WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR DONATIONS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SKIP THAT PART. YOUR SIGNATURES FOR CONTINUED SUPPORT MORE THAN ENOUGH 

We, the undersigned supporters of cannabis equality and New York culture, call on the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) to review and grant STR8 GAS NYC’s application for Micro Dispensary licensing.

 

STR8 GAS NYC was built by New Yorkers directly impacted by cannabis prohibition — not corporations, not out-of-state investors. After years behind bars and years rebuilding from the ground up, this brand stands as proof of what real reform should look like: resilience, community, and craft.

 

Since legalization, we’ve watched big names skip the line while the people who carried the culture have been left waiting. The promise of equality in cannabis was never meant to be smoke and mirrors — it was meant to open doors for those who earned their place through dedication and authenticity.

 

STR8 GAS meets every OCM requirement — from compliance and lab testing to safe, high-quality product standards (ACT Labs NY verified 26% THC / 1.8terpenes). The brand has hosted community fundraisers, dinner events, and creative collaborations that uplift both artists and small businesses across the city.

 

We’re not asking for favors.

We’re asking for fairness — for the OCM to recognize that STR8 GAS represents the people, the culture, and the true spirit of legalization.

 

Approving STR8 GAS’s application would show that New York stands for equality, not exploitation — for opportunity, not gatekeeping.

 

Sign this petition to urge the OCM to do what’s right:

✅ Review and grant STR8 GAS NYC’s application

✅ Let the people’s brand reach licensed shelves

✅ Show that New York stands behind those who built the foundation
