NY Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA 2021) allows adults 21+ to grow up to 3 mature and 3 immature plants per person, 6 and 6 per household. Must be at private residence, not visible from public, secured from minors. County cannot prohibit.
NY Cannabis Law section 222 (enacted by MRTA, Chapter 92 of Laws of 2021) authorizes adults 21+ to cultivate up to 3 mature and 3 immature cannabis plants at their primary residence. Household max: 6 mature + 6 immature. Plants must be secured from persons under 21 and not visible from public-accessible spaces. Home cultivation technically becomes lawful upon Office of Cannabis Management regulations effective for adults (regs finalized 2022-2023). Onondaga County and its towns cannot prohibit home grows; the county can regulate dispensary retail but opted in to cannabis retail statewide framework.
Over plant limit: civil violation up to $125 per plant (Cannabis Law 222). Visible cultivation: civil fine. Sale without license: misdemeanor or felony under Cannabis Law 132.
