"New York's legal cannabis market continues to expand, offering thousands of options across the state for both medical and adult-use consumers. Many former service members turn to cannabis as a tool for managing sleep disorders, chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, and other health concerns that often emerge from years of military service. While federal policy remains restrictive, New York dispensaries have taken steps to make cannabis more accessible to veterans by offering exclusive discounts."
"As of August 2025, approximately 563,400 veterans live in New York, accounting for about 3.6% of the state's adult population. Despite being home to one of the largest overall veteran communities in the country, New York ranks 51st in veteran population per capita among U.S. states and territories. This statistic underscores the importance of ensuring that those who have served have meaningful access to benefits, resources, and wellness support-including fairer pricing on cannabis products."
