The NY Cannabis Source of Truth: Law, Regulation, and Reality.
Laws, guidance, inspections, zoning, operations, and compliance, organized into plain-language explanations built for New York cannabis operators.
New York cannabis law is spread across statutes, regulations, guidance, and local rules, often written in legal or technical language that’s hard to follow if you’re not a lawyer.
This wiki exists to translate that information into plain English.
It explains New York and Federal cannabis law, OCM regulations, and related requirements by breaking them down into what the rule covers, who it applies to, and how it’s enforced.
Each page focuses on the law, regulation, or State guidance itself, without forcing you to read through dense legal text or guess what a rule actually means.
The goal is not interpretation or opinion. It’s understanding.
If a regulation affects licensing, zoning, inspections, delivery, labor, advertising, ownership, or compliance, this wiki explains it clearly and ties it back to its original legal source.
This gives you a reliable foundation so you can understand the rules before applying them to your business.
