Scan the QR code and confirm the business name + address match what you see in front of you.
Step 2: Verify the product is regulated
OCM also recommends checking:
-
The NY Universal Symbol on regulated products, and Office of Cannabis Management
-
A QR code/link to the product’s Certificate of Analysis (CoA) (lab results).
Step 3: Compare shops with a simple checklist
Once you’ve verified the shop is licensed, compare based on what actually impacts your experience:
-
Customer service: friendly staff, clear guidance, and whether they answer questions without rushing you
-
Shopping style: quick pickup vs. browse + recommendations
-
Menu fit: the categories you want (availability changes daily)
-
Convenience: location, hours, and how quickly you can get in/out
-
Comfort + accessibility: first-timer friendly vibe, layout, and any accessibility needs
-
