Cannabis is legal for adult use in New York City, with laws allowing adults aged 21 and older to possess up to three ounces of cannabis and up to 24 grams of concentrates outside the home. Additionally, individuals can store up to five pounds of cannabis within their private residences. This shift in legislation reflects New York State’s move toward broader legalization and regulation of cannabis consumption, aiming to address historical inequities and ensure safer usage. Consumers must purchase cannabis from licensed dispensaries to ensure product quality and legality. While state law permits this activity, it remains illegal at the federal level.
