Charlie Fox Is Redefining the Hamptons Cannabis Experience—One Conversation at a Time

Charlie Fox is the first Hamptons dispensary to fully lean into correcting cannabis misunderstandings and helping its customers ease into the experience. Charlie Fox allows you to book an appointment (in-person or online) with their experts to pair each person with the right products.

Co-Founder Julia Levi tells me, “Education is essential for us, and something we feel is missing in this emerging space. Still, we know education is a two-way street. We’re not just helping our customers explore the benefits of cannabis – we are also listening to and learning from our customers through one-on-one consultations to help curate and personalize the right cannabis experience.”

“One of the most exciting and inspiring things I hear from our customers is that they are able to replace other pharmaceuticals or that extra cocktail with the right combination from Charlie Fox. That is powerful.”

If you have trouble understanding the right dosage and timing for edibles, you’re not alone. Luckily, the Charlie Fox team will 100% help you find the right balance to get you where you want to go. Julia adds, “Many of our products are meant to be buildable and layered, truly customized for the best result – we are big believers in micro-dosing and maintaining communication to help us best understand preferences over time.” 

You can hear their team’s passion (and patience) as they explain NY laws and regulations of Cannabis as fluently as they do the nuances of THC edible dosing – it helps that they can speak from experience. 

James Mallios has the passion of a founder and the old-friends-after-five-minutes that can only be perfected by hospitality veterans and, maybe, mayoral candidates.

On what “service” actually means in a dispensary (especially for the cannabis-curious): James is clear that the point isn’t to rush people through a transaction—it’s to meet them where they are and guide them like a true hospitality team. “Our customers always have questions, and we love that – it also means that our service needs to match what we offer. That’s more than transparency about what goes into our products – and of course, what does not go into our products – that’s taking time to listen and advise based on you, your lifestyle, and what experience you are looking for.”

James explains that recognizable, reputable brands aren’t a flex—they’re the baseline for trust, consistency, and ingredient-level transparency. “Nationally recognized brands are critical to establish trust and transparency with our customers – you should know every ingredient. In the same way, we welcome regulation because health and safety are our #1 factor.”

Charlie Fox is health-conscious by design, built for Hamptons customers who read labels and care where things come from. “Health consciousness is infused in our brand at every level. We know our Hamptons customers care about what they put in their bodies – ingredients, materials, how and where it’s made are all critical.”

James compares today’s gray areas to the messy years after prohibition—exactly why Charlie Fox obsesses over education, standards, and doing it the right way. “Similar to the years after prohibition ended, when you had people selling bathroom gin, many cannabis users are being taken advantage of by some bad actors. We take customer education very seriously and want to be the standard-bearer for safety and transparency in cannabis.”

“Its kinda common sense, but beware the guys who pull out a briefcase filled with jars.”
