Brooklyn's legal cannabis map no longer fits on one hand. The state's Current OCM Licenses dataset (updated October 7, 2026) lists about 85 licensed storefronts in the borough as operational, out of roughly 690 open statewide, which puts Brooklyn second only to Manhattan among the five boroughs. Most of those shops are conditional adult-use retail dispensaries (CAURDs), the equity licenses New York reserved for people with past cannabis convictions and their families, alongside a growing number of standard adult-use retail licenses. The past year also brought expansion from operators already on this list: Hii NYC added Bay Ridge in April 2026, Jungle Kingdom Flower opened an East Williamsburg sibling in June, and Quality Control branched out to Staten Island in January.
What follows is organized by part of the borough, then by what each shop does best, so you can pick something close to where your day already takes you.
How we chose: These are research-based picks, not paid placements, and no shop paid to appear. Every store below holds a New York license we checked against state records, and our notes come from those records, the shops' own sites and menus, and public reviews and press coverage. High Today staff did not visit these stores for this guide. Hours, menus and delivery terms change often, so confirm with the shop before you go, and check any storefront on the state's OCM verification tool or our directory of licensed dispensaries.
Williamsburg and North Brooklyn
Hii NYC
Hii NYC opened at 152 Bedford Ave, a couple of blocks from the Bedford Av L stop, in April 2024 as Williamsburg's first licensed adult-use shop, and owner Peter Beznos now runs a second CAURD store at 9206 3rd Ave in Bay Ridge, near the R. The shelves lean on New York microbusinesses, and product cards show the producer's license number, a nice touch for craft-cannabis shoppers. It is the borough's best bet for late nights: Williamsburg stays open until midnight Sunday through Wednesday and until 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday, while Bay Ridge closes at 11 p.m. or midnight. Same-day delivery reaches eight Brooklyn ZIP codes. Read our full profile
Twisted Vibration
This family-owned CAURD shop (OCM-CAURD-24-000191) sits at 301 Broadway on the Southside, right under the J/M/Z tracks at Marcy Avenue, and has been selling since October 2024. It doubles as a small community venue, with local art on the walls plus comedy nights and brand pop-ups, and its Dutchie-powered menu handles both in-store pickup and same-day delivery, which reviewers often single out for speed. Note the later start: doors open at 11 a.m., closing at 9 p.m. on weekdays, 10 p.m. Saturday and 7 p.m. Sunday. Read our full profile
Bed-Stuy
Jungle Kingdom Flower
Founder Junaid Zahid, a Baruch-trained finance grad who came to New York from Pakistan, runs two stores: a Bed-Stuy flagship at 515 Nostrand Ave (adult-use retail license OCM-RETL-24-000088) and an East Williamsburg location at 1055 Flushing Ave (CAURD OCM-CAURD-26-000349). The menu is built around well-known names such as Jeeter, Kiva, MFNY, Old Pal and Ayrloom, with tax already folded into posted prices. Its strongest card is delivery: same-day, anywhere in Brooklyn, no fee over a $50 minimum, paid online by debit. Both stores keep 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. hours, running to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Read our full profile
Bedford Club
Bedford Club is a single brick-walled CAURD storefront (OCM-CAURD-23-000095) at 1102 Bedford Ave, a few blocks from the G at Bedford–Nostrand Avs, and one of Bed-Stuy's earliest legal shops. It suits locals who want a small neighborhood counter, but most of its Brooklyn-wide reach now comes through delivery, with minimums that scale from $60 to $300 by distance, free delivery at $120 and up, and a free-delivery offer on first orders. Expect familiar shelf names such as Jaunty, 1906, Rove, Wyld and Florist Farms. Listed hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with midnight closes on Fridays and Saturdays. Read our full profile
Flatbush
BK Exotic
Directly across Flatbush Avenue from the Kings Theatre, at No. 1056, BK Exotic is a family-run CAURD shop (OCM-CAURD-24-000048) owned by husband and wife Robert Dorsey and Angeline Cornelia, who reopened legally in January 2024 after weathering the state's 2023 licensing freeze. The former phone store is now covered in Brooklyn murals by Shaun Lee, with a music wall and Biggie imagery, so it is as much a borough statement as a store. It is a natural stop before or after a show; hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and until 7 p.m. Sunday. Read our full profile
Brooklyn Bourne
Ty Bourne, a Brooklyn native who was stopped and frisked as a teenager, and his wife, Kim Green, opened this fully Black-owned CAURD dispensary at 2225 Church Ave in September 2024 with support from the state's Cannabis Social Equity Investment Fund. The aim is a polished, upscale room in the middle of central Flatbush. It is the early bird's pick in this part of Brooklyn, opening at 8 a.m. Monday through Friday and staying open until 10 or 11 p.m. most nights; a VIP loyalty program is still in development.

South and East Brooklyn
Quality Control Dispensary
Quality Control opened at 3169 Coney Island Ave in Brighton Beach, near the B/Q Brighton Beach station, in April 2025 under adult-use retail license OCM-RETL-24-000144. Its founder spent years in South Brooklyn's legacy market and now pulls anything that fails his own smoke, vape or edible tests, so flower and pre-roll shoppers get a tightly edited menu with tax-included prices. Hours are long, from 8 or 9 a.m. until 11 p.m. or midnight, and delivery covers all of Brooklyn and Staten Island with a $50 minimum. A second store opened at 1172 Victory Blvd on Staten Island in January 2026. Read our full profile
Bud City
Bud City (OCM-RETL-24-000063) is one of the few legal storefronts on Brooklyn's far eastern edge, at 3343 Fulton St under the elevated J/Z near the Crescent Street station, between Highland Park and City Line. The state lists the business as minority- and women-owned, and it opened in March 2025. Listings show 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, cash and debit, and order-ahead pickup but no delivery. Its website was returning errors in October 2026, so call (347) 365-4721 to check the menu, especially if you are coming for edibles. Read our full profile

What to know before you go
You must be 21 or older with valid government-issued photo ID, and you will be carded at the door. Payment rules differ by shop: Bud City is listed as cash and debit, and Jungle Kingdom's delivery is debit-only, paid online, so carry a backup method. Adults 21 and older can possess up to three ounces of cannabis flower and 24 grams of concentrate in New York. Consumption is generally allowed where tobacco smoking is, but never in a vehicle, and city rules ban smoking in parks and on beaches, so plan to enjoy your purchase at home.
Some storefronts in Brooklyn still sell cannabis without a license. A legal shop displays the state's OCM verification sticker with a QR code near the entrance; scan it, or look the address up before you buy. To compare prices across licensed shops before you head out, check today's deals.

The bottom line
There is no single cannabis strip in Brooklyn, and that is the point. Williamsburg has the late hours, Bed-Stuy has the strongest delivery options, Flatbush has two of the borough's most personal equity-owned shops, and the southern and eastern edges have dependable local counters. Choose the licensed store nearest your plans, verify before you buy and confirm hours ahead.
