You Can’t Give Weed Away for Free in New York – Top Regulator Says ‘Gifting’ Cannabis is Illegal

Now that the Chairman has made the stance of the control board clear, there is still a bit of uncertainty on what the penalties will be and the severity of the penalties. Chairman Tremaine Wright has gone on record while speaking to WXXI to state that individuals who do not stop the practice are a risk of severe financial penalties. Chemung County has one establishment that openly gifts out cannabis and the executive assistant district attorney has had a say on the matter too recently. Susan Rider-Ulacco has come forward to say concerning her county that while no actions have been taken by officials so far, there could be law enforcement actions on them in the future.
