NYC Cannabis Events – July 2025 Guide by Cannabrite

These aren’t weed events.

They’re what New York cannabis culture really looks like—legal, loud, and built from the block up.

This month, it’s all here:

Music battles. Puff-and-paint nights. Infused wellness. Real networking. And delivery from the dispensaries that matter.

1. Buds & Bars – NYC’s First Legal Cannabis Rap Battle

Friday, July 12 | 8PM | S.O.B.’s – Manhattan

Now, it’s legal. And louder than ever.

Packaging Wars champion. Now licensed and leading.

This isn’t a corporate remix.

This is the first legal cannabis rap battle in New York history.

And it’s happening at S.O.B.’s.
