Peekskill Cannabis Guide: Dispensaries, Laws & What to Know

Everything a Peekskill resident or Hudson Valley visitor should know before buying legal cannabis in New York — where to shop, what you can carry, and how a first dispensary visit actually works.

Where to buy cannabis in Peekskill

Peekskill sits in northern Westchester County, and as of 2026 the city has a small number of NYS Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) licensed adult-use dispensaries. Piffords Inc. is the licensed recreational dispensary at 500 Highland Avenue, Peekskill, NY 10566 (license OCM-CAURD-25-000246). Only businesses on the OCM license lookup can legally sell cannabis in New York — everyone else is an unlicensed gray-market seller and their product is not lab-tested.

New York cannabis laws (quick version)

  • Age: 21+ with a valid government-issued photo ID.
  • Possession limit: Up to 3 ounces of cannabis flower and up to 24 grams of concentrate on your person.
  • At home: Up to 5 pounds may be stored in a private residence.
  • Public use: Cannabis may be smoked or vaped anywhere tobacco smoking is allowed — but not in cars, schools, workplaces, or federal land.
  • Driving: Driving under the influence of cannabis is illegal. Keep sealed product in the trunk.
  • Home grow: Adults 21+ may cultivate up to 3 mature and 3 immature plants per person (max 6 mature per household).

This is a plain-English summary, not legal advice. Full statute: NYS Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA).

What you can buy at a licensed dispensary

NYS-licensed shops carry lab-tested products in five main categories:

  • Flower — pre-packaged eighths, quarters, ounces.
  • Pre-rolls — single joints, packs, infused rolls.
  • Vapes — 510-thread cartridges and all-in-one disposables.
  • Edibles — gummies, chocolates, beverages (10 mg THC per serving cap in NY).
  • Concentrates — live rosin, hash, distillate, RSO.

Every legal product carries a QR code linking to a Certificate of Analysis (COA) from a state-approved lab. If a seller can't show one, they aren't licensed.

First visit: what to expect

  1. Bring a valid 21+ ID. You'll be checked at the door.
  2. Browse the menu — most shops (including Piffords) let you browse online first: see the live menu.
  3. Ask the budtender for guidance on effect (uplifting, calm, sleep) rather than strain names.
  4. Payment: cash only at most NYS dispensaries, including Piffords. There's usually an ATM on-site.
  5. Add-on 13% NYS cannabis excise tax (9% state + 4% local).

Hours & pickup

Piffords is open daily, 9 AM – 10 PM. Same-day pickup is available on every menu item — order online and we'll have it bagged at the counter, usually within 15 minutes.
