- "Edibles" is a category, not a product. On our shelf it splits into five everyday shapes: gummies, dissolvable tablets (Level ProTab), chocolates, dose-in-a-pouch tins (KushN), and baked snacks (Space Poppers). They differ mostly in how discreet, how precise, and how snackable they are.
- Want the friendliest, most familiar? Gummies — brands like Generic AF, NYCE, MFNY, Mac Pharms, and Flav — come in labeled fruit-flavored pieces, so a serving is decided for you.
- Want the most precise and low-key? Level ProTab tablets are small, sugar-free and splittable, so you can take an exact, measured amount and stop there. KushN pouches tuck a serving into a tin that looks like nothing in a bag.
- Want a treat instead of candy? Cannabals chocolates and Space Poppers baked snacks (churros, kettle-style bites) scratch the dessert-or-savory itch. Every one of these is a labeled New York product — browse the live menu, 21+, stock changes daily.
"I'll take an edible" is a bit like saying "I'll take a coffee" — technically clear, but there's a whole counter of choices behind it. An edible can be a chewy fruit gummy, a tiny sugar-free tablet you swallow like a mint, a square of chocolate, a discreet pouch in a tin, or an actual baked snack. They all get cannabis into you the same basic way, but they feel completely different to buy, carry, and enjoy.
This guide is a walk down our edibles shelf by format — not by potency, and not by any promise about how you'll feel. The goal is simple: by the end you'll know which shape of edible matches how you like to shop, so you can walk in already knowing what to ask for. We'll keep pointing you at the live menu because specific products rotate, but the formats below are the ones we carry as a rule.
So what actually counts as an edible?
An edible is anything cannabis-infused that you eat or, in the case of a tablet, swallow. That's the common thread: it goes through your stomach rather than your lungs. In New York, everything in this category is sold as a labeled, lab-tested product, and the state caps ingestible edibles at 10mg of THC per serving and 100mg per package — so whichever format you pick, the serving is printed on the box and the math is done for you.
Where the formats part ways is everything *around* the cannabis: texture, flavor, how obvious the packaging is, whether a serving is one fixed piece or something you can split, and whether it reads as candy, a supplement, or a snack. Those are the differences worth shopping on, so let's take them one at a time.
Gummies: the familiar, grab-and-go starting point
Gummies are the format most people picture, and for good reason — they're approachable, they taste like candy, and each piece is a pre-portioned serving, so you never have to guess where one serving ends. They travel well, they don't melt in a pocket the way chocolate can, and the flavor range is wide. If you're not sure where to start, this is the easy default.
On our Richmond Hill shelf, the gummy lineup usually spans several New York brands, each with its own flavor personality:
- Generic AF — straightforward, sour-forward fruit like Sour Watermelon, Sour Lemon, and Kiwi.
- NYCE — clean single-fruit flavors such as Blueberry, Peach, and Pink Lemonade.
- MFNY — strain-inspired pairings like Sour Green Apple and Blueberry Raz, several made with live resin.
- Mac Pharms — classic candy-shop flavors including Orange Burst, Strawberry, and Blue Razz Punch.
- Flav — chewy belts and rings such as Mango Belts, Blueberry Belt, and the Watermelon Mega Ring.
Level ProTab tablets: for precise, low-key dosing
If a gummy is the candy option, a Level ProTab is the opposite end of the shelf: a small, sugar-free tablet you swallow like a vitamin. There's no flavor to like or dislike, nothing that reads as a treat, and — this is the appeal — the tablet is scored so you can split it. That makes ProTabs the most controllable edible we carry: you can take a precise, measured portion and set the rest aside, which is exactly what people who want consistency reach for.
Level makes the ProTab line in a few varieties, including its higher-count ProTab Max tablets (Indica and Sativa) and the lower-count Slumber and Energy tablets. The names describe the variety, not a guaranteed effect — but the shared point is the same across all of them: a defined, splittable serving with no sugar and nothing to chew. If discretion and precision are what you're after, this is the format to ask for.
Chocolates: the dessert format
Chocolate is the edible for people who'd rather have a proper treat than candy. It's a slower, more deliberate thing — you unwrap a piece, you eat it like dessert, and it tends to arrive after a meal without feeling like snacking on gummies. The trade-off is practical: chocolate is temperature-sensitive, so it's a home-and-fridge format more than a throw-it-in-your-bag-for-the-beach one.
We carry Cannabals chocolates, whose cone-shaped pieces come in Dark, Milk, and White Chocolate, alongside other dessert-leaning bites. A single labeled piece is your serving, same as a gummy — the difference is entirely in the experience of eating it. If you're the type who ends the night with a square of chocolate anyway, this is your shelf.
KushN pouches: a serving hidden in a tin
KushN is the most discreet format we stock. Instead of a candy or a snack, it's a small tin of individual pouches — the kind of thing that disappears into a bag or a jacket pocket and looks like a tin of mints, not cannabis. For shoppers who value keeping it low-profile above all else, this is the one to know about.
The tins come in flavors like Spearmint, Sweet Mint, Citrus, and Tropical, with each pouch a defined serving. It's a genuinely different shape of edible — closer to a pocket accessory than a food — and it fills a niche the gummies and chocolates don't. As always, it's a labeled New York product; the format is discreet, the compliance isn't.
Space Poppers: baked and savory snacks
Not every edible wants to be sweet. Space Poppers is the snack corner of the shelf — baked and savory-leaning bites for when a gummy or a chocolate isn't the mood. Think Churros on the sweet side and Sea Salt, Sweet Chili, and Chicago-style savory snacks on the other. It's the format that feels most like *food* rather than candy or supplement.
Snack-style edibles are worth a word of care precisely because they're moreish and taste like a snack: the serving is still printed on the package, and it's worth reading it rather than grazing. But if you've ever wished an edible tasted like something out of a snack bag instead of a candy jar, this is the one you've been missing.
How do I pick the right format for me?
There's no best edible — there's the best fit for how you shop and where you'll enjoy it. A quick way to match yourself to a format:
- Easiest, most familiar, most portable → gummies (Generic AF, NYCE, MFNY, Mac Pharms, Flav).
- Most precise and controllable → Level ProTab tablets — splittable and sugar-free.
- Most discreet, pocket-friendly → KushN pouch tins.
- A real dessert → Cannabals chocolates (best kept cool).
- A savory or baked snack → Space Poppers.
Still weighing edibles against a vape, a drink, or flower altogether? Our guide to which cannabis product is right for you zooms out to the whole shelf, and the THC drinks guide covers the beverage lane if sipping sounds better than chewing.
Do all these formats behave the same once you eat them?
Broadly, yes — and this is the part that matters more than which format you choose. Because an edible goes through your stomach and liver rather than your lungs, every shape on this list is slower to arrive and longer-lasting than smoking or vaping. A gummy, a tablet, a chocolate, and a snack all tend to come on gradually — often over the better part of an hour or more — and then run for several hours.
The practical upshot is the same regardless of format: read the label, take one serving, and give it plenty of time before deciding on any more. The classic mistake is treating a slow edible like a fast puff and topping up too soon. If you want the full timing walkthrough, how to read an edibles label breaks down every line on the package, and your first edible covers the patience part in detail.
Where do I buy these, and what should I bring?
Buy from a licensed New York dispensary — that's what makes the milligrams on every one of these labels a tested figure rather than a guess, and it's the line between a regulated product and the unlabeled stuff unlicensed shops sell. Cannabis Cowboy is a licensed adult-use dispensary on Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, Queens (NY OCM-RETL-24-000068), serving Ozone Park, Woodhaven, Jamaica, and Kew Gardens.
Bring a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID showing you're 21 or older — you'll show it at the door and again at the register — and no medical card is needed for adult-use. New York's 13% cannabis excise is already built into the menu price, so the shelf number is what you pay. The exact brands and flavors above rotate, so treat this as a map of the formats we carry rather than a live inventory; the menu is always current, and the team is happy to point you to whichever gummies, tablets, chocolates, pouches, or snacks are in stock today.
