Under New York Cannabis Law and Public Health Law, adults over 21 may smoke or vape cannabis anywhere tobacco smoking is allowed, but Suffolk County parks and many town beaches prohibit smoking, effectively banning cannabis use there.
New York legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021 via the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act, allowing consumption by adults 21 and older wherever tobacco smoking is permitted. NY Public Health Law Section 1399-n, the Clean Indoor Air Act, prohibits smoking in workplaces, restaurants, bars, and many enclosed public spaces, applying equally to cannabis. Suffolk County parks ban tobacco smoking, so cannabis is also prohibited there. Driving under the influence of cannabis remains illegal, and possession remains restricted to three ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrate.
Smoking cannabis in prohibited public spaces such as Suffolk County parks, beaches, or near restaurants risks civil fines; impaired driving carries DUI charges with license suspension.
