NYS Medical Marijuana Certification Basics

In 2014, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation permitting the use of medical cannabis.

Even though recreational use marijuana, also known as adult-use marijuana, has been legalized in NYS since 2021, we strongly recommend that those who qualify obtain Medical Marijuana Certification and follow the guidance of a licensed physician.

It is also important to know that the products available with Medical Marijuana Certification are not the same as recreation available products and certified patients have access to a greater number of dispensaries.

Furthmore, medical marijuana falls under different taxation guidelines since it is a prescribed medication.

Marijuana is still a controlled substance under Federal Law and we do not in any way promote illegal drugs.
