As cannabis laws evolve, staying informed is essential. Whether you’re a longtime user or new to the plant, understanding how legal cannabis in New York in 2025 works can help you shop safely and confidently.
At County Road Cannabis, we believe in consumer education. Here’s a breakdown of what’s legal, what’s not, and how to stay compliant in New York’s adult-use market.
Who Can Legally Purchase Cannabis?
In New York, adults 21 and older can legally purchase cannabis from licensed dispensaries. You must show a valid, government-issued ID when buying in-store or picking up an online order.
Note: It’s still illegal to buy cannabis from unlicensed vendors or street markets, even if they claim to be “gray market” retailers.
Where You Can Legally Buy
To stay within the law:
-
Buy only from state-licensed dispensaries like County Road Cannabis
-
Avoid unlicensed smoke shops or delivery apps not listed by the OCM (Office of Cannabis Management)
-
Keep receipts and labels—especially while transporting products

Possession and Purchase Limits
As of 2025, New York law allows adults to:
-
Possess up to 3 ounces of cannabis flower
-
Possess up to 24 grams of concentrates
-
Store up to 5 pounds at home (must be secured)
You may also give cannabis (not sell) to another adult 21+—as long as there’s no exchange of money or goods.
Can You Grow Cannabis at Home?
Yes. Adults can grow:
-
Up to 3 mature and 3 immature plants per person
-
No more than 6 mature plants per household
Plants must be grown out of public view and secured from access by minors. Always check for the latest guidance from the New York Office of Cannabis Management.
What’s Still Illegal in 2025?
Despite progress, some actions remain illegal:
-
Public smoking outside of designated areas
-
Driving under the influence of cannabis
-
Buying from or selling to unlicensed sources
-
Mailing cannabis across state lines
Violation of these rules can still result in fines or legal consequences.
