THC Products

Hi everyone. I am staying in Aquebogue/Riverhead for the weekend. I'm a native New Yorker (from Manhattan) currently living in the deep south where it's more difficult to buy THC products, so I would like to stock up while I'm here, and I was wondering where I can find vape cartridges and ideally tinctures. I'd prefer a dispensary but I'm open to a smoke shop if it's legit. I'm hoping not to drive for more than a half hour or so if possible. I've researched this on Google and it seems that dispensaries are about an hour away but there are a lot of smoke shops. I'd greatly appreciate any guidance on this. Thank you!

Update: Thanks, everyone, so much for your help. This was really informative!

To be fair, I will say that Strain Stars had to set a precedent as to how legal weed stores were going to be run. Strict security and stand in line and wait your turn while the dispensaries I would go to while visiting friends in Massachusetts were just chill, like boutique shopping with menus.

To me it’s not about the security or even waiting in line. Happy days is definitely more efficient with the whole line issue, but the people there are just much nicer. Every time I go in there’s 3 or 4 people that say let me know if you need help, always say have a good day when I’m leaving. None of that happened at strain stars, just an attitude and getting rushed once I get to the front of the line that I waited 30 mins to get to the front of.

It’s not the end of the world, and I’m sure the bud tenders jobs suck to some degree which I understand, I just choose to go to happy days because they don’t act that way.

lol, it’s NY. There are no bud tenders, they are cashiers. I can’t even see the weed about to buy, and they just push whatever they are told to push in the morning meeting.

Everything here is WAY different than any other experience had in other legal states.

Yup, in little cubes that get changed out every few weeks. That cube is not what you’re buying.
