“So, Weed’s Legal in New York—Now What?” A Friendly (and Slightly Naughty) Guide from Madame Jane’s

Welcome to Madame Jane’s, Upstate New York’s finest cannabis dispensary with a past as rich as our flower.

Yes, it’s true—our building used to be a brothel. And now? She’s been reborn, still offering indulgence, only this time with a different kind of satisfaction.

So let’s talk about what you can and can’t do now that New York’s gone green—because while Madame Jane loves a good time, she also loves staying out of jail.

1. You Must Be 21+ to Play

This isn’t your college buddy’s dorm stash. This is legal, regulated, grown-with-love cannabis—and you need to be 21 or older to buy it.

Have your ID ready. Madame Jane has high standards (pun extremely intended).

2. How Much Can You Hold Without Raising Eyebrows?

You’re allowed:

• 3 ounces of flower (that’s like… a velvet satchel full of joy)
• Or 24 grams of concentrate (tiny but mighty)

Enough to enjoy yourself responsibly—not enough to open a speakeasy in your basement.

3. Where Can You Smoke It Without Being “That Guy”

Basically, you can smoke cannabis anywhere you can legally smoke tobacco.

• On the sidewalk? Sure, wave at the mailman.
• In your car? Nope.
• At your kid’s soccer game? Absolutely not, Susan.

Discretion is sexy. Madame Jane would light up on a moonlit balcony with jazz in the background, not in the Taco Bell drive-thru.

4. Drive Sober, Sweetheart

Do not drive high. Just don’t.

It’s illegal, dangerous, and a surefire way to kill the vibe (and possibly your license). Madame Jane’s rule of thumb:

If you feel like floating, you shouldn’t be behind a wheel.

5. Can You Grow Your Own? Oh Yes, You Can.

Good news, green thumbs—home cultivation is officially legal in New York for adults 21 and over!

You can now grow:

• Up to 6 cannabis plants per person (3 mature, 3 immature)
• 12 plants total per household, max

So yes, your dream of a little weed garden next to your tomatoes is now completely legit. Just keep it secure, out of reach of kids and nosy neighbors, and don’t turn your backyard into a full-blown grow-op.

Madame Jane loves a bit of DIY—as long as it’s done with style, care, and maybe a little incense.

6. Keep It In New York

Thinking of bringing your stash to Jersey, Pennsylvania, or your cousin’s wedding in Connecticut?

Don’t.

Crossing state lines with cannabis is still illegal. Madame Jane may be rebellious, but she’s not a fool.

7. No Selling on the Side

Gifting cannabis to another adult? Go for it—Madame Jane loves a generous spirit.

But selling it without a license? That’s a one-way ticket back to the kind of legal trouble we left behind in the brothel days.

To Sum It Up:

Cannabis is legal. You’re grown. But there are rules—and Madame Jane strongly suggests you follow them if you want to stay high and free.

Now come visit us. Whether you’re a flower enthusiast, a gummy gourmet, or just curious—we’re here with open arms, a little sass, and some seriously good weed.

Yours in high society,

Madame Jane
