New York's adult-use possession limits
The New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) says adults 21 and older may possess up to 3 ounces of cannabis flower and 24 grams of concentrated cannabis. The accessible OCM home-cultivation FAQ also lists these on-person limits; the OCM adult-use page provides the broader current overview, but its direct page fetch timed out in this check.
Where adults may consume cannabis
The official indexed text of OCM's adult-use page says consumption is allowed in a private home or most places tobacco may be consumed, with exceptions including motor vehicles, private businesses such as restaurant patios, hookah or cigar bars, and federal property. The page did not load directly in this pass; check it and local/property rules before acting. Do not treat "most places" as "any public place."
Home cultivation and household caps
OCM says an adult 21+ may grow up to six plants--three mature and three immature--with a maximum of twelve plants per household. Plants must be secured from people under 21, and commercial sale or barter of homegrown cannabis is not allowed. See OCM's cultivation FAQ for conditions and home possession limits. For the separate federal/state boundary, see U.S. cannabis-law basics.
