As the cannabis industry continues to evolve and expand across the U.S., Left Coast, California’s renowned veteran and women-owned cannabis brand, is making its mark on the East Coast with the opening of a new facility in Saratoga Springs, New York. Known for its unwavering commitment to quality, safety, and community engagement, Left Coast is poised to bring its premium cannabis products and signature California cool to New York’s rapidly growing cannabis market. Coltin Barody, owner of Left Coast stated, “As someone who grew up in upstate New York, it’s incredibly meaningful to bring the same level of care and attention back home. Our customers can trust the purity and safety of our products, knowing that we’ve put them through the most rigorous testing to ensure they meet the highest standards. Together with my partner, Alexandria Kometas, I’m proud to offer that peace of mind to my fellow New Yorkers.”

Left Coast’s expansion comes at a time when consumer demand for high-quality, safe, and locally sourced cannabis products is at an all-time high. Having built a reputation for rigorous testing and exceptional quality on the West Coast, Left Coast is eager to offer New Yorkers the same level of trust and excellence that has made it a leader in the industry.

A Commitment to Quality and Safety

At the heart of Left Coast’s mission is a deep commitment to product safety and consumer well-being. Every flower, pre-roll, vape, and battery produced by the company undergoes comprehensive testing for pesticides, heavy metals, mold, and other potential contaminants. This meticulous approach ensures that each product meets the highest safety standards, offering consumers peace of mind with every purchase. “Safety has always been my top priority,” says Coltin Barody.

Local Sourcing and Supporting Communities

In keeping with its California roots, Left Coast is dedicated to sourcing locally whenever possible. The company’s new Saratoga Springs facility will collaborate with local growers and suppliers, reinforcing their commitment to supporting regional agriculture and ensuring their products benefit from New York’s growing conditions. This local focus not only strengthens the brand’s community ties but also upholds its reputation for delivering the highest-quality cannabis extracts to the market.

Expanding the California Experience

Left Coast has always been synonymous with the laid-back, sun-soaked lifestyle of California, and the brand is excited to bring a taste of the West Coast to the East. Their sleek, modern vapes, flavorful pre-rolls, and potent flower products are designed to elevate everyday experiences, whether it’s a sunset beach gathering or a cozy night in.

“Saratoga Springs is the perfect location for our first East Coast expansion,” adds Barody. “The community is vibrant and forward-thinking, and we’re excited to introduce them to the Left Coast experience.”

Leading the Vape Market with Innovation

One of the standout features of Left Coast’s success in the cannabis market has been its dominance in the vape category. Left Coast’s vape pods have gained widespread popularity for their ease of use, smooth experience, and premium quality. This innovation has helped Left Coast stay ahead of the competition, and the brand looks forward to offering the same exceptional vaping experience to consumers in New York.

“We’ve set the standard for cannabis vaping in California, and we’re ready to do the same in New York,” notes a company representative. “Our products are rigorously tested and designed for maximum satisfaction, which is why our customers keep coming back.” New York consumers can locate licensed dispensaries by visiting the Office of Cannabis Management’s website. The site features a Dispensary Location Verification tool that provides an up-to-date list of all regulated, licensed dispensaries in the state. More details are available in the Adult Use section of the website.

Building on Trust and Inclusivity

As a veteran- and women-owned company, Left Coast has made inclusivity and community support core tenets of its brand. Their expansion to New York is another step in fostering connections and making high-quality cannabis accessible to more people. Through initiatives that give back to local communities and by creating opportunities for underrepresented groups in the cannabis industry, Left Coast continues to build a brand that consumers can trust and feel good about supporting.

Looking Ahead

With their new facility in Saratoga Springs, Left Coast is ready to elevate New York’s cannabis scene and set a new standard for quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. As the brand continues to expand across the U.S., its commitment to excellence remains steadfast, ensuring that cannabis enthusiasts from coast to coast can enjoy the very best that the industry has to offer.

As Left Coast’s tagline goes, “Left Coast is always going to be the Best Coast”—and now, New Yorkers can experience why firsthand.
