Ithaca DWI Lawyer: New York Dangers of Possessing Concentrated Cannabis

Hash Oil is Potent

New York State has a special set of laws and regulations for marijuana. In fact, a small quantity of pot  is merely a violation in New York State. It's called UPM (unlawful possession of marijuana) under NY penal law section 220.05 Any amount from resin (yes resin in a pot) to 25 grams is still UPM in New York.

But be mindful that even resin Unlawful Possession can still carry many collateral consequences outside of court like ineligibility for Federal students grants, loans, and aid. What's far worse than garden day variety weed is concentrated marijuana.

How does New York define concentrated cannabis and how is that different than being charged with a Penal law section 221.05 UPM?
