Our Story
NY Elite Cannabis is the first NYS-licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary in Bayside, Queens — a Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary (CAURD) license holder founded by Carson Grant, a Jamaican immigrant and longtime Queens resident.
Founded by Carson Grant
NY Elite Cannabis is a Black-owned, family-operated business. Founder Carson Grant — a Jamaican immigrant and Queens resident for decades — spent more than 20 years operating a cannabis delivery service before New York State opened its legal market. When New York launched the CAURD program to prioritize entrepreneurs most impacted by past cannabis laws, Carson put his name in.
We were awarded license OCM-CAURD-24-000153 and opened our doors on Bell Blvd — the first legal adult-use dispensary in Bayside. We hire locally — especially residents impacted by past cannabis laws — and reinvest in the communities we serve.
Today, we operate the way any great neighborhood business does: we know our customers by name, we recommend products honestly, we train our staff on every new arrival, and we treat every interaction like it matters. Because it does.
Curation
Every cultivator, processor, and brand on our menu operates under New York State license. We prioritize small-batch growers and NY-extracted concentrates.
Compliance
Every product is lab-tested for potency and contaminants. Every staff member is trained on NY cannabis regulation. Every transaction is age-verified.
Community
We sponsor local events, support CAURD peers across New York, and hire locally. This is a Queens business built for Queens people.
