From the NYS Office of Cannabis Management,
Adults 21+ can cultivate cannabis at home.
New Yorkers 21 years and older can grow up to six plants in their home for personal use (3 mature plants and 3 immature plants) and a maximum of twelve plants per household (6 mature plants and 6 immature plants), even if there are three or more adults 21 and over in the residence.
- Reasonable measures must be taken to prevent cannabis odor from becoming a nuisance to neighboring residents such as co-planting items like lavender in an outdoor garden or using a carbon filter for indoor cultivation.
- Cannabis plants must be kept in a secure place and not accessible to any person under 21.
- It is illegal to sell, trade or barter with homegrown cannabis.
- The use of flammable materials is prohibited.
