From artisanal accessories to premium vapes and full-spectrum edibles, these nine AAPI-owned cannabis brands are leading New York’s market with innovation, intention, and authenticity.
BLOOM has been shaping the cannabis vape market since 2014. Co-founded by Casey Ly, the brand blends sharp design with a deep love for the plant, bringing bold flavor, smooth delivery, and a signature surfboard-shaped disposable to consumers across California, Illinois, New Mexico, Michigan, and now in New York.
Born in Los Angeles, BLOOM’s hardware features innovations like triple-intake airflow and cooling systems. Their adjustments to standard hardware and batteries help preserve delicate terpenes while properly heating cannabinoids for the full effect. The result is a full-spectrum vape experience that feels as close to the flower as possible.
Born out of a desire to break stigma while elevating the cannabis experience, ONGROK delivers sleek, discreet accessories designed for real life. Founded by Jeremy Seed, ONGROK began as a personal project: a young professional looking for well-made tools that matched his lifestyle, without flashy branding or inflated prices. Each item is designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life.
The collection of prep tools like grinders, pipes, and storage items is designed with discretion in mind, with durability as the focus. Products like one-hitters and storage pucks are made of aluminum that won’t absorb odors. They come at affordable price points as well, with products starting at $5.
Rooted in the cultural legacy of Woodstock 1969, the Woodstock cannabis brand is built on the enduring values of peace, creative freedom, and social consciousness forever associated with that famous festival. Under the leadership of CEO Richard Lee, Woodstock carries the torch for a generation that believed in challenging authority, rejecting injustice, and finding joy in collective experience.
The brand’s identity is shaped by its counterculture origins, a celebration of those who use art, music, and cannabis as tools for connection and change. Through thoughtful products and bold messaging, they honor the belief that cannabis is not only for personal enjoyment but also a catalyst for building community and imagining a better world. Products include live resin-infused flower, shatter-infused prerolls, and live resin vapes, both all-in-one (AIO) disposable and 510-thread.
Xiaolin set out to perfect one thing: the hand-rolled cannagar. What began as a passion project rooted in precision and excellence quickly evolved into a full-fledged lifestyle brand defined by artistry, quality, and integrity. From blind taste tests to rigorous quality control, the team ensures that each creation delivers on its promise of a refined, elevated experience.
Founded by Staten Island native Chris Louie, Xiaolin (pronounced Shao-Lin) blends the discipline and legacy of Shaolin-inspired philosophy with modern cannabis luxury. The name pays homage to Louie’s upbringing on Staten Island, the borough famously dubbed “Shaolin” by Wu-Tang, and reflects the deep Asian American cultural influence behind the brand. While New York is the second state Xiaolin has launched in after Colorado, the brand’s roots and ethos are deeply tied to the city’s Asian, Black, and Italian cultures.
NWTN Home is an accessory brand that blends functional cannabis design with refined home aesthetics. Their products, inspired by traditional Eastern philosophies of balance and tranquility, are minimalist in design, emphasizing craftsmanship, clean lines, and natural materials.
Whether an Anchor Lighter or a Deco Gravity Bong, every item is thoughtfully designed to elevate daily rituals. NWTN Home champions a future where cannabis is not hidden away but integrated into everyday life with elegance, contributing to a broader cultural shift toward embracing cannabis as part of a balanced and intentional lifestyle.
Few cannabis brands have made an impact as quickly and widely as STIIIZY. Co-founded in 2017 by James Kim, a Korean-American Army veteran, STIIIZY has grown from a Los Angeles startup into a national powerhouse, known for sleek vape pods, potent flower, and a strong connection to its community.
Kim’s journey into cannabis began after a 13-month combat tour in Iraq. Like many veterans, he turned to cannabis to manage PTSD, and from that personal healing came the drive to help others. Alongside co-founders Tony Huang and Samuel Cho, Kim built STIIIZY with a vision to make high-quality cannabis products accessible, modern, and meaningful.
With its distinctive pod-based vape system and stylish, street-savvy branding, STIIIZY quickly carved out its place in California’s competitive market. But it didn’t stop there. Under Kim’s leadership, STIIIZY expanded to New York and more, building a multistate presence without losing its edge.
Founded by Angela Mou, a first-generation Taiwanese-American, Elevate Jane aims to reshape the way consumers see cannabis through thoughtfully designed accessories. The company brings a fresh perspective to the smoke shop experience, one that centers inclusivity, elegance, and self-expression.
With hand-blown glass and ceramic pieces finished in small batches, the brand invites flower lovers to treat the plant not as a hidden habit, but as a meaningful ritual that can sit proudly on the coffee table. Their collection of pipes, ashtrays, storage, and other essentials is curated to feel more like modern home decor than traditional paraphernalia.
Founded by Japanese-American entrepreneur Punit Seth, Toast is a cannabis and hemp brand rooted in balance, quality, and elevated experiences. With origins in Aspen and formulations crafted in the Colorado Rockies, Toast offers a range of THC and CBD products, including diamond-infused prerolls and infused pre-ground flower carried at The Travel Agency.
The New Savant is a Brooklyn-based candle studio founded by Ingrid Nilsen, a queer AAPI entrepreneur committed to storytelling through scent. Each candle is crafted to reflect layered identities and lived experiences, blending unexpected fragrance notes that fold in the Asian experience. Lychee, rice, lotus, and chili are among the unique, Asian-inspired flavor profiles in The New Savant candles. More universal — and more unconventional — scent profiles include rubber eraser and salty tears.
These trailblazing AAPI-owned brands, both in cannabis and beyond, remind us that great products contribute to the holistic experience of enjoying your favorite edible or vibing with infused prerolls. Whether you’re exploring elevated accessories from ONGROK, lighting up a luxurious cannagar from Xiaolin, or enjoying a signature BLOOM disposable vape, supporting AAPI entrepreneurs means investing in quality, culture, and representation.
