Hey all! I've been living in a building full of potheads for years and am about to move. I've never had a problem smoking at home in all my years in NYC, but just in case, I am trying to find out if it's legal to smoke in your own home in NYC. Does anyone know, or does anyone know where to find out? All the stuff I've been able to find so far is penalties for selling... Assistance would be greatly appreciated!!! Xenara
dude pots not legal in any way, even medical. if a cop finds medcal they charge you with possesion, whether in a state that has legal medical mj. which makes you question why they even have it. pots not legal when your smoking at home or in any way, the laws here are getting tougher. so it wont be changing anytime soon.
In a New York City Co-Op Apartment, The Board may even outlaw cigarette smoking in the entire building.
I'd thought it was illegal to sell and posess on the street, but I thought it might be legal to have small amounts in your home. Thanks for the answers. I figure I'll be subtle in my new apartment and hope for the best as always. Gotta get some new pipes! Xenara
its definitely not legal but everyone smokes in their apartment so you shouldnt have a problem.. light a incense or something
yeah when i lived in toronto everyone smoked up in their appts. my sister was the super. there and there was really no issue lol
New York Laws:: Possession 25 g or less (first offense) is just a fine of $100 bucks, I doubt any cop is going to be kicking in your door for a simple civil citation. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Should you live in Nazi Jersey, you would be looking at a $1,000 dollar fine, and possibly getting incarcerated for 6 months. Go figure.
