The number of licensed cannabis dispensaries in New York has been steadily growing since the state launched its adult-use cannabis market. As of early 2024, New York has a developing network of dispensaries, with retailers serving both medical and adult-use customers as the market expands. The initial rollout has focused on transitioning conditional licensees to full operations and addressing high demand across various regions of the state, particularly in urban centers. The exact number is dynamic as the market matures and more licenses are awarded by the state’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). For the most up-to-date figures, it is always recommended to consult the official New York state cannabis regulatory body, which provides lists of licensed establishments to ensure consumers have accurate information on legal access points.
