Yes. New York legalized adult-use cannabis when the Marihuana Regulation & Taxation Act (MRTA) was signed into law on March 31, 2021, creating the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) to license and regulate the market. Adults 21 and older can buy cannabis from a licensed adult-use dispensary with a valid government ID. Green Apple is a licensed adult-use retailer — the first legal dispensary in Greenpoint — operating under OCM license OCM-RETL-24-000266.

Who can buy

Adult-use cannabis in New York is for adults 21 and older. A valid, government-issued photo ID is required to enter a licensed dispensary and to purchase — there is no medical card needed for adult-use. Buy only from OCM-licensed retailers; unlicensed shops are not part of the legal, tested market.

Possession and purchase limits

New York sets legal possession and purchase limits for adults. Limits and rules can change, so check the OCM for the current figures rather than relying on a number you read elsewhere — the OCM is the authoritative source.

How to know a dispensary is legal

Every licensed New York dispensary has an OCM license number and is listed on the OCM's public registry. Green Apple's is OCM-RETL-24-000266. You can verify any adult-use license on the OCM site before you buy.
