Detailed background
New York's Cannabinoid Hemp Program (Cannabis Law §3) runs through the Office of Cannabis Management. The program imposes strict registration, testing, labeling, and packaging rules. New York banned hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoids (delta-8, delta-10, HHC) from non-cannabis retail in 2023 (S 7295). Standard CBD oils and topicals with under 0.3% delta-9 THC remain legal but must comply with NY-specific labeling.
