As New York State’s cannabis industry grows, consumers have more choices than ever. But with those choices comes a responsibility: to support licensed, local dispensaries like Air City Cannabis in Utica. Choosing to shop locally isn’t just about convenience—it makes a meaningful impact on your community, your safety, and the future of cannabis in New York.

Supporting Your Community

Every dollar spent at a licensed NYS dispensary stays within the state. That means:

• Creating local jobs

• Funding local education, infrastructure, and public health through tax revenue

• Strengthening small businesses and entrepreneurs

By shopping at Air City Cannabis, you're helping build a stronger Utica and supporting the local economy in a tangible way.

Ensuring Product Safety and Quality

Licensed dispensaries are required to follow strict guidelines set by New York State. This includes:

• Lab testing for potency, contaminants, and quality

• Clear labeling and accurate dosing

• Secure and regulated supply chains

When you buy from a licensed dispensary, you know exactly what you’re consuming. It’s peace of mind that unregulated sources simply can’t offer.

Fighting the Illicit Market

Purchasing from unlicensed sellers undercuts the legal market and slows progress for cannabis reform. When you shop at regulated dispensaries:

• You help protect consumer rights

• You contribute to a fair, transparent marketplace

• You help NYS enforce responsible cannabis use
