From air conditioning to Nathan’s hot dogs to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, some of the coolest staples of modern culture were born and bred in Brooklyn, NY. Today, this beloved New York City borough continues its tradition of bringing great things to the world in the form of a slew of legal recreational cannabis dispensaries. Among them, you’ll find a 4,000-square-foot lifestyle-store-cum-dispensary that feels like a grown-up Urban Outfitters, a neighborhood shop owned by a former chef who now specializes in cannabis-infused pantry staples, and so much more. But how do you know which so-called dispensaries are legit and which to avoid?
Illegal dispensaries often disguise themselves as smoke shops or convenience stores, so here’s a good rule of thumb: If you can buy a Snapple, you don’t want to buy your cannabis there. Legal dispensaries scan your ID before you’re allowed to get near the good stuff. Each item is labeled with a QR code that you can scan for detailed information about the origin and manufacturing of what you’re getting. Everything you buy comes in childproof packaging, ensuring both safety and quality control.
The list below includes all of the legal recreational cannabis dispensaries in Brooklyn. Whether you’re looking for a dispensary near the Barclays Center, a fun vape to smoke as you explore on your own, or a six-pack of cannabis-infused seltzers for a day on the water in Sheepshead Bay, you’ll find it all and more in Brooklyn. Of course, if you’d rather sit on the couch and veg, many of these dispensaries offer delivery right to your home or hotel, too.
