Now that adult-use marijuana is legal in New York State, questions arise about people on probation or parole being able to partake. People who were previously convicted of marijuana offenses have had their records expunged, but what about people who go to jail for other offenses. Are they able to smoke weed or use cannabis products while they are out on bail? New York State law thankfully provides a clear cut answer to those questions,
Section 127 of New York State Law (Protections for the use of cannabis; unlawful discriminations prohibited) says,
A person currently under parole, probation or other state supervision, or released on recognizance, non-monetary conditions, or bail prior to being convicted, shall not be punished or otherwise penalized for conduct allowed under this chapter unless the terms and conditions of said parole, probation, or state supervision explicitly prohibit a person’s cannabis use or any other conduct otherwise allowed under this chapter.
