Marijuana Dispensaries in Buffalo, NY

New York state strictly monitors local dispensaries. That’s why only five organizations have been approved to produce and distribute medical marijuana. Two of these organizations have locations in the Buffalo, N.Y., area.

Patient Qualifications

Before you visit a local dispensary, you need to be a patient with the New York Medical Marijuana Program. Only qualified applicants can join the program. They need to:

• Obtain a medical marijuana recommendation from a qualified physician
• Apply with the New York Department of Health
• Become a registered patient and receive a Medical Marijuana Program Registry ID Card

New Patient Tips

If this is your first time visiting a medical marijuana dispensary, you may be unsure of what to bring or what to expect. The compassionate staff at each location is there to answer any questions you have. They can help you find the best products to treat your condition.

Before dropping in, keep the following in mind:

• Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are preferred.
• You’ll need state-issued identification, your doctor’s recommendation and your Registry ID Card to enter.
• Make sure your documentation is not expired — recommendations expire a year after they’re issued.
• You can only purchase a 30-day supply, unless your doctor has recommended a smaller dosage.

Medical Marijuana Products

Every dispensary sells a unique inventory of medical marijuana products. Although, they’re all required to carry at least one item that has an equal CBD and THC ratio, and one product with a higher CBD ratio.

All medicinal cannabis is free from pesticides and contaminants and meets the highest standards. They’re lab-tested to ensure you’re receiving the purest products on the market.

Although you can’t purchase smokeable or edible items in New York state, there’s a broad range of other products available. You can find liquids and oils for vaporization or inhalation. There are also oral capsules.
