The State of New York is one of thirteen states that penalizes first-offense possession of a modest amount of marijuana with a fine instead of possible jail time. First offense of marijuana possession of up to twenty-five grams is punishable by a $100 civil citation. First offense possession of between twenty-five grams and two ounces carries a $500 fine and up to three months in jail.

In a recent legislation session, Senator Diane Savino and Assemblyman Richard Gottfried have introduced twin medical marijuana measures that would allow qualified patients to possess and purchase marijuana for medicinal purposes. These two measures are entitled S4406 and A6357. Under these measures, patients would be able to designate caregivers to assist them and could purchase marijuana from a registered organization.
