In the state of New York, marijuana consumption is legal for both medical and recreational use. Medical cannabis for patients with qualifying conditions became legal in 2014, thanks to the passage of the Compassionate Care Act, or S7923. However, adult-use cannabis only recently became legal thanks to the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA), or S854-A, passed by the New York legislature in March 2021. This law allows adults 21 and over to purchase, possess, and transport a limited amount of marijuana within the state of New York.
Currently, medical marijuana delivery is legal and available throughout Brooklyn, including in the following neighborhoods:
Brooklyn Heights
Cobble Hill
Dumbo
Park Slope
Carroll Gardens
Downtown Brooklyn
Bedford Stuyvesant
Fort Greene / Clinton Hill
Prospect Heights
Williamsburg
Greenpoint
Bushwick
If you're looking for adult-use weed delivery in Brooklyn, we have some bad news – it's currently not available. While adult-use weed consumption is legal, the state is still developing the infrastructure for both adult-use dispensaries and delivery services throughout the state. That includes New York City and the Brooklyn area.
The only delivery services available currently are strictly for medical marijuana patients. New York doesn't offer reciprocity, so consumers will need to have a valid New York state medical marijuana card to make purchases in the state.
Yes, medical marijuana delivery is available, but adult-use cannabis deliveries are not. That's because adult-use marijuana only recently became legal in the state of New York. Government agencies are still working through the implementation and licensing processes.
For the most part, adults 21 and over may consume cannabis – including smoking or vaping – wherever smoking tobacco is legal under the smoke-free air laws. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. Smoking is prohibited in motor vehicles, both while moving and while parked, or in outdoor dining areas at restaurants. If you choose to smoke or vape weed in a prohibited area, you could be subject to a civil summons and fine.
Brooklyn cannabis delivery is a simple process. With only a few steps, you'll get medical marijuana delivered right to your door. First, you'll need to pick the delivery service you'd like to use. After browsing through all of the possible options, you'll make your selections and add them to your cart. Once in your cart, you'll schedule your delivery. From there, a delivery driver will meet you and you'll confirm your identity as well as show your valid medical marijuana card to your driver. Then, you'll pay for your delivery and receive your order.
Yes, weed delivery is safe. The New York's Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) licenses weed delivery services. As you receive your weed delivery, simply take the same precautions you'd utilize during any other type of delivery.
A wide variety of cannabis products are available for medicinal delivery, including edibles, flower, oils, tinctures, and more. Delivery services have their own selections, so you'll be able to browse these services to find the best products for your needs.
Yes, you need to be present during the delivery. If you're not at the physical address, your delivery driver won't complete your order. During the delivery process, you'll also show the delivery driver your valid identification, including your New York state medical marijuana registry card.
New York law and the prescription you receive from a medical professional dictate the amount of weed you can order. Per state law, you may receive up to a 60-day supply of approved cannabis products, as long as there are no extra restrictions from your prescriber. Both patients and designated caregivers need to have their medical registry ID card on hand any time they are possessing medical cannabis.
Currently, dispensaries are only available to medical marijuana patients. For adult-use cannabis, legal dispensary locations are in development. Should you want to find medical marijuana near you in Brooklyn, check out the Weedmaps dispensary page.
