Amherst Dispensary Finally Opens After Years of Delay, Joins Growing Market

A new cannabis dispensary has settled into Getzville. Northtowns Cannabis, located at 2353 Millersport Highway, is a licensed adult-use dispensary. The shop’s arrival lands amid a statewide cannabis market that keeps expanding even as some of its earliest hopefuls are still stuck waiting for approval.

Northtowns Cannabis was founded by Scott Mazza, who also owns Buffalo’s Vitality CBD, per the Buffalo News. According to Step Out Buffalo, the shop is a licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary in the Town of Amherst, open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. for in-store shopping, curbside pickup and delivery. Customers must be at least 21 years old and present a valid government-issued photo ID to shop there, the outlet notes.

Mazza eventually joined the ranks of licensed operators after a lengthy licensing wait. The Buffalo News also notes that New York’s recreational cannabis industry is about four years old, and that a backlog of applicants, described as including hundreds still waiting for approval, continues to work through the state’s licensing pipeline.
