Cannabis Gifting Laws in New York

Can you give cannabis as a gift in New York? Understanding the rules around cannabis gifting.

In New York, adults 21 and older can gift cannabis to other adults 21 and older without compensation. You can gift up to 3 ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrated cannabis at a time. However, it is illegal to sell cannabis without a license — so-called "gifting" operations that sell an overpriced item (like a sticker or cookie) and include "free" cannabis are illegal and subject to enforcement. True gifting means no exchange of money, goods, or services. When gifting, ensure the recipient is 21 or older and aware of what they are receiving. For the safest, highest-quality cannabis gifts, purchase from a licensed dispensary like Jungle Kingdom Flower.
