Medical marijuana is changing the lives of many who are facing medical challenges in Rochester. Current MMJ laws allow patients with qualifying health conditions to access medical marijuana.
A vital part of the medical marijuana program of the state is making sure that there are licensed and certified cannabis doctors who can help these patients be qualified.
The first step to using medical marijuana is to have your condition qualified by the state as well as a medical cannabis recommendation from an mmj doctor.

The law in legalizing medical marijuana in the Empire State was enforced in 2014 under New York’s Compassionate Care Act. This law permits the possession, use, manufacture, delivery, transport, and administration of medical marijuana by patients and designated caregivers. Licensed medical marijuana doctors trained to prescribe cannabis are allowed to do so when they agree that their patients could benefit from it.
On March 31, 2021, the State passed the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act legalizing the purchase, possession, and transport of up to 3 ounces or 85 grams of cannabis and up to 24 grams of concentrate for adults 21 and older.
Currently, the Office of Cannabis Management oversees all related manners to marijuana, including the State’s existing Medical Marijuana Program. Under this law, the provisions are as follows:
Opioid use disorder for which conventional therapeutic interventions are contraindicated or ineffective, or for which adjunctive therapy is indicated in combination with primary therapeutic interventions
Lawful possession – the amount of medical cannabis allowed to be possessed by a certified patient will increase from a thirty (30) day supply to a sixty (60) day supply as determined by the patient’s practitioner.
For other provisions under the MRTA, check the statement from the Office of Cannabis Management in New York.
