Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for cannabis that’s actually safe, properly tested, and consistent every time you buy it.
That’s harder to find than it should be on Long Island. Nassau County only has five municipalities that allow licensed cannabis retail—just 7% of the county. Most dispensaries are clustered in specific zones, and many unlicensed shops are still operating with products that haven’t been tested for pesticides, heavy metals, or mold.
When you buy from us as a licensed dispensary near Matinecock, you’re getting products held to New York state standards. That means independent lab testing, clear cannabinoid profiles, and Certificates of Analysis you can actually read. You know the THC percentage. You know what’s in it. You’re not gambling on product quality or wondering if what’s on the label matches what’s in the package.
We operate as a licensed cannabis dispensary serving Matinecock and the surrounding Nassau County area. We’re part of New York’s regulated market—the one that requires testing, transparency, and accountability.
Nassau County has some of the strictest zoning in the state when it comes to cannabis retail. That’s created a gap between demand and access, especially in affluent areas like Matinecock where the median household income is nearly $180,000. You shouldn’t have to drive 30 minutes or settle for untested products just because local access is limited.
We focus on quality-tested flower, edibles, vapes, and concentrates with full lab reports available for every product. You’re buying legal cannabis from a business that follows the rules—and that matters more than most people realize until they’ve seen what unregulated products can contain.
You browse products online or visit us in person. Every product has a description, cannabinoid profile, and access to third-party lab results. If you’re not sure what you need, you can ask questions—our team knows the inventory and can help you find something that fits your goals, whether that’s pain management, sleep support, or recreational use.
Once you’ve picked a product, you place your order for pickup or delivery. New York consumers prefer in-person shopping more than most states, but delivery is available if that’s easier for you. You’ll need a valid ID showing you’re 21 or older.
When you pick up or receive your order, everything is packaged with clear labeling. You’ll see the THC and CBD percentages, the product type, and often a QR code linking to the full Certificate of Analysis. That COA shows exactly what was tested—cannabinoids, terpenes, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants. It’s the same standard used across New York’s regulated market, and it’s the reason you can trust what you’re buying.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting cannabis that’s been tested by an independent lab before it hits the shelf. That’s not optional in New York’s legal market—it’s required. Every product goes through testing for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and microbial contamination. If it doesn’t pass, it doesn’t get sold.
You’re also getting accurate labeling. The THC percentage you see is the THC percentage in the product. The strain name isn’t made up. The weight is correct. These sound like basic expectations, but they’re not guaranteed outside the legal market.
Nassau County and Long Island have a growing network of licensed dispensaries, but access is still limited compared to other parts of the state. In Matinecock’s surrounding areas, you’ll find licensed options like Simply Green in Coram, Long Island Cannabis Club in Deer Park, Strong Strains in East Setauket, and several in Farmingdale including Happy Days, Planet Nugg, and Strain Stars. Further east, there’s Canna Blooms in Farmingville, Strain Stars in Riverhead, Beleaf in Calverton, and Brown Budda and Charlie Fox in Southampton.
The legal market in New York hit over $1 billion in retail sales, with more than 260 operational dispensaries statewide. Monthly sales climbed from $34 million in early 2024 to over $168 million by early 2026. That growth reflects consumer demand for regulated, tested products—and a willingness to pay premium prices for legal access and peace of mind.
Licensed dispensaries in New York are required to sell products that pass third-party lab testing. That means an independent, accredited laboratory tests every batch for cannabinoid potency, pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and microbial contaminants like mold and bacteria.
If a product fails any part of that testing, it can’t be sold. The results are documented in a Certificate of Analysis, which you can access through a QR code on the packaging or by asking our staff. That COA shows exactly what’s in the product and what contaminants were tested for.
This is a major difference from unlicensed shops. Studies have found that 90% of samples from unregulated dispensaries contained pesticides, fungicides, or other contaminants. You’re not just paying for convenience when you buy legal—you’re paying for safety standards that are actually enforced.
Legal cannabis costs more because it’s held to higher standards. You’re paying for independent lab testing, regulatory compliance, proper cultivation and handling practices, and accurate labeling. You’re also paying state taxes that fund regulation and enforcement.
New York has one of the highest average item prices in the country at $31.49, compared to a national average closer to $25. That’s driven by limited supply, high demand, and the cost of operating within a regulated framework. New Yorkers also spend about 50% more per order than the national average—$123 versus $81—which suggests consumers here value legal access and are willing to pay for it.
Unlicensed shops skip the testing, skip the taxes, and often sell products that wouldn’t pass state safety standards. The lower price reflects lower standards. If you’re using cannabis for medical reasons or just want to know what you’re consuming, the extra cost is worth it.
In-person shopping lets you see the products, ask questions, and get recommendations from our staff who know the inventory. You can compare options, check lab results on the spot, and leave with your purchase immediately. New York consumers prefer in-person shopping more than most states—only 44% of orders are for delivery here, compared to 60% nationwide.
Delivery is convenient if you don’t want to travel or if the nearest dispensary isn’t close. You’ll browse online, place your order, and have it brought to your address. You still need to show valid ID proving you’re 21 or older, and delivery fees may apply depending on distance and order size.
Both options give you access to the same tested, regulated products. It’s just a matter of whether you value the immediacy and personal interaction of in-person shopping or the convenience of delivery. Most people try both and settle into a preference based on their schedule and how often they buy.
Yes. New York allows recreational cannabis sales to anyone 21 or older, so you don’t need a medical card to buy cannabis for medical use. You can walk into our dispensary and purchase products based on your needs—whether that’s pain management, sleep support, appetite enhancement, or anxiety relief.
That said, having a medical card can offer benefits like lower taxes, higher purchase limits, and access to specific medical formulations that aren’t available on the recreational side. If you’re using cannabis primarily for medical reasons, it might be worth looking into the medical program.
About 30% of New York cannabis users consume for both medical and recreational reasons, and 15% use it strictly for medical purposes. Our staff can help you find products that match your goals, whether you’re looking for high-CBD options for inflammation or specific terpene profiles for relaxation. You’re not required to explain why you’re buying, but our budtenders are happy to offer guidance if you ask.
A Certificate of Analysis shows the lab test results for a specific batch of cannabis. You want to see cannabinoid levels—primarily THC and CBD percentages—so you know the potency of what you’re buying. That helps you dose accurately and avoid products that are stronger or weaker than you expect.
You also want to check the contaminant testing section. This should show results for pesticides, heavy metals like lead and arsenic, mycotoxins, and microbial contaminants like mold and bacteria. If any of these are present above safe limits, the product shouldn’t pass testing. A clean COA means the product met New York’s safety standards.
Some COAs also include terpene profiles, which tell you about the flavor, aroma, and potential effects of the strain. Terpenes like myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene contribute to whether a product feels relaxing, energizing, or balanced. Not every consumer cares about terpenes, but if you’re trying to dial in a specific experience, they’re worth paying attention to.
Yes. Nassau County has limited licensed retail options, but there are several nearby. In Suffolk County, you’ll find Simply Green in Coram, Long Island Cannabis Club in Deer Park, and Strong Strains in East Setauket. Farmingdale has multiple options including Happy Days, Planet Nugg, and Strain Stars.
Further east, there’s Canna Blooms in Farmingville, Strain Stars in Riverhead, Beleaf in Calverton, and both Brown Budda and Charlie Fox in Southampton. These are all licensed, regulated dispensaries operating under New York state law, so they’re held to the same testing and safety standards.
Nassau County only allows cannabis retail in five of its 69 municipalities, which is why access feels limited compared to other parts of the state. That’s also why unlicensed shops have tried to fill the gap—but those shops aren’t subject to testing or oversight. If you’re driving to a dispensary, it’s worth confirming they’re licensed through New York’s Office of Cannabis Management. That ensures you’re getting products that meet state safety standards and aren’t supporting the illicit market.
