Going to a NY Medical Marijuana Dispensary for the first time? We can help.

Where to Start

1. Prepare your paper recommendation. Ensure that the name of your recommending provider is on the form and that your doctor has signed and dated the form.

2. Ensure you have your state issued medical marijuana id card.

3. Find a dispensary and request information about their products. Products vary at each dispensary. Call the dispensary or you may be able to lookup the dispensary’s menu on their website or on leafly.com. If not contact (call or email) the dispensary and they will send you a comprehensive list of their product offerings with pricing and concentration information.

4. Prepare a list of your medications to bring with you to the dispensary.

5. Speak with the pharmacist to receive a personalized recommendation for medical cannabis. If your doctor selected your regimen for you, this won’t be necessary, but still let the pharmacist know all of your allergies, chronic conditions, as well as herbal supplements, over the counter medications and prescription drugs you use.

Have Fun, Be Safe

While the above information only scratches the surface, it’s a good jumping off point for a newbie. Remember, Medical Marijuana can take some time to get acquainted with so, as always, have fun and be safe.
