The Higher Company

Pioneering a New Era in Cannabis Welcome to The Higher Company, Syracuse’s second downtown licensed New York State dispensary. As one of the first 137 dispensaries to open in the state, we are proud to be part of a historic moment in cannabis legalization. Our mission is to provide high-quality cannabis products and create a welcoming environment for our community. Our Story The Higher Company was founded with a vision to transform the cannabis industry and promote its benefits to a wider audience. Our founding members are proud participants in New York’s Cannabis Adult-Use Retail Dispensary (CAURD) program. Having been previously convicted for cannabis-related offenses, they have turned their past experiences into a positive force for change. Their journey from adversity to advocacy is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of cannabis. “We believe in the power of cannabis to enhance well-being and improve quality of life,” says Joe Sweet. “Our journey began with a passion for the plant and a commitment to providing safe, accessible, and high-quality cannabis products to our community.”
