How it works

How cannabis is sold in Syracuse

  1. New York legalizes adult-use cannabis.

  2. The state's first licensed store opens in Manhattan; upstate cities wait months.

  3. FlynnStoned opens at 219 Walton Street in Armory Square, Onondaga County's first licensed shop, owned by Michael A. Flynn.

  4. Verdex's register lists 17 shops with a Syracuse address.

Where the shops and the gaps are

Downtown and the north side hold the cluster: Create Kindness LLC at 911 N Salina, Equity Max Property Management, Inc., at 814 Wolf Street and Inside the Park Dispo LLC at 135 Marshall Street near the university. West Genesee Street has Dune Lilly, LLC and Green on Top, LLC, and Erie Boulevard East has Diamond Tree Dispensary. FlynnStoned appears twice in the register, at Walton Street and 683 State Fair Boulevard, so count them as one operator with two doors. State Fair Boulevard runs past the New York State Fairgrounds. CNY Central reported that Fayetteville had opted out of ever hosting a dispensary and Camillus wanted none, so suburban shoppers drive in. New York in brief has the possession caps and tax schedule.
