As cannabis legislation around the country continues to change, so does the access to and quality of cannabis – and New York City is no different. Since its legalization in 2021, New York City has seen an uptick in illegal cannabis shops, but this isn’t just a challenge for city officials; it is a concern for the health and well-being of customers, mainly due to the unregulated products these shops sell potentially containing harmful ingredients. 

Buying cannabis at a licensed shop guarantees that you are receiving safe and high-quality products, which is precisely what Brooklyn’s Premier Cannabis Dispensary, The Plug, is here for (plus more). 

About The Plug

Created to narrow the gap in New York City’s cannabis market, The Plug is a premium dispensary offering top-quality products at competitive prices with exceptional customer service. The Plug aims to bring a fresh perspective to cannabis retail by curating a diverse selection of strain-specific products while delivering an elevated and personable shopping experience. 

You can find exclusive cannabis strains at The Plug, ranging from flowers and tinctures to beverages and gummies. If you are looking for something sweet and convenient, The Plug has a selection of chocolate cannabis products, including their Soft Power Sweets Cherry Chocolate Bar or KoKo Nuggs Crispy. Chocolate cannabis products have become increasingly popular, especially for their precise, consistent, and safe dosage.

This premier cannabis shop was founded on accessibility, quality, and community. The Plug offers more than affordable cannabis in NYC; it is a community-driven company that aims to educate and empower its customers. 

Understanding that dispensaries have the opportunity to use education and promote awareness to help break down stigmas surrounding cannabis, The Plug has worked to create a knowledgeable and supportive environment. The team has extensive knowledge and experience in the cannabis industry, ranging from cultivation and product selection to retail operations and customer education. 

The Importance of Licensure

Beyond its dedication to making a positive impact on the Brooklyn community, The Plug is inspired by the opportunity and challenge to break down stigmas regarding cannabis use by making premium (and safe) cannabis accessible – which involved getting New York licensure. 

Positioning itself to be the best cannabis dispensary in Brooklyn, the company has obtained state licensure to sell cannabis. This rigorous process requires submitting a competitive license and meeting all eligibility requirements. 

New York Cannabis license fees are also costly; however, with the growing demands of the state’s cannabis consumers and recent data suggesting that licensed businesses are succeeding in this industry, obtaining licensure can be well worth the fees.

The Plug has been able to overcome the challenges of state laws by building a solid compliance team that is experts in the field and prioritizing transparency with its community. As one of the few licensed dispensaries in Brooklyn, The Plug has been able to navigate the regulations of New York cannabis laws while also focusing on its customer satisfaction by providing a safe and reliable way to access top-quality, regulated, and tested products, guaranteeing safe and effective products are on the shelf. 

Bringing a fresh perspective to the cannabis market by focusing on offering an unmatched selection of strain-specific products and delivering excellent customer service, The Plug is Brooklyn’s top dispensary for quality and service – giving you the best pricing, best products, and best service.
