Medical cannabis in New York has grown significantly since legalization occurred in 2016, with the market expanding with adult-use cannabis laws in 2021.
With a robust medical program and a growing list of dispensaries, patients can now access high-quality cannabis products across the state. This article provides a detailed overview of the state’s cannabis history, current regulations, and a comprehensive list of medical marijuana dispensaries operating as of January 2025.
History and Current Regulations of Medical Marijuana in New York State
New York’s cannabis journey began in 2016 with the implementation of its Medical Cannabis Program. This program allowed patients with qualifying conditions to access medical marijuana products, establishing a controlled framework for cannabis use.
In 2021, the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) brought monumental changes by legalizing adult-use cannabis. Key provisions of the MRTA include:
- Legal possession of up to three ounces of cannabis for adults 21 and older.
- Home storage of up to five pounds of cannabis.
- Expanded equity provisions to allocate 50% of cannabis licenses to applicants with social equity status.
The New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) and Cannabis Control Board (CCB) oversee the regulatory framework, ensuring safe and equitable market development. For more details, visit the Office of Cannabis Management.
