As of August 2025, approximately 563,400 veterans were living in New York. That figure accounts for 3.6% of the state's adult population and places New York 51st among U.S. states and territories in terms of veteran population per capita. While that statistic might suggest a smaller community in proportion to other states, the reality is that hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers have served-and many of them rely on cannabis to support their health and quality of life.
