Hear from Our Customers
When you walk into our licensed weed dispensary in Boerum Hill, you’re not just buying cannabis. You’re buying transparency. Every product on our shelves has passed third-party lab testing for potency, contaminants, and accurate labeling. That’s not a marketing line—it’s a New York State requirement that unlicensed shops don’t follow.
You get to scan a QR code and see the Certificate of Analysis. You get to ask questions and receive answers from budtenders who’ve been trained on dosing, onset times, and product differences. You’re not left guessing whether that edible is 10mg or 100mg, or whether that vape cart contains pesticides.
The difference between a legal marijuana dispensary and an unlicensed smoke shop isn’t just about following the law. It’s about knowing what you’re putting in your body and having someone accountable if something’s wrong. That peace of mind is what you’re paying for when you choose licensed.
We didn’t just show up when New York legalized adult-use cannabis. We’ve been part of this culture for over two decades—back when it meant running a cannabis speakeasy and building real relationships in the community. Now we’re doing it the right way, fully licensed and regulated by New York State.
Boerum Hill is home to some of Brooklyn’s most discerning residents—people who value authenticity, quality, and transparency. That’s exactly what we bring. Our location is easy to reach by public transit, our staff knows the products inside and out, and we’re here because we actually care about this plant and the people who use it.
You’ll find us among a growing network of licensed dispensaries across Brooklyn—from 11201 to 11249—all working to prove that legal cannabis can be done right. We’re not the biggest name yet, but we’re building something real here.
Walking into a cannabis dispensary for the first time can feel intimidating, especially if you’re new to legal weed. Here’s how it works at Bring Me Weed.
First, bring a valid ID showing you’re 21 or older. You’ll check in at the front, and from there, you’re free to browse or ask questions. Our budtenders are there to help—not to upsell you, but to guide you toward what actually fits your needs. Whether you’re looking for flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, or concentrates, we’ll walk you through potency, effects, and consumption methods.
Every product you see has been tested and labeled according to New York regulations. You can scan the QR code on any package to view lab results. If you’re unsure about dosing, we’ll explain the “start low, go slow” approach and help you avoid common mistakes like taking too much too fast.
Once you’ve made your choice, you’ll check out and leave with a product that includes New York’s universal symbol—proof it’s legal and regulated. The whole process takes as long as you need it to. No one’s rushing you.

Flower is still the most popular product category in New York, making up about 35% of sales. That’s because it’s versatile, familiar, and gives you control over your experience. We carry a rotating selection of strains from licensed New York cultivators—indica, sativa, and hybrid options across different potency levels. Most customers in Brooklyn buy in 3.5-gram packages, which is a solid starting point if you’re trying something new.
Vapes come in second at 27% of the market. They’re discreet, easy to dose, and ideal if you’re on the go. We stock cartridges that have been tested for heavy metals, pesticides, and residual solvents—things you won’t find confirmed at an unlicensed shop. Pre-rolls take third place at 17% of sales, and they’re perfect if you want convenience without the prep work.
Edibles are growing fast, especially among people who don’t want to smoke or vape. They take longer to kick in—usually 30 to 90 minutes—but the effects last longer too. We’ll help you figure out the right dose based on your tolerance and experience level. Concentrates, tinctures, and beverages round out the selection, and we’re adding new products as more brands enter the New York market. By the end of 2024, over 500 cannabis brands were operating here, so the variety is only getting better.
Every licensed dispensary in New York is required to display a Dispensary Verification Tool in the storefront. It’s a QR code you can scan with your phone, and it takes you directly to the New York Office of Cannabis Management website with a list of all legal adult-use dispensaries.
If a shop doesn’t have that QR code posted, or if the staff can’t show you proof of licensing, walk out. As of early 2024, there were only about 85 licensed dispensaries in New York compared to an estimated 1,400+ unlicensed shops in NYC alone. That means most of the “dispensaries” you see on Google Maps or street corners aren’t legal, and they’re not required to test their products or follow any safety standards.
Governor Hochul has even called out Google and Meta for promoting unlicensed shops without distinguishing them from legal ones. So don’t rely on a search result or a storefront sign. Look for the QR code, scan it, and confirm the dispensary is on the state’s official list before you buy anything.
The biggest difference is safety and accountability. Licensed dispensaries are required to sell products that have passed third-party lab testing for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and contaminants. Every product must include accurate labeling and New York’s universal cannabis symbol. If something’s wrong, there’s a regulated supply chain you can trace it back to.
Unlicensed shops don’t have to follow any of that. They can sell untested products with inaccurate labels, and if you get sick or have a bad experience, there’s no one to hold accountable. You’re also not getting the same product transparency—no QR codes, no Certificates of Analysis, no way to verify what’s actually in that cart or edible.
Beyond safety, shopping at a licensed marijuana dispensary near you supports New York’s social equity program, which prioritizes licenses for justice-impacted individuals and communities harmed by prohibition. Unlicensed shops undercut that effort and make it harder for legal businesses to survive. You’re not just buying weed—you’re choosing which version of this industry you want to support.
You’ll find flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, concentrates, tinctures, and beverages. Flower is the most popular, making up about 34% of the market in New York, and most people buy it in 3.5-gram packages. We carry different strains across indica, sativa, and hybrid categories, with varying THC and CBD levels depending on what kind of experience you’re after.
Pre-rolls are convenient if you don’t want to grind or roll your own. Vapes are discreet and easy to dose, which is why they account for 27% of sales statewide. Edibles take longer to kick in—usually 30 to 90 minutes—but the effects last longer, and they’re a good option if you don’t want to inhale anything. Concentrates like wax, shatter, and live resin are higher in potency and typically used by more experienced consumers.
Every product category has been tested and labeled according to state regulations. If you’re new to cannabis or trying a new product type, our budtenders will walk you through dosing, onset times, and what to expect. We’re not here to push the highest-THC product on the shelf—we’re here to help you find what actually works for you.
Yes. Boerum Hill sits in the 11217 zip code, and you’ll find The Travel Agency Downtown Brooklyn operating in that area. If you’re willing to travel a bit, there are dozens of other licensed cannabis stores across Brooklyn. In 11201, you’ve got Buzzy, Happy Munkey, Kaya Bliss, and Yerba Buena. Over in 11215, there’s Budega NYC, Cannalicious, Chronic Brooklyn, and Verdi Park Slope.
Williamsburg (11211) has a strong concentration too—Flower Daddy, Grams Cannabis, The Flowery, and Twisted Vibration are all licensed and operating. If you’re in Bushwick (11221), check out StashMaster, The Emerald, or Chrome Flowers. Down in Red Hook (11231), there’s Ignyte and Erudito.
The point is, you have options. And all of these dispensaries are required to meet the same testing and labeling standards. Some may have better selection, others may have better prices or more knowledgeable staff, but they’re all operating legally. Compare that to the estimated 1,500 unlicensed shops across NYC, and you’ll see why it’s worth taking the time to confirm you’re shopping somewhere legitimate.
Prices vary depending on product type, potency, and brand, but you’re generally looking at $40–$60 for an eighth (3.5 grams) of flower, $30–$50 for a vape cartridge, $15–$25 for a pre-roll, and $20–$40 for a pack of edibles. Concentrates tend to run higher, usually $50–$80 depending on quality and extraction method.
Are licensed dispensaries more expensive than unlicensed shops? Sometimes, yes. But you’re paying for tested, regulated products and the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly what you’re consuming. Unlicensed shops can undercut prices because they’re not paying for lab testing, regulatory compliance, or taxes. That savings comes at the cost of safety and accountability.
As more dispensaries open and competition increases, prices are coming down. New York’s legal cannabis market is projected to hit $2.8 billion by 2025, and with over 110 new licensed retailers opening in 2024 alone, you’re going to see more competitive pricing across the board. For now, expect to pay a bit more for legal weed—but also expect to know exactly what you’re getting.
Start by talking to a budtender. That’s what we’re here for. Let us know if you’re looking for something to help you relax, sleep, focus, or just take the edge off. Tell us if you’ve never tried cannabis before, or if you have but didn’t love the experience. We’ll ask questions about your tolerance, preferences, and any concerns you have, and we’ll recommend products that match.
If you’re brand new, we’ll probably suggest starting with a low-dose edible (5–10mg THC) or a vape with a balanced THC-to-CBD ratio. Flower is great too, but it requires more prep and knowledge around consumption methods. Pre-rolls are an easy middle ground. Whatever you choose, we’ll explain onset times, duration, and what to expect so you’re not caught off guard.
The “start low, go slow” rule is real. It’s better to take too little and add more later than to take too much and spend the next few hours uncomfortable. Cannabis affects everyone differently based on tolerance, body weight, metabolism, and even what you’ve eaten that day. Give it time, pay attention to how you feel, and don’t be afraid to come back and adjust your approach. We’ve seen it all, and there’s no judgment here.
