Hey, Staten Islanders, we are so excited to welcome you to ZenZest. As a newcomer, you likely have many questions about what to expect. To help, we’ve compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions we get about the first time visiting a NY dispensary.
What do I need to bring with me?
One of the most common FAQs we hear is about what to bring. The most important thing you’ll need is a government-issued form of identification, such as a driver’s license, passport, or state-issued identification card. We need to confirm you’re at least 21 years old before you can shop at the dispensary. You’ll also need cash or a debit card to pay for your purchases.
What should I expect when I arrive?
ZenZest will provide a warm welcome upon your arrival. We will be available to help you make your preferred selections. We will also answer questions you may have about our available products. Our staff, known as budtenders, can explain the benefits of various strains and products. If you have a desired effect in mind, such as pain relief or relaxation, staff can recommend options to help you achieve those goals.
What types of products do you sell?
ZenZest provides a variety of options for recreational cannabis users. What to know about NY dispensaries is that they can retail the following:
- Flower
- Pre-rolls
- Edibles (gummies, chocolates, candies, drinks)
- Vape cartridges and pens
- Concentrates (wax, shatter, live resin)
- Tinctures
- Topicals (lotions, balms)
- CBD products
How much cannabis can I buy?
First-timers’ FAQs often include how much weed they can buy when visiting a dispensary. In New York, you’re allowed up to three ounces of marijuana flower and up to 24 grams of concentrates, such as edibles, tinctures, and vapes. You can visit the dispensary more than once but can’t buy more than the legal limit in a single day. If you’re new to cannabis, you may want to buy small amounts to try out products. For instance, you could pick up a small package of edibles or an eighth of an ounce of flower.
Can I purchase cannabis from ZenZest if I don’t live in New York?
Yes, we are permitted to sell weed to out-of-state residents as long as you have a valid form of ID, and you’re at least 21 years old. However, you can’t legally take your cannabis purchases out of the state. You can’t transport cannabis over state lines since it’s not legal at the federal level.
Does ZenZest offer discounts?
You can save on select brands and products when shopping at our dispensary. You can find the deals advertised on our website or in-store when you stop in for your visit. We also have a loyalty program that saves you money on future purchases.
