Hey there, valued customers and visitors of Statis Cannabis Bronx Dispensary! We’re thrilled to tell you about the recent updates in NYC’s cannabis legislation and what it means for you. Let’s journey through this together!

Understanding Cannabis in NYC

First things first, let’s revisit what cannabis is. Many people are familiar with cannabis, sometimes called marijuana. It’s right up there next to alcohol in terms of popularity in NYC. Depending on the THC content (the part that gives that distinct “high”), its effects can range from a lovely sense of relaxation to feeling more energetic. Remember, the type of product you choose, like concentrates or oils, can vary in potency, so be sure to ask our experts if you have questions!

What’s New in the Cannabis Law?

NYC’s recent legalization has allowed adults 21 and over to possess up to three ounces of cannabis or 24 grams of concentrated cannabis for personal use. Remember, though, there are places where using cannabis is still off-limits, the good news is that you can now enjoy cannabis in many areas where tobacco smoking is permitted.

Places Where You Cannot Smoke Cannabis

• In a motor vehicle.
• Inside private businesses.
• Anywhere tobacco smoking is prohibited (e.g., restaurant patios or public parks).
• Across state lines.
• On federal land, including national parks and national forests.
• In New York State Parks and other public outdoor spaces (as of 10/13/2022).

Tips for a Safe Cannabis Experience

We want you to enjoy every moment, so here are some safety tips:

Mind Your Dosage:

• Understand Strains and Forms: Cannabis comes in various strains, each with its own unique profile of effects. Whether you’re indulging in Indica, Sativa, or a hybrid, it’s crucial to understand how each might affect you.
• Edibles Need Extra Caution: Edibles can be particularly tricky because their effects are delayed. Unlike smoking, where the impact is almost immediate, edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. It’s easy to overconsume if you think it’s not working. Always start with a small dose and wait for its full effect before considering more.

Avoid Mixing with Other Substances:

• Interactions Can Be Unpredictable: Combining cannabis with alcohol, prescription drugs, or other recreational substances can result in a synergistic effect that’s harder to predict. This might enhance certain effects or introduce new, unwanted ones.
• Stay Informed: If you’re on prescription medications, it’s wise to consult with a healthcare professional about any potential interactions with cannabis.

Prioritize Safety While Driving:

• Impaired Judgement and Reflexes: Under the influence of cannabis, your ability to make split-second decisions can be compromised, and your reaction time may be slowed.
• Stay Put or Get a Ride: If you’ve consumed cannabis, it’s best to stay where you are until its effects have worn off. If you need to go somewhere, consider using public transportation, getting a ride from a sober friend, or using ride-share services.

Keep Cannabis Products Away from Children:

• Childproof Your Stash: Just like medications and cleaning products, make sure your cannabis products, especially edibles, are stored in a secure, childproof container.
• Educate and Inform: Make sure everyone in your household understands the difference between regular food and edibles. It’s easy to mistake them, and this can lead to unintended and potentially harmful consumption.

A Quick Note on CBD

CBD, another cannabis component, is known for its soothing properties without the high. While it’s become quite the trend, it’s good to know that in NYC, you won’t find CBD in food or drinks. As always, check with our team if you have any questions on CBD!
