Big Gas Dispensary

Zymia Lewis and Kareem Haynesworth; New Paltz, NY

Big Gas Dispensary is located at 98 N. Chestnut St., New Paltz, NY.

Big Gas Dispensary, the first licensed cannabis dispensary in the village of New Paltz, is owned by Zymia Lewis and Kareem Haynesworth. The duo has been operating a delivery service since earlier this year in Sullivan, Dutchess, Putnam, Orange, and Ulster counties.

The dispensary is uniquely housed in an adaptive reuse of a former Stewart's Shop and gas station. Embracing the location's former identity, Zymia and Kareem drew inspiration from the old convenience shop, incorporating a fun, gas station motif into their store.

Their mission is to foster a world where the cannabis lifestyle is understood and embraced without fear, bias, or shame. They are committed to promoting awareness and education and aim to dismantle stereotypes and provide a welcoming environment for all.
