Bill > A01293

This bill makes two key changes to New York's cannabis law: First, it allows out-of-state medical cannabis patients to use their medical cannabis in New York under certain conditions, provided they have legitimate documentation from their home state and comply with New York's legal limits on medical cannabis possession, delivery, and production. The cannabis control board is authorized to develop regulations for this reciprocity and potentially create reciprocity agreements with other states that have medical cannabis programs. Second, the bill directs the cannabis control board to create regulations specifically for approving pre-roll (pre-rolled cannabis cigarette) products within the state's medical cannabis program. This means out-of-state medical cannabis patients will now have a legal pathway to use their medical cannabis while visiting New York, and the medical cannabis program will have a standardized process for introducing pre-rolled cannabis products. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
