Westchester County, NY Dispensaries by Town: Which Towns Allow Them (2026)

Quick answer: Cannabis is legal for adults 21 and over everywhere in Westchester County. What changes from town to town is whether a dispensary may open. The cities of White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon and Peekskill allow them. Scarsdale, Bronxville, Rye, Harrison, Eastchester and most of northern Westchester opted out.

What opting out means, and what it does not

New York let cities, towns and villages opt out of two things only: retail dispensaries and on-site consumption lounges. The deadline was December 31, 2021. A municipality that opted out can opt back in at any time by repealing its local law. Each village decides for itself, separately from the town around it. Opting out does not make cannabis illegal in that town. Source: NYS Office of Cannabis Management.

If my town opted out, what can I legally do?

Adults 21 and over may possess up to three ounces of cannabis flower and 24 grams of concentrate in every Westchester municipality, and may shop at a licensed dispensary in any town or village that allows them. Opting out bans stores and consumption lounges only. It does not ban delivery: the state allows delivery to homes and private businesses anywhere in New York, which is why we deliver same-day to every town in the table above. For the statewide rules, see our New York cannabis laws guide.

Delivery rules that apply everywhere in New York

Under the state’s consumer delivery FAQ, you must be 21 or older, and the driver checks ID again at the door. Orders are prepaid, and cash is not accepted on delivery. Delivery goes to homes and private businesses only, never to parks, schools, day-care centers, houses of worship, public buildings or vehicles. Delivery runs only during the dispensary’s opening hours.

How to check that a store is licensed

Look for the state verification placard with a QR code at the entrance, or search the state’s dispensary verification list. Our guide to licensed dispensaries versus smoke shops walks through every check.

Where the tax money goes

Retail sales carry a 4% local excise tax. The host city, town or village receives 75% of it and the county 25%. Municipalities that opted out receive none. Source: NYS Office of Cannabis Management.
