Mosca offers a wide selection of cannabis seeds in New York, the 15th state to legalize recreational marijuana in 2021. Now that marijuana is legal in New York, it is the perfect time to learn more about growing your own marijuana and where to get the best cannabis seeds in the Empire State.
Is Marijuana Legal in New York?
The New York Governor signed legislation in March of 2021, the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act, making weed legal in New York State. The legislation established the Office of Cannabis Management to oversee all matters related to legalized marijuana, including medical, recreational, and hemp. The new legislation legalized possessing, purchasing, and transporting up to 3 ounces of marijuana and up to 24 g of concentrate for adults 21 years of age and older.
Can I Grow Pot in New York?
There is now a framework for legal home growing of marijuana, although it will take some time to iron out the details and guidelines for the cultivation, production, and sale of marijuana in New York. In previous attempts to legalize marijuana, the governor had been opposed to New Yorkers growing their own pot unless it was for medical use. Recent legislation changed that, and now under the new law, adults 21 and over will be allowed to grow up to six plants (three mature and three immature), or a maximum of 12 plants (six mature, six immature), for households with more than one adult.
When allowed, home cultivation of cannabis plants in New York requires all plants to be kept in a secure place that is not accessible to anyone under the age of 21. It must be intended for personal use and cannot be sold to anyone. It is illegal to make cannabis concentrates or hash oil with alcohol, butane, or propane.
Home cultivation is not yet allowed, however, and will be permitted only after the Office of Cannabis Management issues home cultivation regulations. This was supposed to occur within 18 months of the first legal retail sale.
Home cultivation for New York medical marijuana patients is currently permitted, allowing patients and caregivers to cultivate medical cannabis at home.
History of Pot Legalization in the Empire State
Medical marijuana has been legal in New York since 2014 under New York’s Compassionate Care Act which allowed the possession, manufacture, delivery, use, transportation, and administration of medical marijuana by designated caregivers and patients. In addition to a medical marijuana program, New York decriminalized marijuana in 2019.
State legislators wishing to legalize recreational marijuana had been unable to iron out differences around social equity, race, and enforcement of cannabis laws until recently. The new law directs 40% of the tax revenues from marijuana sales to go toward helping minority communities that have been hurt disproportionately by drug prosecutions. Automatic expungement is included in the legislation for those who were convicted of acts that are no longer considered illegal.
Under the new law, towns, villages, and cities can block retail marijuana stores and consumption licenses for local businesses. Local governments cannot, however, opt out of allowing adults to consume marijuana.
While we wait for the regulations on home growing to take effect, both medical marijuana patients and recreational users can start thinking about the types of cannabis seeds they want to grow in New York.
Types of Cannabis Seeds in New York
It used to be that regular cannabis seeds were the only choice we had to grow our own marijuana. Regular cannabis seeds have not been genetically altered to determine the gender of the plant and produce both male and female marijuana plants. Only the female plant produces the beautiful buds we love, and when cultivating with regular marijuana seeds, the grower must weed out all of the male plants or risk ruining the entire crop.
Feminized Cannabis Seeds in New York
Feminized cannabis seeds are exactly that, cannabis seeds that guarantee you will grow a female plant. When growing your own marijuana with feminized seeds, you can dedicate more time to caring for your plants. Feminized seeds are a good choice for beginners who do not have to worry about identifying the gender to weed out the males.
Auto-Flowering Cannabis Seeds in New York
Auto-flowering cannabis seeds are also nice for beginners because they automatically enter into their flowering cycle regardless of changes in lighting. Typically, a reduction in light exposure causes marijuana plants to enter the flowering stage. With auto flowers, you can be sure your plants will start to bud within a specific timeframe instead of altering your lighting schedule.
