Shop local, support Buffalo

When you buy from a licensed South Buffalo dispensary, your dollars stay in the community—supporting local jobs, neighborhood improvements, and area nonprofits. Just as important, you’re buying from a store that meets New York State’s safety and compliance standards, not the gray market.

How to confirm we’re licensed (in seconds):

- Look for the blue Dispensary Verification Tool decal at our entrance and scan the QR code—this takes you to OCM’s site to confirm we’re licensed.

- You can also check OCM’s public Dispensary Location Verification list before you head over.

Why licensed matters for your safety

Licensed New York products are lab-tested for potency and contaminants, and every legal package carries the state’s Universal Symbol plus a QR code linking to the product’s Certificate of Analysis (CoA) so you can see the testing yourself.

Know the basics before you shop

- Age: Adult-use cannabis is for 21+ only; dispensaries must check ID.

- Possession limits: Adults 21+ may possess up to 3 oz of cannabis and 24 g of concentrated cannabis.

- Where you can consume: Private homes and most places where tobacco smoking is allowed—not in vehicles, private businesses (like restaurant patios), hookah/cigar bars, or on federal property. NY also bans smoking in state parks and many public outdoor spaces.

At The Cannabis Store, we pride ourselves on knowledgeable staff, clear dosing guidance, and an everyday commitment to compliance and safe storage education.
