Since you’ll be crossing state lines to purchase your marijuana and edibles, it helps to know as much about the process as possible. Here are some factors to consider before making the trip:

Is Weed Legal in Westmere, NY?

As of 2021, it is legal to purchase, own, and consume cannabis recreationally in New York. However, even though the law made recreational dispensaries legal, there are no licensed businesses in the state. So, residents of Westmere and other New York cities must head into Massachusetts for all their cannabis buying needs.

How Much Can I Purchase?

In New York, it’s legal to carry up to three ounces of cannabis flower and 24 grams of concentrated products. However, in Massachusetts, individuals can only have one ounce of flower. Additionally, you can purchase 16 ounces of cannabis-infused products (i.e., edibles) and 72 ounces of liquids.

Can I Take My Cannabis Back Home?

Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, so it’s a felony to take it across state lines. So, you’ll need to use your cannabis while you’re in Massachusetts. Feel free to spend the day in Lee or book a hotel room and spend the night.

Can I Smoke in Public?

In New York, it’s legal to smoke cannabis wherever tobacco products are permitted. However, in Massachusetts, it’s illegal to use cannabis at all on public property.
