Straight Gas in the Community: Our 2026 Commitment to Center Moriches
Straight Gas is committed to Center Moriches. Learn how our licensed cannabinoid retailer status and 24/7 dedication drive growth and social equity in NY. 
Since we first opened our doors, Straight Gas hasn’t just been about providing the highest quality THCa products in New York. It’s been about the vibe, the culture, and: most importantly: the people of Center Moriches. As we move through 2026, we are doubling down on our role as a local anchor. For us, "Straight Gas" isn't just a brand name; it's a promise of excellence in every facet of our business, from the trichomes on our Gary Payton flower to the paycheck in a local resident's pocket.
We aren't a faceless corporation. We are your neighbors at 1 Union Ave, and we’re here to prove that a premium licensed cannabinoid retailer can be a powerful engine for community growth and social equity. We work 24/7 to serve the community and maximize growth.
📍 The Anchor at 1 Union Ave

🎓 Education: Quarterly Cannabis 101 Workshops
The world of THCa, exotic genetics, and federal compliance can be confusing. To bridge the gap, Straight Gas is hosting Quarterly Cannabis 101 Workshops at our 1 Union Ave location.
Workshop Curriculum Highlights:

- Consumption Methods: Pros and cons of flower, vapes, edibles, and concentrates.
- Safety & Compliance: How to read Certificates of Analysis (COAs) and ensure your product is lab-tested and clean.
Winner: The educated consumer. These workshops are free to the public and designed to demystify the plant for adults 21+.
