New York Cannabis Law allows adults twenty-one or older to grow a limited number of cannabis plants at their primary residence, and Buffalo households cannot exceed the per-person and per-household caps set statewide.
Once OCM finalizes home-grow regulations, NY Cannabis Law permits adults twenty-one or older to cultivate up to three mature and three immature cannabis plants at their primary residence, with a household cap of six mature and six immature plants regardless of how many adults live there. Plants must be in a secure location not visible from a public place, and tenants in Buffalo apartments must follow any reasonable landlord rules. Medical cannabis patients and caregivers can grow under separate, often more generous, OCM rules.
Exceeding the household cap, growing visible plants, or cultivating before OCM regulations take effect can trigger civil penalties, plant seizure, and potential misdemeanor charges.
