Our Upper East Side cannabis dispensary is a family-run labor of shared love. Founders Nicole and Chris Lucien (that’s us!) first met at work years ago, and founding Bliss + Lex together has brought us full circle.

We’re a true team as husband and wife, and we have grown together through life’s challenges, including the lingering stigma of a decades-old cannabis conviction. We know firsthand the impact that cannabis prohibition and criminalization has had on ordinary New Yorkers—and the importance of community in building a brighter future.
