The Albany cannabis scene

Visiting Albany?

Visiting Albany from out of town? New York has its own possession limits, ID requirements, and rules about where you can legally consume — review them before you buy. Most Albany dispensaries accept debit or cash; very few take credit cards due to federal banking restrictions. Plan for an ATM stop on the way and don't drive impaired after consuming.
