Your licensed dispensary in Tompkins County
We opened in May 2024 as the first licensed cannabis store in the Town of Dryden and the third in Tompkins County. Two months later, on July 8, 2024, we became the first dispensary in New York State to hand a prepaid recreational order to a driver through a drive-thru window.
We are an independent, local shop on Route 13 between Ithaca and Cortland, and a Finger Lakes Best winner, 2024 and 2025. From Ithaca, Lansing and Groton the drive is about ten minutes; from Trumansburg, Newfield, Danby, Caroline or Enfield, head for Ithaca and take Route 13 north to our door.
Cornell, Ithaca College and TC3
Anyone 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID can shop with us — no medical card and no New York residency needed, so students from out of state are welcome once they are 21. TCAT Route 43 runs seven days a week along Route 13 and stops right at our corner; the same route serves TC3.
Never drive impaired, and do not use cannabis in a vehicle. Whatever you buy has to stay in New York.
