Upper West Side Dispensary Highlights Seasonal Cannabis Selections

As New York’s legal cannabis market matures, local business owners are increasingly sharing curated recommendations for seasonal use. Angelo Kitkas, proprietor of Flower Power Dispensary—noted as the Upper West Side’s inaugural licensed cannabis retailer—recently released a list of product suggestions intended for summer leisure.

Kitkas highlighted three specific items currently available at his shop, framing them as suitable options for outdoor activities ranging from park visits to evening social gatherings. The recommendations include 518 Hollow’s "Cap Junkie," a balanced hybrid flower described as having diesel and pine aromatic profiles. For those seeking pre-rolled options, the list features Sticky’s Weed Farm’s "Granddaddy Purple," an indica-dominant strain, and SuperNaturals’ "Durban Poison," a sativa-dominant product marketed toward those looking for an energetic experience during summer nightlife.

These suggestions come as the city sees a growing number of licensed dispensaries operating within residential neighborhoods. While the products are presented as tools for relaxation, consumers are reminded that the effects of cannabis can vary significantly by individual.

Flower Power Dispensary, which operates under state-sanctioned licensing, serves as a focal point for this local retail trend. As the industry continues to integrate into the Upper West Side business landscape, establishments like Kitkas’s are positioning themselves as community resources for product education and selection. Residents interested in these offerings are encouraged to visit licensed retailers to ensure compliance with state regulations and to verify product quality.
