packaging. It’s not a workaround—it’s just a more convenient way to access the same legal, regulated products you’d find in a physical dispensary.
Start with a low dose, especially if you’re trying edibles. Most first-time users do best with 2.5 to 5 mg of THC. That’s enough to feel the effects without being overwhelming. You can always take more later, but you can’t undo taking too much.
If you’re buying flower, ask the budtender about the difference between sativa, indica, and hybrid strains. Sativas tend to be more energizing, indicas are more relaxing, and hybrids fall somewhere in between. But honestly, the specific strain matters less than the THC and CBD levels, so pay attention to those numbers on the label.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Licensed dispensaries employ trained staff who can walk you through dosage, effects, and product types. They’ve seen every kind of first-timer, and they’re not there to judge—they’re there to help you find what works. And always check the Certificate of Analysis. It’s your proof that what you’re buying is safe and accurately labeled.
Two reasons: municipal opt-outs and real estate challenges. About half of New York’s municipalities have opted out of allowing adult-use cannabis retail, and Long Island is one of the areas hit hardest by that. Nassau County has zero recreational dispensaries, and Suffolk only has six.
Even in towns that allow it, finding a location is tough. New York law requires dispensaries to be at least 1,000 feet away from schools, homes, and places of worship. That eliminates a lot of potential real estate, especially in dense suburban areas like Long Island.
The result is a massive gap between demand and access. Long Island generates some of the highest per-store cannabis sales in the state—over $109 million across all locations by late 2024—but there just aren’t enough stores to meet the need. That’s why delivery services and a handful of licensed storefronts are doing such high volume. The market is there. The infrastructure is still catching up.
Flower still makes up about 45% of sales, but vapes and edibles are growing fast. People like vapes because they’re discreet, easy to dose, and don’t require any prep. Edibles are popular for the same reasons, plus they last longer than smoking or vaping.
Most edible buyers prefer doses between 2.5 and 10 mg, and the most common package size is 3.5 grams for flower—also called an eighth. If you’re new to cannabis or just want something simple and controlled, edibles and vapes are usually the best place to start.
Concentrates and tinctures are also available, but they’re more popular with experienced users. Tinctures are good if you want precise dosing without smoking, and concentrates deliver higher potency in smaller amounts. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s from a licensed dispensary so you know exactly what you’re getting. The label should tell you the THC and CBD content, and every product should have a QR code linking to third-party lab results.
