New York Cannabis Law Section 222 allows adults 21 and older to grow up to three mature and three immature cannabis plants per person at home, capped at six mature and six immature per household, applicable in Suffolk County.
Once OCM authorizes home cultivation rules statewide, New York Cannabis Law Section 222 permits adults 21 and older to cultivate cannabis for personal use at their primary residence. Each adult may grow up to three mature and three immature plants, with a household maximum of six mature and six immature plants regardless of how many adults live there. Plants must be in a secure place not accessible to anyone under 21 and not visible from a public place. Suffolk County and its towns cannot ban personal cultivation but may regulate it via reasonable nuisance, fire, and zoning rules. Sale of home-grown cannabis remains illegal.
Growing more than the allowed number of plants, cultivation visible from public spaces, or any sale of home-grown cannabis can result in state and local civil and criminal penalties.
