Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just buying cannabis. You’re getting products that passed mandatory state lab testing for contaminants, accurate THC/CBD levels, and safety standards that unlicensed shops can’t match.
Every product displays New York State’s universal symbol and comes with a Certificate of Analysis you can scan right there. No guessing about potency. No wondering if what’s on the label matches what’s in the package.
The difference shows up in how you feel after using it. When you know exactly what you’re consuming, you can dial in the experience you want—whether that’s pain relief, better sleep, or just unwinding after a long week. That’s what lab testing and legal compliance actually give you: predictability and peace of mind.
We operate in a market where thousands of unlicensed storefronts still outnumber legal dispensaries across New York. We’re one of the licensed options serving Roslyn Heights and Nassau County, which means we’re held to standards that illegal shops simply ignore.
Long Island still has gaps in legal cannabis access. While areas like Farmingdale have multiple licensed options—Happy Days, Planet Nugg, and Strain Stars all operate there—many communities are still underserved. That’s changing as more dispensaries open across Suffolk and Nassau, from Simply Green in Coram to Canna Blooms in Farmingville.
We’re not trying to be the cheapest option. We’re trying to be the one you trust when you want to know exactly what you’re putting in your body.
You show up with valid ID proving you’re 21 or older. That’s the only requirement for recreational purchases.
Our staff asks what you’re looking for—not to be nosy, but because “something for anxiety” leads to different recommendations than “something to help me sleep.” We talk about cannabinoid ratios, terpene profiles if you’re interested, and consumption methods that fit your lifestyle. Edibles hit differently than vaping. Tinctures offer control. Flower gives you the full experience.
You see the product, check the label, scan the QR code if you want to review lab results. Then you buy it. The whole process takes as long as you need it to—five minutes if you know what you want, longer if you’re exploring options.
After purchase, you leave with products that are legal to possess and consume in private spaces. We can’t give medical advice, but we can tell you what other customers report and what the cannabinoid science suggests.

New York’s legal market now offers access to over 500 cannabis brands. You’ll find flower, edibles, tinctures, vape cartridges, beverages, and concentrates. Flower still makes up about a third of sales statewide, but many customers are exploring other formats.
The selection matters because different products serve different needs. Edibles take longer to kick in but last longer. Vapes offer convenience and discretion. Tinctures let you control dosing precisely. Topicals provide localized relief without any psychoactive effects.
Long Island’s cannabis scene is expanding fast. From Strong Strains in East Setauket to Beleaf in Calverton, from Brown Budda and Charlie Fox in Southampton to Long Island Cannabis Club in Deer Park—licensed dispensaries are spreading across the island. Each one is required to carry products that meet the same state testing standards.
Prices run higher than the illegal market. That’s the cost of regulation, testing, and legal operation. You’re paying for accountability. If something’s wrong with a product, there’s a compliance system and recall process. Unlicensed sellers don’t offer that.
Every legal dispensary displays a Dispensary Verification Tool with a QR code that links directly to the Office of Cannabis Management’s official website. Scan it and you’ll see the license status immediately.
Licensed dispensaries also display the New York State universal cannabis symbol on all products. If you don’t see that symbol, you’re not buying from a regulated source. The OCM maintains a public database of all licensed retailers, so you can verify any dispensary before you visit.
Unlicensed shops vastly outnumber legal ones in New York—the OCM estimates thousands of illegal storefronts operate in NYC alone. They don’t follow testing requirements, don’t verify product safety, and aren’t accountable to anyone. That’s a real risk when you’re putting something in your body.
Legal dispensaries sell products that passed mandatory lab testing for contaminants, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbials. The THC and CBD percentages on the label are verified, not guessed. You get a Certificate of Analysis with every purchase.
Illegal sellers don’t test anything. There have been documented cases of contaminated cannabis causing hospitalizations, synthetic additives that aren’t disclosed, and potency levels that don’t match what’s advertised. You’re gambling every time you buy from an unlicensed source.
The other difference is accountability. Licensed dispensaries risk losing their entire business if they violate regulations. That creates strong incentive to follow the rules. Illegal sellers face no such consequences because they’re already operating outside the law. When you’re choosing what to consume, that accountability matters.
Legal cannabis costs more because of regulation, testing, taxes, and compliance requirements that illegal sellers simply ignore. Every product goes through lab testing. Every facility undergoes inspections. Every transaction is tracked and taxed.
New York has the highest average cannabis item prices in the country at $31.49. That’s not price gouging—it’s the reality of operating legally in a heavily regulated market. You’re paying for safety, transparency, and accountability.
The illegal market will always undercut legal prices because they have none of those costs. But they also have none of those protections. You’re making a choice: pay less and take your chances, or pay more and know exactly what you’re getting. For many people, especially those using cannabis for medical relief, that certainty is worth the premium.
Yes, licensed dispensaries in New York can offer delivery services. Some Long Island dispensaries like Happy Days provide free same-day delivery across Nassau and Suffolk counties. Delivery requires the same age verification as in-store purchases—you’ll need valid ID showing you’re 21 or older.
Delivery can be more convenient if you know what you want and don’t need to browse in person. You order online or by phone, and the product arrives at your door with all the same lab testing and compliance as store purchases.
Be cautious about delivery services that aren’t connected to licensed dispensaries. The same risks apply—no testing, no accountability, no verification of what you’re actually receiving. Stick with delivery from OCM-licensed retailers if you want the legal protections and product safety that regulation provides.
Start with lower THC percentages and products that include CBD. THC is what creates the psychoactive effect, and too much too fast can be uncomfortable if you’re not experienced. CBD helps moderate THC’s effects and provides its own therapeutic benefits.
Edibles take 30 minutes to two hours to kick in, and the effects last longer. Start with 5mg or less if you’re new. You can always take more next time, but you can’t undo taking too much. Vapes and flower hit faster, which gives you more control over the experience.
Talk to our staff about what you’re hoping to achieve. Sleep, pain relief, anxiety reduction, and social relaxation all point toward different cannabinoid profiles and terpene combinations. We can guide you toward products that match your goals. Don’t be shy about asking questions—everyone started somewhere, and we understand that education is part of the service.
Long Island’s licensed dispensary network is growing. In Farmingdale, you’ll find Happy Days, Planet Nugg, and Strain Stars all operating legally. Simply Green serves Coram, while Long Island Cannabis Club is in Deer Park. Strong Strains operates in East Setauket, and Canna Blooms is in Farmingville.
Further east, Strain Stars has a location in Riverhead, Beleaf serves Calverton, and Southampton has both Brown Budda and Charlie Fox. Each of these dispensaries is licensed by the state and subject to the same testing and compliance standards.
Having multiple options nearby is useful because product selection varies between dispensaries. One might carry brands or strains another doesn’t. Prices can differ slightly. Staff knowledge and customer service vary. It’s worth checking out a few to find the one that fits your preferences. The important thing is verifying they’re actually licensed—scan that QR code and check the OCM database before you buy.
