New York's medical program is provider-discretion based — there's no fixed condition list, no state registration fee, and no physical card. A registered practitioner certifies you, and you buy with that certification plus a photo ID. As of 2026 certifications last two years.
| Legal status | Medical & adult-use |
| Card fee | No state registration or card fee — you pay only the practitioner's consultation fee |
| Card validity | Two years (extended from one year in March 2026), unless your practitioner sets a shorter term |
| Purchase limit | Set by your certifying practitioner; medical limits exceed adult-use |
| Legal forms | Flower, vapes, edibles, tinctures, oils and topicals from licensed medical dispensaries |
| Residency | New York resident, 18+ (minors via a caregiver) |
New York patients may qualify with any of the following. A state-approved physician makes the final call during your evaluation.
