How many cannabis dispensaries are there in the Lower Hudson Valley? See our map
The marijuana industry continues to grow across the country— and since New York legalized the sale and consumption of cannabis in 2021 for adults, hundreds of legal dispensaries have opened across the Empire State.
The arrival of the village of Haverstraw's first legal dispensary, 202 Cannabis Co., in early May, brings Westchester and Rockland's number of legal pot shops up to 19.
Read on to learn more about the Lower Hudson Valley's marijuana shops, and where to find them.
The first licenses were given to 32 dispensaries in 2022 through the Conditional Adult Use Retail Dispensary program, which granted priority licenses to business owners directly impacted by prior marijuana convictions, or nonprofits with a history of helping incarcerated people.
However, the CAURD program met some push back in August 2023, when a state judge blocked new licenses from being granted after a group of service-disabled veterans claimed that state regulators "unconstitutionally awarded initial dispensary licenses to businesses impacted by prior marijuana convictions."
This ruling paused licenses from being granted and dispensaries from being open until October 2023.
See our map below to find where dispensaries are located in Westchester and Rockland counties.

‘We'd love it to become law next week:' What would the Massachusetts cannabis bill change?
The House unanimously passed a bill this week to update and change cannabis laws in Massachusetts. Those pushing for it believe it would modernize priorities and policies to be more in line with surrounding states and possibly keep some businesses from closing. The bill known as 'An Act modernizing the commonwealth's cannabis laws', would make it so companies can grow from three to six stores over a three-year period. Brandon Pollock, the CEO of Theory Wellness, said his company would like to expand. 'We'd love it to become law next week, but I don't know if that's realistic,' Pollock said. 'This would allow a lot of growth for our team and some opportunities for some new business.' Those pushing for the bill to become law said it would help companies make more money and also bring more investors to the state. 'I know a lot of entrepreneurs that want to sell but I can't buy them because we're at our limit of stores and then companies like Theory want to grow but we can't grow because we're at our limit of stores,' Pollock explained. In addition to increasing the license cap, the Massachusetts Cannabis Coalition said consumers would be able to purchase up to two ounces of product instead of one ounce. 'So, dispensaries will really benefit from changes like that,' the Massachusetts Cannabis Coalition Executive Director, Ryan Dominguez, said. Dominguez said another possible big change would be to the CCC, also known as the state's Cannabis Control Commission. 'This change will move the commission from five commissioners to three commissioners, and then all of those commissioners will now be appointed by the governor,' Dominguez explained. The CCC works to implement and administer laws surrounding marijuana in the state. Dominguez said having the CCC solely under the governor could help define its roles and responsibilities. 'I think we're starting to see that commissioners are starting to come up on their terms, and if they don't act quickly, we could be in a position where the CCC is down to two commissioners without a chair,' Dominguez said. 'Then there's no way for us to really operate our businesses or get any of the changes that we're looking for.' Those against the bill have warned that if the state allows certain operators to grow even more, it could hurt small and equity-owned businesses. Now, it's up to the Senate to either pick up the current legislation, make their own version of it, or delay picking it up altogether until the next legislative session. This is a developing story.

Why Plug Power Stock Popped Today
Plug Power wants authority to issue more shares. Either that, or it wants to conduct a reverse stock split. If shareholders let it do the first thing, it might be able to avoid doing the second thing. 10 stocks we like better than Plug Power › Shares of Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG), the maker of fuel cell systems -- and now also of the hydrogen to fuel them -- shot 13% higher through 1:11 p.m. ET Friday, as investors received encouragement that the company might be able to avoid a devastating (to morale) reverse stock split. Our story begins one week ago, when Plug Power sent shareholders a preliminary proxy statement advising of the matters that will be raised at its July 3 annual general meeting: "Approval of an amendment to the Company's charter to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 1,500,000,000 shares to 3,000,000,000 shares;" and "Approval of ... a reverse stock split ... at a ratio of not less than 1-for-5 and not more than 1-for-200." Unable to earn a profit selling fuel cells or hydrogen, Plug Power has to continually create and sell new shares to keep itself solvent. But as its share count approaches 1.1 billion, the company will soon need to authorize more shares to keep this ball rolling. Either that, or it must shrink its share count through a reverse split -- and then resume growing the share count again. As a business model, this all leaves much to be desired. I certainly wouldn't invest in Plug Power myself. But as points out today, Plug is pleading with investors to approve at least one of the above options so that it can remain in business. As a consolation prize, Plug is also assuring investors that if they raise the ceiling on shares outstanding, it can avoid the reverse-split option. Investors seem encouraged by this assurance today. That's why they're bidding Plug stock up.
