New York Weed Companies with Innovative Marijuana Products

New York is seeing green as it wades further into legalizing cannabis. Medical marijuana was legalized in 2014, and in the years since more conditions are covered, allowing more people to get their medical marijuana cards. More recently, the push for recreational legalization in New York reached a turning point in April 2021, when Governor Andrew Cuomo passed the bill to legalize recreational weed for people ages 21 and up. But, even though the use of cannabis is now legalized, sales through licensed dispensaries(new ones and existing medical marijuana ones extending their businesses) wonโ€™t occur until sometime in 2022.

Even so, both new and existing cannabis companies have made moves to set up in the Empire State, recognizing that it will become a $4.2 billion market.

Below we call out some of our top picks and innovative weed products from a variety of cannabis companies operating in New York state.

About 60 miles north of Manhattan, at the foothills of the Ramapo Mountains lies the long-shuttered Mid-Orange Correctional Facility in Warwick, New York. This is where Green Thumb Industries, one of the largest marijuana companies in America, is creating a $150 million cultivation and manufacturing site on 40 acres of former penitentiary lands.

By 2023, Green Thumbโ€™s โ€œcannabis campusโ€ will start producing tens of thousands of pounds of marijuana, millions of THC-infused gummies, and vapes to fill the shelves of its dispensaries throughout New York state.

Among its different dispensary chains around the country, the $5.7 billion company runs FP Wellness in New York, with locations in Manhattan, Clifton Park, Rochester, and Nassau (coming soon). The dispensary chain prides itself on its โ€œpatient-focused approach,โ€ served by professional cannabis pharmacists. All of its medical marijuana products are tested and approved by the New York State Department of Health for safety and quality.

Some of the products its Manhattan dispensary carries (from different suppliers) include:
