For anyone confused about which storefronts are licensed, the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) has launched a new map to help.
Behold the Legal Online Cannabis Activities Locator (LOCAL) map — "a tool designed to make the application process more efficient, transparent, and affordable."
The map features the following:
The first is an industry-focused map tailored for applicants, licensees, and stakeholders, featuring advanced capabilities such as generating proximity reports, searching licenses, exporting data, and navigating multiple data layers.
And!
The second tool ... is a consumer-focused dispensary map allowing New Yorkers to easily locate the nearest legal dispensary, ensuring access to safe, regulated cannabis products.
The consumer portion includes coming-soon legal operations. A search under zip 10009 reveals that Avenue B will soon have two legal dispensaries at Nos. 15 and 229.
The LOCAL Map Application Tool can be accessed by visiting the website here.
There are currently 197 adult-use dispensaries open for business across New York state. Find a complete list of dispensaries here.
Meanwhile, law enforcement continues to crack down on unlicensed cannabis shops throughout NYC. Elected officials have said these businesses do not comply with regulations meant to protect our health, and some have been found to sell to minors.

More than I thought. Last I heard there were like four.
They've needed this for so long, too bad it's basically unusable lol.
Protect our health? You mean protect their chosen licencees from competitors selling better, cheaper out of state product.
