How to choose the right cannabis strains for sales comes down to knowing what your customers actually want. Not what you think they want. Not what's trending on Instagram. What they're willing to pull out their wallets for. Your strain selection directly impacts everything. Customer loyalty, profit margins, repeat visits. Get it wrong and you're stuck with inventory that won't move. Get it right and customers become regulars who bring their friends.

I like to build culture, to build things, and the money, fortunately, comes as a byproduct of that. And the money is coming. While statewide cannabis sales decreased by over 12% last year and first quarter taxable sales hit a five-year low in 2025, Goldenhour's Weed location is on track to reach $1.5 million in sales this year. That is up from $230,000 in 2023. It helps that the company's CEO is an industry veteran.

The Bronx has quickly become one of the most exciting places in New York to shop for legal weed, and dispensaries across the borough are stepping up to attract and retain loyal customers. With high state taxes, steep lease costs, and thin margins, most licensed shops can't slash prices dramatically, but they are finding creative ways to reward their regulars. Customers can expect a variety of deals-typically ranging from 5% to 10% off-designed to make every visit more rewarding.

Good Life Collective, located at 155 Monroe Ave, has quickly become one of the city's premier licensed dispensaries, offering a curated menu that blends variety, quality, and community spirit.

Located at 12193 US-9W, Coxsackie, NY 12192 (Phone: 518-906-2772), THTree Dispensary has quickly become a trusted cannabis hub in the Hudson Valley. Owned and operated by two women from Greene County, THTree was built on the idea that cannabis should be affordable, accessible, and community-centered. Their locally-owned and women-led operation focuses on education, connection, and customer care, providing a space where both first-time visitors and experienced consumers can feel comfortable exploring the legal New York cannabis market.
