Moreover, seeds and immature plants for home cultivation are also available for sale to certified patients or their designated caregivers at some registered organizations dispensing locations. 

It’s important to note that possession limits may vary based on the specific needs and treatment plans determined by the healthcare provider during the certification process. 

Cultivation and responsible use of medical cannabis in New York

Here are the key details:

  • Certified patients can designate only one caregiver to grow cannabis on their behalf.
  • Cultivation is limited to the private residence of the certified patient or designated caregiver. This can include owned or rented residences but excludes locations like assisted living facilities or rehabilitation centers.
  • A certified patient is allowed to cultivate, harvest, and dry a maximum of 3 mature and 3 immature plants.
