There seems to be no shortage of ways to stock up on your cannabis products in the nabe these days, with two local shops now in business on Broadway. The foyer of Hudson Wellness, the wholistic med center at 281 Broadway between Chambers and Reade, now has a permanent retail CBD operation, with a nutritionist on hand to assist with sales and regular recommendations from the business’ medical and physical therapy staff (more on this later). Products are categorized by results: immunity, better sleep, healthy skin.

And up the street, Steven Phan’s Come Back Daily shop that opened in November (Get it? C-ome B-ack D-aily? Get it?) is now holding monthly cannabis yoga, where practitioners get a drop of tincture under their tongues, wait an hour, then as the lights dim, get to see what yoga is really meant to feel like. The huge store (381 Broadway at White) is set up with couches and tables and welcomes anyone who needs to kill a few hours to come in and relax, whether shopping or not. Phan encourages customers to try his products first before buying – everything on the shelves is available for sampling — which he says is a sure bet: “It sells itself.” He will also price-match any of his products, which range from $45 to $300 for medical grade post-surgical pain relief.
