In New York City, you can legally buy cannabis in a recreational weed dispensary as long as you are 21 or older and are willing to pay the state-established taxes. There are a few ‘delivery only’ dispensaries — which work similarly to food delivery services where you order your product online and then show your ID when the employee delivers it to your door — but most shops offer both in-person and delivery options.

Many recreational weed dispensary  are still tweaking their operations as they navigate the nuances of New York City’s legal market. For example, in addition to being required to provide customers with information on the state’s taxes, dispensaries must also comply with strict packaging and labeling rules for their products. Despite the challenges, recreational sales are off to a promising start, with prices expected to eventually level out in the upcoming months.

• Find a Recreational Dispensary That Fits Your Lifestyle and Budget

If you’re a first-timer, it is helpful to bring cash because most dispensaries only accept cash or credit cards, and are not equipped for ATMs. If you’re going to a recreational weed dispensary, look for one that has a loyalty program. These can often include perks like free merchandise, discounts, or even birthday gifts.
