Everything you need to know about shopping cannabis safely and legally in Chautauqua County.
Understanding New York’s Cannabis Laws
New York State has legalized adult-use cannabis for those 21 and older. This means adults can purchase cannabis products from licensed dispensaries, but there are rules to follow:
You must show a valid government ID proving you are 21+.
Public consumption is allowed where tobacco smoking is permitted, but local restrictions may apply.
It is illegal to drive under the influence of cannabis.
Cannabis cannot be shipped across state lines.
