The honest position
Both channels are legitimate. Here is how we fit.
Leafology is a licensed adult use dispensary, not a registered medical dispensing facility. Medical program products and the program's own purchase rules live at OCM registered medical dispensaries, and patients whose care needs them should use them.
What Leafology offers certified patients is the adult use side done well: 150 plus New York craft brands, a certified Cannabis Ganjier for education, seven day hours in downtown White Plains, same day county wide delivery, and the patient discount on every purchase.
