NEW YORK (PIX11) -- New Yorkers are now allowed to grow marijuana in their homes, according to the New York State Office of Cannabis Management.
The law allows adults 21 years or older to grow three mature and three immature cannabis plants at a time, with homes being limited to no more than six of each, the OCM said.
New Yorkers are also allowed to have up to five pounds of trimmed weed "and the equivalent weight in concentrates" in their home or on their property, according to officials.
Those looking to grow cannabis can do so in any residence they "own or rent, like a room, home, apartment, mobile home, co-op or other residential spaces," the OCM said.
"Landlords can only refuse to lease space to or penalize a tenant if they risk losing federal benefits," according to the OCM.
New Yorkers are only allowed to have up to three ounces of weed and 24 grams of concentrate on them while in the state.
