Recently, Long Island welcomed its first cannabis dispensary targeted for recreational use. The stores’ location is in East Farmingdale and is called “Strain Stars” (1).
It is a family-owned business and becomes the 19th cannabis dispensary to open its doors in New York. The Empire State legalized recreational cannabis in 2021 but surprisingly, only 4 towns on Long Island have accepted to permit retail stores.
New York State has given priority for licenses to individuals with a prior cannabis conviction or to their relatives.
