New York OCM

How do I verify that a New York dispensary is licensed?

Check the shop against the state's own records: OCM's dispensary location verification resource and the Current OCM Licenses dataset on New York State Open Data.

Use the state's own records rather than a shop's signage or a third-party directory. The Office of Cannabis Management publishes a dispensary location verification resource, and New York State Open Data publishes a current list of OCM licenses.

If a business does not appear in those state records, treat it as unlicensed. Unlicensed sellers are not subject to New York's testing, labelling and packaging requirements.

Bsmile does not publish retailer listings we have not confirmed, and being licensed does not mean a retailer stocks Bsmile products.
