A New Chapter for Cannabis in New York

It’s 2025, and cannabis culture has shifted. For many New Yorkers, cannabis isn’t just about “getting high” — it’s about wellness, balance, and everyday life. At Lifted, we see customers who are exploring cannabis as part of their self-care routines, much like yoga, herbal teas, or meditation.

The Expanding Wellness Conversation

In the past, cannabis was often stigmatized. Now, conversations sound different:

“What strain helps me feel social but calm?”
“Is there a gummy I can use to unwind instead of pouring a drink?”
“Which products fit my weekend hiking trips?”

Cannabis has become a wellness tool, not just a recreational one.

The Products Shaping 2025

Microdose Edibles → Gummies with 2–5mg of THC are huge for customers who want control.
CBD & CBG Blends → Non-intoxicating cannabinoids for balance and focus.
Topicals → Creams and balms for localized relief without the head high.
Social Seltzers → Cannabis-infused beverages replacing cocktails at backyard gatherings.

Why Local Matters in Wellness

Jamestown is part of a broader trend: people want locally grown, thoughtfully produced cannabis. Supporting local cultivators means fresher products and a smaller carbon footprint. In 2025, choosing cannabis is also about choosing community.

Responsible Use = Wellness Use

Wellness also means responsibility. At Lifted, we remind our customers:

Always consume in moderation.
Don’t mix with alcohol or operate vehicles while impaired.
Keep products away from children and pets.
Choose settings that make you feel safe and comfortable.

How Lifted Fits In

Our mission has always been “Local. Legal. Lifted.” — and in 2025, that means being part of Jamestown’s wellness culture. Whether you’re curious about microdosing, want to learn about terpenes, or are exploring cannabis as an alternative to alcohol, we’re here with safe, legal, and licensed products.

Final Thought

Cannabis is no longer an outsider in the wellness world. It’s part of how New Yorkers are finding balance, community, and care in 2025. If you’re ready to explore cannabis beyond the high, stop into Lifted and let’s find the right fit for your lifestyle.
