Marijuana Laws
As recorded December 15, 2025 · not verified as current law. New York law
Cannabis laws in Larchmont follow New York’s state law. For travelers, the jurisdiction’s law is the controlling standard—cities usually don’t define cannabis legality.
Recreational cannabis is legal for adults 21 and older. Medical cannabis is also available. Cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law, which can create risks in federal areas or during cross-border travel. Possession and purchase are regulated.
Quick facts
- Recreational: Legal (21+)
- Medical: Legal
- Possession: Up to 3 oz flower
- Buying/Selling: Legal from licensed dispensaries
- Tourists: Permitted with valid ID (21+)
Practical guidance
Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
Law Enforcement
A first Larchmont stop sometimes ended with officers destroying the bag or blunt. A second could bring more attention, particularly if they knew the person. Several weekend speed traps were common in the account. New York’s adult-use rules have since changed, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
Where to Buy Marijuana
The main avenues and school areas were heavily watched and drew lots of younger kids. Drop-offs to a house or a meeting arranged by a friend were the norm. New Rochelle and the Flats in Mamaroneck came up for schwag, and New Rochelle also came up for T’s Haze. Hydro and Haze were more readily available in Larchmont. A small introduction fee of US$5–10 sometimes helped.
Marijuana Prices
- Nickel and dime bags: US$5 and US$10, with nicks becoming harder to find
- US$20 for a dub, commonly around 0.8–1 g of hydro or Haze, or a larger amount of regs
- Schwag: US$20 for a large gram bag, US$60 for a half ounce or US$100–120 for an ounce in one account
- Hydro or Haze: US$40–50 for an eighth or US$200–500 for an ounce. Another quote listed US$120–250 but the weight was unreadable.
- US$170–500 for an ounce across grades. The undersized 0.6–0.7 g bags sold for US$20 were nicknamed DBs.
Types of Marijuana
Schwag could be seedy and give a short-lived high or a headache. Hydro included Sour Diesel, Kush, Jack Herer and White Widow. All sorts of Haze passed through, including purple and silver. T’s Haze was regarded by some as regular Haze with a local name.
More Information
Premature nugs could get the same price as a better batch. Buyers checked quality before handing over money, especially when someone promised to leave and come back with the bag. Blunts, glass bongs, glass pipes and joints were the usual ways people smoked.
