Six months after opening as a pop-up, we’ve completed renovation of the permanent space with the main entrance now on the corner of 13th and Broadway. We’re unbelievably grateful for countless individuals whose passion, creativity, and commitment to this project made it happen.
It’s our one year anniversary (birthday wishes welcome). Thank you to the 125,000+ of you who traveled with us this last year. It’s been a journey and we’re just getting started.
710 might not be as famous as 420, but that’s all the more reason to celebrate. Learn about the background of oil day, and how to celebrate with us at the

Thank you

and
@ABCNewsLive
. Fantastic piece about NY cannabis. "We knew that we wanted to give a percentage of our profits to a not for profit (
@TheDoeFund
) that serves populations that have been negatively affected by the war on drugs."
@ElGuapoTron4000
Shout out to your wife. Awesome.
If you're up by Carnegie, you should stop by our Fifth Ave store right between 47th and 48th. Otherwise find us in Union Square or Downtown Brooklyn. Hope to have you travel with us soon.
Faces of Cannabis, produced by
@MissGrass
, is an experiential photo series that brings the community together to celebrate all the ways we’re touched by this plant.
The free exhibit is in our OG spot at 62 E 13th Street. It’s open daily 12PM-8PM, until December 20th.
Can't believe it's been 3 months since we opened our Broadway space (buildout vid here), and 9 months since we originally opened for business.
Thank you to everyone who helped get us here.
"The majority of all profits from the dispensary go toward The Doe Fund and its initiatives. “We interviewed a lot of not-for-profits across the state over a long period of time,” Hankin-Biggers says of the journey to partnering with The Doe Fund."
"The space, designed by the architecture firm Leong Leong , belongs in the same family as New York City’s retail temples—the KHAITEs, KITHs, and Aesops of the world that demonstrate how good retail is about a lot more than a transaction."

"Arana Hankin-Biggers agreed that social equity programs meant to repair the harms wrought by the war on drugs have broadly fallen short. 'Having meaningful partners who really believe in giving back is going to be crucial (to improving racial equity).'"
