New York marijuana regulators have formally approved rules to allow adults 21 and older to grow their own cannabis plants for personal use.
About four months after the Cannabis Control Board (CCB) gave preliminary approval to the rules and subsequently opened them up to public comment, members adopted the final regulations on Tuesday.
The rules will allow adults to grow up to six plants for personal use, only three of which can be mature at one time. A residence with multiple adults can have a maximum of 12 plants, and people can possess up to five pounds of marijuana derived from the plants.
Retailers will be able to sell clones, seedlings, immature plants, cloned propagation material and tissue culture to adult consumers.
There are also requirements on storing the plants and remediating any odors “if they become a nuisance to neighbors.”
The rules will take effect once they’re published in the state register, which could take several weeks.
These changes will also allow licensed adult-use dispensaries, microbusinesses, registered organizations, RONDs, and RODs to offer immature cannabis plants for sale.
