New York Prepares to Legalize Homegrown Marijuana

Proposed Regulations Allow Residents to Cultivate Up to Six Plants, Possess Five Pounds of Trimmed Flowers

New York is set to issue regulations allowing residents to legally grow marijuana at home, with individuals aged 21 and above allowed to grow up to six plants for personal use.
The proposed regulations also allow individuals to possess up to five pounds of trimmed flowers from their homegrown plants, although the legal limit for carrying marijuana is capped at three ounces.
Plants must be kept in a secure, non-public location inaccessible to those under 21, and landlords can enforce odor mitigation policies but can't forbid marijuana growing.
Those residing in federal property or federally subsidized housing will not be allowed to grow marijuana at home due to marijuana's federal illegality.
The Cannabis Control Board was set to vote on the rules, but the meeting was postponed to February. Once the regulations are approved, they'll be open for a 60-day public comment period before they go into effect.
