5 things to know about growing weed at home in New York – https://t.co/wuCPQPK4oA https://t.co/XEnyuwUsTl

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — You can now grow what you bowl with new legislation in New York.
The New York State Cannabis Control Board — the approval and oversight body of the Office of Cannabis Management — this month approved regulations that will allow adult New Yorkers to cultivate weed plants in their homes.
“We’re very excited that these regulations are now moving forward, and the office will be putting out some further guidance on our website, just around the parameters and the rules and regulations, so folks know what is and what is not allowed,” said OCM Chief Operating Officer Patrick McKeage.
Here’s what you need to know to grow, according to a written statement.
Can I grow?
If you’re over 21-years-old, you can grow your own weed at home. However, if you’re under 21 and need weed for medical issues, “a parent/guardian can assign a designated caregiver to grow on your behalf.”
What can I have growing at home?
If you don’t have weed money for dispensary prices, don’t stress. You can cultivate three mature plants and three immature plants at a time, with a maximum of six mature plants and six immature planets per household.
The statement offered ways to cultivate weed at home with safety in mind, as well:
- Using LED lights can help cut back on energy costs and reduce the risk of an electrical overload that could lead to a fire.
- Keep your growing area well-ventilated so that fungus or mold doesn’t grow or infect your crop. Fans, dehumidifiers, and the like are suggested.
- Keep your plants out of the public’s purview so that thieves aren’t tempted to snake some of your weed.
- Keep your weed away from pets and children.
- Don’t try to extract your weed’s properties via a flame.
How much weed can I have at home?
At home, “you can have up to five pounds of trimmed cannabis and the equivalent weight in concentrates in or on the grounds of their private residence.” Keep in mind that though you can have five pounds at home, you can only have 24 ounces of weed concentrates or three ounces of weed on your person while out and about in New York state.
Additionally, whatever you grow at home is meant for you, and you alone: “It is illegal to sell, trade or barter with homegrown cannabis,” the statement warned.
Where can I grow at home?
You can grow your weed wherever you’d like in or on your property, so long as you “own or rent” something “like a room, home, apartment, mobile home, co-op or other residential spaces. Landlords can only refuse to lease space to or penalize a tenant if they risk losing federal benefits.”
Keep in mind that “you must take reasonable measures to prevent cannabis odor from becoming a nuisance to neighboring residents, such as co-planting items like lavender in an outdoor garden or using a carbon filter for indoor cultivation.”
How can I get seeds to grow weed?
You can grab weed seeds from “commercial retailers,” the statement said. Immature plants, on the other hand, “can be purchased from New York licensed dispensaries, microbusinesses, or other entities authorized by the Office of Cannabis Management.”

Biden delivers stark warnings about potential second Trump term at star-studded fundraiser | CNN Politics https://t.co/RAmq6Y2dnV

President Joe Biden delivered a series of stark warnings about what a second Donald Trump term could hold during a star-studded Los Angeles fundraiser Saturday evening, framing the 2024 presidential election as an inflection point in American history.
“Institutions matter,” the president said. “What (Trump) did on January 6, and now he’s literally saying if he doesn’t win there’ll be a bloodbath — it’s outrageous. What he’s talking about is outrageous.”
The fundraiser, which featured former President Barack Obama, raised more than $30 million for Biden’s reelection efforts, a campaign official told CNN. The conversation between Biden and Obama was moderated by television host Jimmy Kimmel.
Biden specifically argued on Saturday evening that the next four years could see openings on the Supreme Court, potentially leading to the appointment of more conservative justices if Trump is reelected.
“The idea that if he’s reelected he’s going to appoint two more flying flags upside down,” Biden said in an apparent reference to a flag that once flew outside the home of Justice Samuel Alito. Asked by Kimmel whether he considered this the scariest part of a second Trump term, Biden responded, “It is one of the scariest parts.”
“The Supreme Court has never been as out of kilter as it is today, I mean never,” the president said, discussing the ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade and how Justice Clarence Thomas said other rulings could be reconsidered, including on contraception. Someone in the crowd interjected, “including gay rights,” to which Biden responded, “Not on my watch.”
The Biden campaign has been looking to boost his financial war chest amid signs Trump is narrowing the money gap. Biden has led Trump in fundraising for most of the year, but the former president has seen a significant influx in cash come his way since securing the Republican nomination in March. Trump outraised Biden for the first time in April.
“We don’t have to just vote against something in this election,” Obama said. “We have someone to worry about. And there’s a whole agenda that we should be concerned about. But we can take pride in affirming the extraordinary work that Joe has done.”
Obama lamented how some in the country have “normalized behavior that used to be disqualifying,” referencing Trump’s recent conviction in his criminal hush money trial.
“We have the spectacle of the nominee of one of the two major parties siting in court and being convicted by a jury of his peers on 34 counts,” Obama said to applause. “His foundation is not allowed to operate because it was engaging in monkey business. … You have his organization being prosecuted for not paying taxes,” Obama said.
Biden interjected, “He paid none.”
When Kimmel asked Biden about “Trump amnesia,” Biden said: “All you got to do is remember what it was like” during Trump’s four years, pointing to Trump’s recommendation that people inject bleach to cure Covid-19.
Obama also urged “those who are conservatively predisposed” – who may not agree with Democrats – to consider the “core values” that shaped the country, like “basic honesty.”
Kimmel asked Obama how he felt about Trump saying he’s done more for Black people than any president in history. Obama replied “One thing he did, for example, was make them feel even better about the first Black president.”
George Clooney and Julia Roberts opened up the night’s program. Barbra Streisand introduced first lady Jill Biden while Jason Bateman, Jack Black, Kathryn Hahn and Sheryl Lee Ralph also entertained the crowd.
As he spoke about a potential second Trump term, Kimmel asked Biden, “What are some things a president can do to, let’s say, a talk show host who has been making fun of him every single night?”
“Ever heard of Delta Force?” Biden joked before striking a more serious tone, “The idea that he’s actually threatened retribution. This is the United States of America. Did you ever think you’d ever, ever, ever hear anything like this? Retribution, that’s what he’s going to do, he’s going to get back at people,” he said.
Kimmel also noted that Biden has said he wanted to restore the soul of the country. “It looks like we might need an exorcism. Is that why you visited the pope?”
“Yeah,” Biden said.
