It is decriminalized for the possession of small amounts.

~No, it is not legal. "Decriminalization" means that if you posess less than than 25 grams, you are arrested for a violation, not a crime, and, barring any narcotics or drug convictions during the preceeding 3 years, you pay a fine but you can't get jail time. However, as soon as you share a bowl or a joint or give some weed to a friend, you are guilty of a misdemeanor sale and lighting up in a public place is a crime.

Smoking marijuana is prohibited as nicely with the different unlawful drug right here in NYC whether you have the flexibility to smoke it out doors, there continually would be some straightforward clothed or undercover police officer which will arrest you for possession and use.
