NY Cannabis Law Sec 222 allows adults 21+ to grow up to 3 mature and 3 immature plants at home (max 6 mature and 6 immature per household). Must be on property of primary residence, secured from minors, not visible from public right-of-way.
Home grow became legal 18 months after first adult-use retail sale — effective 2024. Plants cannot be visible from street without binoculars/aid. Municipalities cannot ban home grow but can impose reasonable time/place/manner rules. Smell alone does not constitute probable cause (People v. Hill, 2022).
