As of early to mid-2025, estimates place the number of veterans living in New York State between 563,400 and 580,000. Some reports from slightly earlier years cite higher figures, approaching 675,000. Regardless of the exact number, one fact is clear: New York is home to one of the largest veteran communities in the country, representing decades of service, sacrifice, and resilience.

This population now has greater access to the state’s growing legal cannabis market—and importantly, many dispensaries are beginning to recognize the importance of honoring veterans with meaningful discounts. For those who served, this is more than just savings; it is a way to connect with products made by fellow veterans, fostering a cycle of support within their own community.
