No, but there are many dispensaries in NYS, most of which will deliver to your door.  According to the New York state medical marijuana program, users of medical marijuana are allowed to consume it in the following forms: chewables, edibles, tablets, topical lotions, patches, ointments, capsules, oils, inhalers, or vaporizers.  Ask your medical practitioner for recommendations of dispensaries in your area.

Governor Cuomo signed New York’s Compassionate Care Act (S7923) in July, 2014.

Medical marijuana has been found to be one of the safest methods of treating pain.  When people take THC or CBD (cannabidiol, the second most abundant compound in cannabis) for the relief of pain the endocannabinoid receptors can actually stop or seriously limit the pain impulses coming up to the brain from injured or swollen muscles, joints, nerves and skin or intestinal tissue. In addition, CBD works directly in those tissues to decrease or eliminate the inflammation that is such an integral part of the pain cycle. This is another difference with opioids as they have no anti-inflammatory pr

Cannabis can help treat patients addicted to opiates and help with their withdrawal symptoms. There are no cannabis receptors in the brain areas involved with respiration, unlike the many receptors for morphine in those areas. Intentionally or accidentally taking too many opiates can cause overdose and death. On the other hand there is no risk of overdosing from taking too much cannabis for treatment of pain and, in fact, there have been no documented overdoses from cannabis, ever.

The Big Apple and the rest of the Empire State took its first taste from medical marijuana in 2014, when Governor. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation into law. Since then the law was signed, Gov. Cuomo has been going above and beyond in his efforts to allow recreational use of cannabis as well as hosting an Pot Summit in 2019 with other East Coast governors.
