Medical Marijuana has been legal in New York for quite some time, and its positive impact on patients may have been what spurred the state to adopt recreational legalization. It was about this time last year that the state had passed a bill to legalize recreational marijuana, and while it’s gained legal status since then, dispensaries are finally appearing after such a long transition period. However, most might not begin selling recreational goods until July 22.

If you’re looking for a more luxurious and upscale shopping experience, head to MedMen in Manhattan. If you’re a medical patient, there are doctors on site ready to write you a prescription during a consultation. Even if you’re a recreational user, you’ll definitely find something at MedMen to help you wait for full-fledged recreational sales.
