Responsible Adult Use
Cannabis is for adults 21 and over in New York. A short set of practical guidelines.
Guidelines
Start low and go slow, particularly with edibles and concentrates, where onset and duration differ substantially from inhaled formats.
Never drive or operate machinery after consuming cannabis.
Store products securely and out of reach of children and pets.
Purchase only from licensed New York dispensaries so that products are lab-tested and properly labelled.
Legal notes
Cannabis remains federally illegal in the United States. New York State permits adult-use sales through licensed retailers only.

Composition
Cannabinoids: THC & CBD
Cannabinoids are the primary compounds measured and reported on New York cannabis labels.
