“The legalization of adult-use cannabis is an enormous public policy shift affecting many facets of society. The regulatory framework outlined in the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act will take time to develop and will require input from communities and stakeholders throughout the state of New York. The Office of Cannabis Management will need to draft and issue regulations to implement the law in order for adult-use sales to begin. However, while there are currently no stores open to purchase adult-use cannabis, the possession and use of cannabis for adults 21 years of age and older in accordance with the MRTA, is now legal.” – Office of Cannabis Management
