Long Island's cannabis scene has just leveled up, and the stage is set for an entirely new experience thanks to the grand opening of Beleaf’s second store in Calverton. With over 200 cannabis enthusiasts in attendance, the event wasn't just a ribbon-cutting ceremony—it was a celebration of innovation, premium products, and customer-focused engagement that marked Beleaf as a trailblazer in New York's rapidly evolving cannabis market.
From introducing New York's first sugar-free, vegan, and keto-friendly cannabis gummies to launching the only legal terpene sampling experience in the state, Beleaf’s Calverton grand opening was a bold statement about where the industry is heading.

Chew & Chill: Long Island’s First Taste of Wellness
The most anticipated part of the event was the debut of Chew & Chill, New York’s first sugar-free, vegan, and keto-friendly cannabis gummy. Offering a fresh take on wellness-focused edibles, Chew & Chill captured the attention of the crowd with its clean ingredients, targeted cannabinoid formulations, and delicious flavors. The gummies, designed for both recreational and medicinal users, offer minor cannabinoids like CBD, CBN, CBG, and CBC, making them ideal for everything from relaxation and sleep enhancement to mood elevation.
“Customers have been asking for a sugar-free option for months, and Chew & Chill delivers exactly what they’ve been waiting for,” said a Beleaf budtender at the event. “The flavors are fantastic—bright and fruity without that weedy aftertaste—and the texture is spot-on. They’re easy to chew, which isn’t always the case with gummies.”
The reception to Chew & Chill was overwhelmingly positive, and plans are already in motion to expand the product into Beleaf’s Brooklyn and other Long Island locations.
Vapor Bar Experience: A Sensory Journey Through Terpenes
In addition to the product launches, Beleaf introduced the Uninfused Vapor Bar, a groundbreaking experience that allows customers to sample cannabis terpene profiles without any THC or CBD. It’s the only legal way for consumers in New York to explore the intricate world of cannabis terpenes—the aromatic compounds that affect flavor and aroma. The Vapor Bar was a massive hit at the grand opening, allowing attendees to experience different terpene combinations and enhance their knowledge of the sensory properties of cannabis.
“The Vapor Bar was a huge hit,” said Stephen Gold, Beleaf’s Marketing Manager. “It’s a game-changer for helping customers discover their preferences. Pairing it with the Chew & Chill sampling made the experience truly memorable for everyone.”
This combination of tasting, education, and exploration brought a new level of sophistication to the cannabis shopping experience, setting Beleaf apart as a destination for not just products, but also learning and discovery.
