While New York permits the personal cultivation of cannabis for adults aged 21 and older. The state has outlined several regulations regarding cannabis use and businesses following the state's legalization of adult-use cannabis. New York supports the growth of a fair and equitable cannabis industry, it has implemented restrictions on cannabis business licenses to prevent market saturation and ensure the industry's stability.

The 2018 Farm Bill, which federally legalized hemp and hemp-derived products with a THC concentration of 0.3% or lower, has created a unique workaround for shipping cannabis clones to New York State. This means that our company can ship cannabis clones containing less than 0.3% THC to New York providing access to new genetics while remaining compliant with both state and federal regulations.
As the cannabis landscape continues to evolve, growers and consumers should familiarize themselves with state-specific regulations and federal legislation to ensure a safe and lawful experience.
