A Dispensary Where Everybody Knows Your Strain

New Hempstead is a small village just a few miles down Route 202 from our Airmont storefront, and that same close-knit feel carries over the moment you walk into Rockland Cannabis. We're not trying to be the biggest name in Rockland County; we'd rather be the one that remembers your name and your preferences. And that's exactly what draws people who are searching for a dispensary near New Hempstead that offers something more personal than any corporate chain-store ever can.

To add to that familiarity, our staff hasn't turned over since the day we opened, so you're never explaining what kind of cannabis experience you want to someone new. Decisions about what goes on our shelves and our menu happen as a group, with input from everyone behind the counter. Regulars notice that continuity, and it's a big part of why a New Hempstead dispensary run this way tends to earn so many repeat visits.

Maybe you're stopping in after a morning walk through the village, or maybe cannabis shopping just fits somewhere into your evening plans. Either way, we've built this place so a visit never feels like a chore or a detour; it’s just a quick, easy stop on the way to wherever you're headed.

We also stay involved with Rockland County throughout the year. Our summer concert series gives local vendors a chance to set up nearby, and we team up regularly with other area businesses on cross-promotions. Choosing us means supporting a community we're part of, not just a business.

What’s On the Shelves

Nobody wants to take a chance on what they're buying, and that's the whole reason our selection works the way it does. Every product on our shelves goes through a review process built on quality, transparency, and hands-on testing by our own team. Local and smaller brands get the same fair shot as the bigger names, since we'd rather stock what's actually good than what's easiest to get. 

On our shelves:

  • Flower — a range of profiles, so there's something for a heavy hitter or a lighter night in
  • Pre-Rolls — convenient 1g singles, grab-and-go ready
  • Edibles — packaged favorites like Wyld
  • Vapes & Concentrates — Doobie Labs, Roemer Farms, Pearls by Gron, Fyre, Papa & Barkley, and Soft Power Sweets
  • CBD — High Falls and Kush Queen, for anyone who wants a lighter option

Make a Day of It: New Hempstead, NY

The quiet Village of New Hempstead is a neighbor to New City, where restaurants, breweries, and even a slice of local fire service history are all within easy reach. The mix runs from a stocked fishing pond to a decades-old diner, so there's something for everyone here beyond just food and drinks. Any of these local favorites make an easy pairing with a stop at our dispensary near New Hempstead. 

Mountainview Nature Park

This 83-acre wooded tract delivers two standout views, one east and one west, both framed by the Tappan Zee Bridge and the New York State Thruway cut below. The main trail winds past Bear Swamp, a wetland pocket known for drawing red-tailed hawks, barred owls, and the occasional wild turkey, and leashed dogs are welcome throughout. 

Norcina 

Two Rockland County locals teamed up with a New York City chef to open Norcina in 2018, and the from-scratch kitchen still turns out fresh pasta and mozzarella made daily. The horseshoe bar and lounge area comes equipped with a dozen big-screen TVs, so it works just as well for catching a game as it does for a sit-down Italian dinner. 

District 96 Beer Factory 

This nearby New City brewery has been pouring its own recipes since opening in the summer of 2017, right next door to the Burger Loft on South Main Street. The open, easygoing taproom leans into collaboration brews and rotating small-batch releases, and cans are available to go if you'd rather bring the beer home. 

City Line Family Restaurant

Owner Manny Acosta built this diner from the ground up, working his way from busboy to owner after emigrating from El Salvador in the 1980s. The dining room seats 275 and runs a full bar alongside an extensive breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu, so there's rarely a bad time to swing by. Regulars keep coming back for the consistency, and Manny's still often the one greeting people at the door. 

Sandy Brook Park

Tucked along Sandy Brook Drive, this small neighborhood park centers around a stocked pond that draws anglers looking for an easy, low-key spot to cast a line. Walking paths wind around the water, and the setting stays quiet enough that it rarely feels crowded, even on a beautiful day. 

Rockland County Volunteer Fire Services Museum 

Housed inside the Rockland County Fire Training Center in Pomona, this museum preserves antique apparatus and equipment tied to the county's volunteer fire companies, including gear from Orangetown Fire Co. No. 1, organized back in 1834 as Rockland's oldest volunteer company.
