Brooklyn has 89 dispensaries licensed by the New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). Adults 21 and older with a valid government photo ID can buy, including visitors with an out-of-state license or a passport, and IDNYC is accepted. 2 Brooklyn stores serve certified medical patients. Brooklyn's licensed stores keep some of the latest hours in the state, with four open until 2 a.m.
Brooklyn's market is spread out the way the borough is. Instead of one shopping district, almost every neighborhood from Greenpoint to Bay Ridge and Coney Island has its own licensed store, so most Brooklyn shoppers buy close to home rather than traveling to a strip. Our list includes only stores with a Brooklyn address on OCM's license list. Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island have their own pages, and Queens stores just over the line in Ridgewood or Ozone Park are filed under those neighborhood names.
