From sippable seltzers to decadent desserts, there are so many kinds of edibles available to New Yorkers. With nearly endless options, it can take time and feel overwhelming trying to choose which products are right for you and your needs. Luckily, we’re here to help.
Whether you’re a connoisseur or just starting to get curious about cannabis, we’ve compiled this go-to guide to help you shop smarter for edibles in NYC. Let’s get cooking.
Why consume cannabis edibles?
Edibles can be an easy, convenient, and delicious form of cannabis consumption! They don’t smell, don’t require any smoking accessories like a grinder or rolling papers, and don’t produce any messy ash. This means you can quickly grab a pack of gummies to throw in your tote bag as you trek around the city, or discreetly take a few sips of an infused seltzer at a social event on the rooftop.
Essentially, they’re ideal for consumers who are looking for a simplified on-the-go high, who prefer not to inhale smoke, or who may want a longer-lasting high. Whatever your personal reasons for consuming edibles may be, they’ve become an incredibly popular consumption method throughout New York dispensaries. Here at NICKLZ, our edibles menu features a ton of options from top brands that are both tested for safety and tasty for your enjoyment!

How to choose edibles in NYC
With so many edibles available in a new and emerging adult-use market, it can be difficult to choose options from dispensary shelves, especially for first-time users. If you find yourself staring at the menu feeling overwhelmed, you can start narrowing down your options by asking yourself these 5 questions:
What feeling or experience do I want to achieve? Our menu labels all products by effects so you can quickly select products based on your desired effect — for example, energetic, focused, or calm.
Would I like CBD and other cannabinoids to be included? Our menu also includes cannabinoid data so you can identify if products contain additional cannabinoids such as CBN for sleep or CBD for pain relief.
What is my tolerance level? It’s important to keep in mind that a person’s inhalation tolerance is not the same as an ingestible tolerance with edibles. Whether you’re totally new to edibles or a seasoned consumer trying a new brand or product for the first time, always start low and go slow.
When do I want to feel the effects? The particular type of edible can affect the timing and potency of the dose ingested. For example, infused beverages and fast-acting gummies will hit the system faster than a baked good that needs to be digested and may take 40 minutes to two hours to fully kick in.
Is this dispensary licensed and are these products tested? When you’re looking for edibles in NYC, you want to ensure you’re shopping for a licensed dispensary carrying products that have been properly tested according to state guidelines. We are a fully state-licensed and compliant shop carrying top brands that are aligned with New York cannabis testing regulations.
