Cannabis Gifting Guide
New York law permits cannabis gifting between adults with specific restrictions. Covers legal gifting practices and guidelines.
Legal Gifting Rules
New York law permits adults 21 and older to gift cannabis to other adults without payment. You may gift up to 3 ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrate. Gifting to minors under 21 is a criminal offense. Sales disguised as gifts (such as requiring a "donation" or purchasing an overpriced item to receive "free" cannabis) are illegal.
Responsible Gifting
When gifting cannabis, communicate the product type, potency, and suggested dosing to the recipient. Include original packaging with lab testing information when possible. Consider the recipient's experience level when selecting products. Low-dose edibles or CBD products make excellent gifts for less experienced consumers.
