What to Bring
The only thing you need is a valid government-issued photo ID proving you are 21 or older. Accepted IDs include a US driver's license, US passport, US military ID, or out-of-state driver's license. You do not need a medical card, appointment, or membership. Leafology accepts cash and debit card, and an ATM is available on site.
Free budtender consultations are available every day at our White Plains location. Our Cannabis Ganjier can provide personalized guidance based on your experience level and preferences.
What Happens When You Walk In
When you arrive at Leafology at 244 Main Street in White Plains, you will be greeted at the entrance and asked to present your ID for age verification. Once verified, you are free to browse the display cases and product menu. A budtender will be available to answer questions, explain products, and make recommendations. There is no pressure to buy, and consultations are completely free.
How to Talk to a Budtender
Budtenders are cannabis experts trained to help you find the right product. You do not need to know anything about cannabis to have a great conversation. Helpful things to share: whether you have used cannabis before, what effects you are looking for (relaxation, energy, sleep, social), whether you prefer smoking, vaping, or edibles, and your budget. Our Cannabis Ganjier can provide even deeper guidance on strain selection and terpene profiles.
Choosing Your First Product
For first-time consumers, our budtenders typically recommend starting with a low-THC flower (15-20% THC), a mild edible (2.5-5mg THC per serving), or a balanced THC/CBD product. Pre-rolls are convenient for trying flower without buying a larger quantity. The key principle is start low, go slow. You can always come back for something stronger once you understand how cannabis affects you personally.
After Your Purchase
Your cannabis is packaged in compliant, child-resistant packaging with clear labeling showing THC/CBD content, terpene information, and producer details. Store cannabis in a cool, dark, dry place away from children and pets. New York law allows possession of up to 3 ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrate. Cannabis may be consumed in private residences and most tobacco-permitted areas.
Exactly What Happens When You Walk In
You will walk up to 244 Main Street, Suite 1, White Plains, NY 10601 and see Leafology's large glass storefront. A greeter or doorperson will verify your 21+ ID at the entrance. Once verified you enter the retail floor, a warm, bright space with display cases running the perimeter and digital menu screens overhead. A budtender will welcome you and offer help. You are welcome to browse silently, to ask every question you can think of, or to be walked through the whole menu. There is no minimum purchase, no pressure, no hidden fees, and no rushed transactions.
How to Talk to a Budtender (What to Say)
The most useful three sentences to open with: (1) I have/have not used cannabis before. (2) I want to feel [relaxed/energized/focused/sleepy/less anxious/less sore]. (3) I want to [smoke/vape/eat/sip/rub on]. From that, any Leafology budtender can narrow the menu to two or three specific products in under a minute. Add your price range and any THC ceiling (for example, “nothing above 20%”) to get even tighter recommendations. Our Cannabis Ganjier is available for deeper consultations on terpenes, cultivar lineage, and craft flower at no extra cost.
Purchase Limits and What the Receipt Looks Like
Every Leafology purchase is scanned into the New York State seed-to-sale tracking system (BioTrack/METRC). Your receipt will show the OCM license, the batch/lot number of each product, the total cannabinoids, and the NY 13% excise tax plus any local tax. You may purchase up to 3 oz of flower or 24 g of concentrate per person per transaction. All products leave in child-resistant, opaque, exit bags with appropriate labeling.
Discounts You Can Stack on Your First Visit
Leafology offers a free High Rollers Club loyalty program (Bud Bucks on every purchase), a 15% Leafwell medical discount for certified patients, a senior discount for customers 65 and older, and a price match guarantee on all flower against any licensed Westchester competitor. First-time customers frequently qualify for a specific welcome deal on menu that our budtenders will surface automatically at checkout.
After You Buy: Storage, Consumption, and Law
Take your cannabis directly home. Do not consume in your vehicle. Do not consume on the sidewalk outside the dispensary. Once home, store in its original child-resistant packaging, in a cool dark cabinet, out of reach of children and pets. Consume only in private (legal consumption spaces and approved on-site lounges are not yet widely licensed in New York). Never cross state lines with cannabis.

Walk in during open hours
Leafology is open Mon-Sat 8 AM - 10 PM | Sun 8 AM - 8 PM. Park on Main Street or in a municipal garage, or take Metro-North Harlem Line and walk five minutes. No appointment needed.

Hand your ID to the door or reception associate. They will verify age, hand it back, and welcome you into the retail floor. This typically takes 15 seconds.

Browse the menu or display case
Walk the display cases at your own pace. Leafology displays flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, and concentrates with live pricing and cultivar names. Digital menus and printed menus are available at the counter.

Ask a budtender for a free consultation
Tell the budtender three things: any previous cannabis experience, the effect you want (energy, calm, sleep, focus, pain relief), and your format preference (smoke, vape, eat, sip, topical). The Ganjier or budtender will narrow you to 2-3 products in 2 minutes.

Place your order at the register
