I’m Jeremy Rivera, owner of Terp Bros Astoria and proud advocate for social equity in cannabis. After overcoming personal adversity, I founded Terp Bros Astoria to create a welcoming community space offering exceptional cannabis experiences.
When you walk into Terp Bros Astoria, you immediately notice something different. It’s not just another dispensary – it’s a community hub that celebrates local culture, champions social equity, and provides a welcoming space for everyone.
Our journey to opening our doors wasn’t straightforward. As Jeremy Rivera puts it, “This has been a long time coming.” After receiving one of New York’s coveted CAURD (Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary) licenses, we faced significant legal challenges that delayed our opening. The CAURD program specifically reserves licenses for people with past marijuana convictions and their family members, creating opportunities for those most impacted by cannabis prohibition.
Rivera, who invested over $300,000 into Terp Bros Astoria, was one of just 99 people across New York State awarded a CAURD provisional license. This wasn’t just a business opportunity – it was a chance for redemption and community impact.
“We just cried. It was a good feeling to know that we were leading the fight in the right way,” Rivera shared when recalling the moment Terp Bros finally received permission to open after months of legal battles.
The CAURD Program and Social Justice
The CAURD program represents New York’s commitment to addressing historical injustices related to cannabis prohibition. As one of the first dispensaries to open under this initiative, Terp Bros Astoria embodies the spirit of this program.
The program works by:
- Prioritizing licenses for justice-involved individuals (those with prior cannabis convictions)
- Providing support and resources to help these entrepreneurs succeed
- Creating pathways for community reinvestment
- Ensuring diverse participation in the legal cannabis industry
For more detailed information on this groundbreaking program, you can visit the official CAURD Program page.
Our Commitment to Inclusivity
At Terp Bros Astoria, inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword – it’s built into our DNA. Our team reflects the diverse community we serve, and we’ve created a space where everyone feels welcome, regardless of their cannabis experience level.
“This is a lot of what we wanted to do from the beginning. Being able to implement that and actually build that community strength and create these jobs is so fulfilling,” Rivera explains about the vision behind Terp Bros.
Our budtenders are trained not just on products, but on creating a judgment-free zone where questions are encouraged and education is prioritized. Whether you’re a cannabis connoisseur or a curious first-timer, you’ll find our team ready to guide you through your experience with knowledge and respect.

Whether you’re brand new to cannabis or a seasoned enthusiast, you’ll find quality choices that suit your needs perfectly.
Premium Flower
Our flower is the star of the show—and with good reason. At Terp Bros Astoria, we source our flower from some of New York’s best cultivators who share our passion for quality. You’ll find a fantastic variety, from uplifting sativas perfect for daytime creativity, to calming indicas ideal for winding down after a long day. There are also balanced hybrids offering the best of both worlds.

Edibles for Discreet Consumption
Edibles are a favorite for folks who want a discreet way to enjoy cannabis. At Terp Bros Astoria, you’ll find delicious options like gummies, chocolates, beverages, and easy-to-use tinctures. If you’re new to edibles, don’t hesitate to ask our friendly budtenders. They’ll help you start with lower-dose items—like cannabis-infused sodas—that allow you to ease into your experience at your own pace.

The Terpene Experience
At Terp Bros Astoria, it’s no secret—we’re obsessed with terpenes! It’s right there in our name. But what exactly are terpenes? Simply put, they’re natural aromatic compounds found in cannabis (and many other plants) that give each strain its unique aroma and flavor.
But terpenes aren’t just about smells. They also team up with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to create what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This interaction is believed to improve the therapeutic potential of cannabis, providing more targeted and enjoyable effects.
Our knowledgeable budtenders love talking terpenes. Next time you’re in, chat with them about your desired experience. They’ll point you toward the terpene profiles—like relaxing myrcene, energizing limonene, or fresh pinene—that best match what you’re looking for.

We also believe in mentorship and education, offering guidance and information for those looking to enter the cannabis industry.

What Makes Terp Bros Different from Other Dispensaries?
We get asked this a lot, and we’re always proud to answer. Terp Bros Astoria isn’t your average dispensary—we’re deeply committed to social equity. As one of the first CAURD licensees in New York, we represent the state’s promise to create opportunities for communities impacted by cannabis prohibition.
Beyond that, we’re all about community. Our dispensary is filled with vibrant local art, and we regularly host events that educate, entertain, and bring neighbors together. Our staff members aren’t just friendly—they’re exceptionally well-trained, knowledgeable, and passionate about cannabis.
We also take product quality seriously, sourcing primarily from New York producers known for their consistency, purity, and innovation. And our inclusive atmosphere means everyone—from cannabis first-timers to seasoned pros—feels comfortable at Terp Bros.
We think these differences make us pretty special, and our customers agree. As one recent review says, “Best dispensary in all of Queens (and maybe the whole city). Their staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about all their products.”
Is Cannabis Legal in New York?
You bet! Cannabis is legal for adults aged 21 and older in New York State. The Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA), passed in March 2021, allows adults to possess up to 3 ounces of cannabis flower or 24 grams of concentrate. You can also legally grow up to six plants at home (three mature, three immature).
But there are important rules to follow. Public consumption is limited to areas where tobacco smoking is permitted, driving under the influence remains illegal, and cannabis cannot be transported across state lines. And of course, dispensaries like Terp Bros Astoria can only sell to adults 21+.
Curious about the specifics? Learn more by visiting the official Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act page.
How Does Terp Bros Ensure Product Safety and Quality?
We take your safety seriously at Terp Bros Astoria. Every product you find on our shelves goes through rigorous quality checks. Our sourcing process starts with choosing licensed suppliers who follow strict state guidelines for cultivation and manufacturing.
Plus, every product undergoes thorough lab testing to verify potency and check for contaminants like pesticides, heavy metals, and impurities. We store our products carefully to maintain freshness, effectiveness, and safety, and our budtenders are trained to recognize and handle products properly.
We track every batch carefully, ensuring quick action if any concerns arise. When you make a purchase at Terp Bros, you can feel confident knowing you’re getting safe, legal, and top-quality cannabis products.
What Should First-Time Cannabis Users Know?
If you’re new to cannabis, no worries—we’ll make sure you’re comfortable and informed before you start your journey. At Terp Bros Astoria, our rule for beginners is simple: “Start low and go slow.” Begin with a lower-dose product and give yourself plenty of time to feel its effects.
Choosing your product type is also important. Edibles take longer to kick in (usually 30-90 minutes) but their effects last longer. In contrast, inhalation methods like vaping or smoking are quicker acting but shorter lasting. Our budtenders can help you find the perfect option based on your needs.
The environment where you enjoy cannabis matters, too. Pick a comfortable and safe setting, ask questions, and know your limits. It’s perfectly okay—and smart—to start slow.
Many first-timers prefer low-dose edibles (2.5-5mg THC) or balanced CBD:THC products for a gentle introduction to cannabis effects. But no matter what you choose, our friendly staff is always ready to help guide your experience.

Additionally, a portion of our profits goes right back into the community, supporting local initiatives, sponsorships, and social justice organizations. We’re proud advocates for policy reform aimed at addressing historical injustices and creating a fairer cannabis landscape for everyone.
At Terp Bros, social equity isn’t an afterthought—it’s our mission, and we’re dedicated to making lasting change every day.
