Key points to conside regarding Disensaries:

Regulations: Dispensaries must comply with state regulations, including age restrictions (21 and over) and product testing for safety.
Local Variety: Each dispensary may carry different brands and products, so it's worth visiting multiple locations to explore options.
Educational Resources: Many dispensaries offer educational materials and staff who can provide guidance on product selection, consumption methods, and dosing.
Community Focus: Some dispensaries emphasize local sourcing and community involvement, contributing to local initiatives and supporting regional farmers.
Locations: Major towns like Kingston, Poughkeepsie, and New Paltz have seen a rise in dispensaries, catering to both local residents and visitors.

Catskill Mountain High- a Nice & High Company as described on their website, is a small Business that is family-owned and operated that began as a CBD store in August of 2023. In October of the same year, they teamed up to act as a site for a Cannabis Growers’ Showcase, operating under the license and support of Legal Dispensary.
