How to Safely Enjoy Your Cannabis After Leaving Stoops
Here’s what to know about consuming, storing, and traveling with cannabis products in New York City so you can stay safe and legal:
1. Where You Can Legally Consume
In NYC, you can smoke or vape cannabis anywhere tobacco use is allowed like sidewalks, some parks, and certain outdoor public spaces.
Cannabis consumption is prohibited in:
Cars (even parked ones)
Workplaces and businesses
Restaurants and bars (including outdoor patios)
Federal property (including public housing)
Most hotels and Airbnbs (always check with your host or front desk)
2. Safe & Legal Storage
Keep your products in original packaging until you’re ready to use them.
For flower, pre-rolls, and edibles, store them in cool, dry places away from kids and pets—lockable smell-proof containers are highly recommended.
If you’re driving, never open or consume cannabis in the car. Open container laws apply to cannabis just like alcohol.
3. Know Your Possession Limits
Adults 21+ can legally carry:
Up to 3 ounces of cannabis flower
Up to 24 grams of concentrates
Carrying more than the legal limit can lead to fines or penalties, even if you bought it legally.
4. Travel & Federal Laws
Cannabis is still illegal under federal law. That means you cannot:
Take cannabis across state lines
Bring it into airports or onto planes (even if it’s legal where you’re flying)
Consume it in New York, and leave it in New York.
5. Don’t Drive Under the Influence
New York treats cannabis DUIs the same as alcohol DUIs. Always plan a safe ride home if you plan on consuming right after leaving the dispensary.
