When searching for trusted cannabis products, it’s essential to shop at a licensed cannabis dispensary residents can count on. While unregulated shops may seem convenient or cheaper, there are major risks to buying from unlicensed sources.
At Green Leaf NY, we’re proud to be fully licensed by New York State — which means everything we carry meets strict safety, labeling, and testing standards.
What “Licensed” Really Means
A licensed cannabis dispensary in NY must follow state-mandated rules for:
- Product testing (for potency, contaminants, and mold)
- Secure packaging and labeling
- Track-and-trace systems to ensure safe sourcing
- Staff training and compliance protocols
This ensures that every product sold is safe, accurate, and legal.
Why Unlicensed Sources Are Risky
Unlicensed or “gray market” shops may not test their products, store them properly, or label them correctly. That means you could be consuming:
- Misrepresented THC/CBD content
- Contaminants like mold, pesticides, or solvents
- Expired or improperly stored products
According to New York’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), buying from unlicensed vendors undermines public safety and the state’s efforts to build a fair and legal market.
