Green Wednesday & Black Friday 2026 in NYC: Cannabis Deals, Dates & Shopping Tips

What Is Green Wednesday?

Green Wednesday is the cannabis industry's name for the day before Thanksgiving. Many people are off work the next day, friends and family are coming into town, and plenty of adults pick up cannabis for the long weekend.

The numbers back it up. Sales data from Headset showed Green Wednesday sales running 52% above an average Wednesday in 2023, up from 33% in 2021. Weedmaps order data for the same year, reported by Ganjapreneur, found Green Wednesday outsold Black Friday, with order volume up 42% and edibles orders up 81% compared with an average November Wednesday.

In short, it's the start of the holiday shopping season for cannabis, a few days before the rest of retail catches up on Black Friday.

How to Shop Green Wednesday Without the Wait

Green Wednesday has historically been one of the busiest days of the year at dispensaries. A few things make it easier:

1. Browse the menu the night before. Our live menu shows what's in stock and current prices, so you can decide before you arrive.
2. Order ahead for pickup. Place your order online, then come to 259 Bowery to pick it up. It's the fastest way through the store on a busy day.
3. Order delivery early. We deliver same-day across Manhattan up to 110th Street, with a $50 minimum and no delivery fee. Holiday-week traffic and street closures can slow drivers down, so order earlier in the day rather than at dinnertime. See our delivery page for details.
4. Come early in the day. Stores tend to get busier later in the day, when people head home for the holiday.
5. Bring a valid ID. Everyone needs a government-issued photo ID showing they're 21 or older, in store and at the door for delivery.

How to Get the Most From a Holiday Deal

A discount is only a good deal if it's on something you'd actually buy. A few simple checks help:

• Compare price per gram, not the sticker price. A bigger pack or bag with a smaller discount can still cost less per gram than a single item at a bigger discount. Our guide to pre-rolls vs flower shows how price per gram changes by format and size.
• Remember the tax. New York applies a 13% retail cannabis tax. Check whether the displayed price includes tax, and compare the final checkout total when weighing holiday promotions.
• Check the dose, not just the price. For edibles and drinks, look at the THC per piece or per can. Our guides to low-dose THC edibles and low-dose THC drinks explain what 2.5mg, 5mg and 10mg mean in practice.
• Know the limits. New York lets adults 21 and over possess up to 3 ounces of cannabis and up to 24 grams of concentrated cannabis. Dispensaries won't complete a sale that would take you over those limits.
• Check the label. Every licensed product carries a scannable code that links to its lab results. Our label guide shows what to look for.

What People Buy for the Holiday Weekend

Thanksgiving weekend often means gatherings, travel and long days with family. That shapes what many adults reach for:

• Low-dose edibles and THC drinks. Edibles saw some of the biggest jumps on Green Wednesday in past years. Low-dose options are easier to pace over a long evening and are smoke-free. Browse our edibles or see our roundup of the best edibles in NYC.
• Pre-roll packs. Convenient if you'll be out or don't want to bring a grinder. Our list of the best pre-rolls in NYC is a good starting point.
• Vapes. Discreet and easy to carry. If you need hardware, our 510 battery guide covers how to choose one.
• Accessories and gifts. Grinders, papers and design pieces from brands like Edie Parker make good gifts for adult friends who already enjoy cannabis.

If you're visiting family, think about where you'll be. Keep cannabis locked away from children and pets, don't drive after using it, and remember that New York City bans smoking in its parks. Our guide to where you can smoke weed in NYC covers the rules.

Can You Give Cannabis as a Gift in New York?

Yes, between adults. New York law allows adults 21 and over to give cannabis to another adult 21 or older, as long as no payment is involved and the amount stays within the possession limits. Gifting to anyone under 21 is illegal.

Delivery is different: cannabis deliveries must be received by the person who placed the order, with a valid ID checked at the door. You can't order delivery straight to someone else as a gift.
