Staten Island has 17 dispensaries licensed by the New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). Adults 21 and older can buy with a valid government photo ID, including an out-of-state license, a passport or IDNYC. 1 store, Be. on New Dorp Lane, also serves certified medical patients. Most stores sit on Forest Avenue or Hylan Boulevard.
Staten Island is the most car-dependent borough, so its stores line the main roads instead of clustering near subway stops. Two rules matter before you drive off: New York bans cannabis use in any vehicle, even parked, and the bridges to New Jersey cross a state line cannabis cannot legally cross. Our list holds only stores with a Staten Island address on OCM's license list.
