A family-operated, community-first licensed cannabis dispensary in Greenwich Village, founded by Roland Conner.
Founded by Roland Conner alongside Patricia and Darius Conner, we created Smacked Village to partner with the best cannabis brands and bring trusted, legal products to New York City.
As one of New York’s first licensed recreational dispensaries, we set out to raise the standard for what a legal cannabis shop should be. One built on trust, access, and community.
More than just a place to shop, we wanted to create a space where community, culture, and opportunity all exist under one roof.
Greenwich Village felt like the natural home for our vision.
It’s a neighborhood defined by culture, creativity, and constant movement. Our location on Bleecker Street puts us right in the middle of it.
We’re surrounded by New York University, Washington Square Park, and a mix of students, locals, and visitors who shape the energy of our community every day.
For years, New Yorkers have been asking for safe, legal access to cannabis. We built Smacked Village to meet that need in Greenwich Village while also creating something bigger: a space that supports opportunity, reflects the community around it, and shows what legal cannabis can look like when it’s done right.
Smacked Village starts with Roland Conner, who grew up in Far Rockaway, Queens—an experience that shaped his vision to build a space that’s community-driven and creates access and opportunity in a growing industry.
We provide access to safe, legal cannabis while focusing on education and career training.
Every product we carry is lab-tested, regulated, and selected based on customer demand. Our team is here to make the process clear, comfortable, and informed.
From hosting in-store events and comedy shows to opening our Legacy Club space for gatherings, we create opportunities for people to connect.
As one of the first licensed recreational dispensaries in the state—and the first Black-owned—we represent what it means to turn change into opportunity.
Merging the emerging cannabis market with hip-hop culture, we offer an immersive experience that's both fresh and deeply connected to NYC's pulse.
Smacked Village starts with Roland Conner—a New Yorker whose journey inspired a vision to create new opportunities in the cannabis industry.
Growing up in Far Rockaway, Queens, Roland saw firsthand how communities like his were impacted by cannabis laws before legalization created new possibilities. That experience shaped his perspective and decision to be part of building something different.
When New York legalized cannabis, Roland saw an opportunity to help define what legal cannabis could look like in the city.
As one of the first licensed recreational dispensary operators in New York, Smacked Village represents a greater shift in real time.
“From the beginning, the goal wasn’t just access. It was to create something that felt connected to the people it serves.”
Smacked Village was built as a family operation from day one.
Roland, Patricia, and Darius Conner along with our staff have created a space where connection matters.
From the energy in our shop to to the events we host, you can instantly tell why Smacked is different from other NYC dispensaries.
As the first legal cannabis dispensary in Greenwich Village, we provide safe, regulated access to cannabis through in-store shopping and delivery.
We keep our doors open every day of the week with late night hours so you can shop when it works for you.
Beyond cannabis, we’ve created space for the community to come together.
Through our private Legacy Club event space, we host comedy shows and community events. We also open it up for private gatherings, giving people a place to connect in the neighborhood.
Everything we bring to Greenwich Village is built around access, convenience, and community—because a dispensary here should be more than just a place to buy cannabis.
From the beginning, we wanted to create more than a retail space.
In a neighborhood like Greenwich Village, where culture, nightlife, and creativity are part of everyday life, hosting events just makes sense.
Through comedy shows, mixers, and community gatherings in our Legacy Club space, we create opportunities for people to connect in a way that goes beyond a transaction.
It’s also part of how we help normalize legal cannabis in New York—by making it social, open, and integrated into the culture of the city.
For us, events are how we build real community.
Our mission is to create a space that provides safe and trusted access to cannabis products and information.
That means providing legal, lab-tested cannabis in a way that feels welcoming and easy to embrace. It also means creating opportunity through education, career pathways, and the work we do with the Smacked Foundation.
We believe legalization should do more than open doors to products. It should open doors for people.
Everything we build, from our storefront on Bleecker Street to the events we host and the community we support, is rooted in that idea.
