As  it is a privilege under the law to be registered, licensed, or   permitted to cultivate, process, distribute, or sell cannabis, the board   may impose any such further restrictions upon any registrant,  licensee,   or  permittee  in  particular instances as it deems necessary to further   state policy and best serve the public interest. A violation or  failure   of  any  person  registered,  licensed,  or permitted to comply with any   condition, stipulation,  or  agreement,  upon  which  any  registration,   license, or permit was issued or renewed by the board may, in accordance   with  this  chapter  subject  the  registrant, licensee, or permittee to   suspension,  cancellation,  revocation,  and/or   civil   penalties   in   accordance with this chapter, as determined by the board.10.  No  adult-use cannabis or medical cannabis may be imported to, or   exported out of, New York state by a registered  organization,  licensee   or  person  holding  a  license  and/or permit pursuant to this chapter,   until such time as it may become legal  to  do  so  under  federal  law.   Should  it  become  legal  to  do  so  under  federal law, the board may   promulgate such rules and regulations as it deems necessary  to  protect   the  public  and  the  policy of the state, including but not limited to   prioritize and promote New York cannabis. Further, all such cannabis  or   cannabis  products  must  be distributed in a manner consistent with the   provisions of this chapter.11. No  registered  organization,  licensee  or  any  of  its  agents,   servants  or  employees  shall  sell  any  cannabis  product, or medical   cannabis from house to house by means of a truck or otherwise, where the   sale is consummated and delivery made concurrently at the  residence  or   place  of  business  of  a cannabis consumer. This subdivision shall not   prohibit the delivery by a registered organization to certified patients   or their designated  caregivers,  pursuant  to  article  three  of  this   chapter.12.  No  licensee  shall  employ  any  canvasser  or solicitor for the   purpose of receiving an  order  from  a  certified  patient,  designated   caregiver  or  cannabis  consumer  for  any cannabis product, or medical   cannabis at  the  residence  or  place  of  business  of  such  patient,   caregiver  or  consumer,  nor  shall  any licensee receive or accept any   order, for the sale of any cannabis product, or medical  cannabis  which   shall  be  solicited at the residence or place of business of a patient,   caregiver  or  consumer.  This  subdivision  shall  not   prohibit   the   solicitation  by  a  distributor  of  an  order from any licensee at the   licensed premises of such licensee.
