 This is the dawning of a new era. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently signed legislation that made the Big Apple the 15th state to legalize recreational cannabis use. In late March, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation that made the Big Apple the 15th state to legalize recreational cannabis use.“This is a historic day in New York, “Cuomo said in a statement after signing the law. “One that rights the wrongs of the past by putting an end to harsh prison sentences, embraces an industry that will grow the Empire State’s economy, and prioritizes marginalized communities so those that have suffered the most will be the first to reap the benefits.” Medical marijuana patients can begin growing cannabis at home no later than six months from now. Recreational cannabis consumers can begin growing cannabis at home no later than 18 months after the launch of legal adult-use cannabis sales. This likely won’t happen until the end of 2023. Once home cultivation becomes permissible, consumers will be allowed to possess up to five pounds of cannabis at home. However, they’ll still be limited to three ounces of cannabis when in public.
