New Regulations on Marijuana Cultivation and Storage in New York
Residents of New York may soon be allowed to grow and store up to five pounds of marijuana at home.

According to a report by es.gizmodo published on January 25th, residents of New York state in the United States may soon be entering a new era of home cannabis cultivation.

 

The state's marijuana control committee has currently submitted a regulation related to marijuana cultivation to the voters. Once implemented, residents will be granted the right to cultivate up to 12 marijuana plants and store up to five pounds of homegrown marijuana. Furthermore, marijuana growers will be allowed to cultivate marijuana in their apartments using shoeboxes. Without a license, residents cannot sell their marijuana inventory, but they are permitted to share it without any monetary compensation.

 

Despite New York state passing a bill in 2021 that allows adults to legally possess marijuana and cultivate it at home, this decision has been put on hold due to the New York State Cannabis Control Board currently in the process of developing regulations. The current regulations stipulate that residents of the Empire State, who are 21 years or older, can purchase up to three ounces of marijuana from licensed dispensaries.

 

Once the new regulations are implemented, residents will be permitted to purchase and possess up to five pounds of marijuana buds for personal use at their homes. Additionally, home cultivation of marijuana plants will be allowed for family farms, with a limit of six mature, flowering plants and six seedlings per household, regardless of the number of family members.

 

The voting is expected to commence in February, and once the new regulations are passed, there will be a 60-day period for public opinion collection, after which the regulations will come into effect officially.

 

It is worth noting that according to new regulations, if the smell of homegrown marijuana is too strong and affects the neighborhood, growers must take measures to resolve the issue. In addition, there are other restrictions, such as the "New York City Housing" regulation, which stipulates that only residents of communities where federal laws do not apply can cultivate marijuana.

 

In summary, the new developments of this future bill have filled the people of New York with anticipation for the prospects of marijuana cultivation in the future.
