Independent cannabis journalism for New York City — culture, sports, community, and the market, covered straight.
Advertising Partnership Overview
NYC Weed News is an editorially independent publication covering New York City's legal cannabis market. This rate card outlines current advertising placements available to licensed dispensary partners — digital, editorial, and short-form video.
We hold the legal market accountable while supporting the operators building it right — which is exactly why readers, and the shops we cover, trust what runs on the site.

PLATFORM NOTE — TikTok does not permit paid cannabis advertising. Organic editorial coverage from an established local publication is one of the only ways for a licensed operator to reach that audience at all.
