Oneida Indian Nation Will Enter Cannabis Market

By Isaac White.

ONEIDA NATION – The Oneida Indian Nation is making a groundbreaking entry into the cannabis market with the opening of its first dispensary, Verona Collective, on January 3. Located at 5250 Willow Place, directly across from Turning Stone Resort Casino, the dispensary is set to offer an exclusive selection of high-quality cannabis products.

During its soft opening, Verona Collective will feature cannabis flower and pre-rolls from its proprietary brands including Trim & Proper, CNY Provisions, and Fair Shake. This initial offering will soon expand to include a wider range of products such as chocolates, gummies, and vapes, marking a significant development in the Oneida Indian Nation’s seed-to-sale cannabis operation.

Catering to diverse preferences, the dispensary offers customers the opportunity to purchase up to three ounces of cannabis flower daily. Additionally, customers can choose from pre-rolls available in 1-gram individual and 5-pack options. These products reflect the commitment of Verona Collective to providing quality and variety in their offerings.

The dispensary’s strategic location and convenient operating hours (10am to 9pm Sunday through Wednesday and 10am to 10pm Thursday through Saturday) make it accessible to a broad range of customers. To ensure a responsible and legal purchasing experience, guests must be 21 or older and present a valid physical government-issued ID to enter the dispensary. In terms of payment, Verona Collective accommodates cash and debit card transactions, with an ATM available on-site for added convenience.

In addition to providing quality cannabis products, the Oneida Indian Nation is also focused on community involvement and employment opportunities. They have announced a hiring initiative for the dispensary, giving preference to employees of Turning Stone Resort Casino. This move not only supports the local economy but also strengthens the community ties of the Oneida Indian Nation.

The opening of Verona Collective marks a significant milestone in New York’s cannabis industry, showcasing the Oneida Indian Nation’s commitment to quality, variety, and community engagement. As the state’s cannabis market continues to evolve, the Verona Collective sets a high standard for future dispensaries in the region. Customers can look forward to a unique shopping experience, with the promise of new and exciting products in the near future.
