Cannabis in NYC

New York legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021 with the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA). The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) licenses retail dispensaries under several programs — including CAURD (Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary) — and enforces against unlicensed shops. Every product sold at a licensed NYC dispensary, including everything at Good Grades, is lab-tested, labeled with cannabinoid content, and tracked from cultivator to shelf.

Brooklyn

Brooklyn has the most rapidly expanding licensed retail footprint in NYC, with dispensaries in Williamsburg, Bushwick, Crown Heights, Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn. Good Grades does not directly deliver to Brooklyn — but uses the same supplier network as many licensed Brooklyn dispensaries.

Manhattan

Manhattan is the most visible borough for legal cannabis, with licensed dispensaries in SoHo, Union Square, the Upper West Side, and Harlem. Always check the OCM license sticker — Manhattan still has the highest concentration of unlicensed storefronts in the city.

Bronx

Licensed retail is still expanding in the Bronx, with new dispensaries approved through OCM's CAURD program. Bronx residents looking for licensed cannabis delivery can also order from licensed Queens and Manhattan operators where service areas overlap.

Staten Island

Staten Island has the smallest licensed footprint of the five boroughs. As of this guide, residents have the fewest in-borough options and most rely on licensed delivery from neighboring boroughs.
