Gaslight Dispensary on Forest Avenue, the top-scored Staten Island store at 9.2, has a New Jersey twin: its own site lists a second store in South Orange, a state line away that customers cannot carry purchases across. Gaslight, Clouditude on Hylan Boulevard and Highstone on Clove Road are the three with Verdex profiles among 20 licensed stores. Adults 21 and older can buy. The other 17 records are licence-only for now, so read the address and licence code before you pick a store, and confirm hours and delivery areas by phone.

Four roads, three bridges

Staten Island's listings follow the borough's long roads: Forest Avenue (465 and 755), Hylan Boulevard (4034), Clove Road (1938), Richmond Avenue (2059 and 3295), Arthur Kill Road (1547) and Targee Street (752). Some names are licence-holder companies rather than shop brands, such as 960 Bloomingdale Road LLC and East End Ventures I LLC, so check the sign.

  • State line: the Goethals Bridge, Outerbridge Crossing and Bayonne Bridge connect the island to New Jersey. Carrying cannabis across any of them is illegal in both directions.
  • Licence numbers: Gaslight's OCM code is CAURD-24-000173, a conditional retail licence from 2024, according to its own listing.
  • Tax: 13% retail, with ordinary sales tax not applied to adult-use cannabis.
  • Delivery: several Staten Island stores advertise delivery; confirm the store or courier is licensed.

The state's list is the tie-breaker when a smoke shop tries to look like a dispensary; our guide shows the sticker checks. Compare other boroughs on the New York page.
