Marijuana possession has not yet been legalized for medical or recreational use in the state of New York. Therefore, marijuana possession in New York can still result in a criminal charge. Recently, the possession of small amounts of marijuana has been decriminalized, meaning that some cases of small possession in which the drug is not in use may only result in a ticket.
