Getting started

9 NYCRR Part 125 establishes the core operating requirements for New York cannabis licensees. It governs environmental standards, site and security plans, employee training, inventory tracking, transport, waste destruction, inspections, audits, and recordkeeping obligations that OCM enforces during compliance reviews.

MRTA Article 6, Sections 125, 132, 133, 136, 137, 138-A. These sections govern civil penalties, license suspension and revocation, prohibited ownership, and the definition of illicit cannabis. Operators encounter these rules any time compliance breaks down, ownership is questioned, or products fall outside the regulated system.

All cannabis products sold in New York must meet strict packaging and labeling standards. This page outlines required THC disclosures, child resistant rules, universal symbol placement, prohibited designs, and the retailer’s duty to verify that labels match Certificates of Analysis before products reach the shelf.
