Section  1.  Short title. This chapter shall be known and may be cited   and referred to as the "cannabis law".
NY Cannabis § 2 (2021)
2021 New York Laws CAN - Cannabis Article 1 - Short Title; Legislative Findings and Intent; Definitions 2 - Legislative Findings and Intent.

§  2.  Legislative  findings  and  intent.  The legislature finds that   existing marihuana laws have not been beneficial to the welfare  of  the   general  public.  Existing  laws  have  been  ineffective in reducing or   curbing  marihuana  use  and  have  instead  resulted   in   devastating   collateral  consequences  including mass incarceration and other complex   generational trauma, that inhibit  an  otherwise  law-abiding  citizen's   ability  to  access  housing,  employment opportunities, and other vital   services. Existing laws  have  also  created  an  illicit  market  which   represents  a  threat  to  public  health and reduces the ability of the   legislature to deter the accessing  of  marihuana  by  minors.  Existing   marihuana  laws  have  disproportionately  impacted African-American and   Latinx communities.The intent of this act is to regulate,  control,  and  tax  marihuana,   heretofore  known  as  cannabis,  generate significant new revenue, make   substantial investments in  communities  and  people  most  impacted  by   cannabis  criminalization to address the collateral consequences of such   criminalization, prevent access to cannabis by those under  the  age  of   twenty-one  years,  reduce  the  illegal  drug market and reduce violent   crime, reduce participation of otherwise  law-abiding  citizens  in  the   illicit  market,  end the racially disparate impact of existing cannabis   laws, create  new  industries,  protect  the  environment,  improve  the   state's  resiliency to climate change, protect the public health, safety   and welfare  of  the  people  of  the  state,  increase  employment  and   strengthen New York's agriculture sector.Nothing  in  this  act  is  intended  to  limit  the  authority of any   district, government agency or office or employers to enact and  enforce   policies pertaining to cannabis in the workplace; to allow driving under   the  influence  of  cannabis;  to allow individuals to engage in conduct   that endangers others; to allow smoking cannabis in any  location  where   smoking tobacco is prohibited; or to require any individual to engage in   any  conduct  that  violates  federal  law  or to exempt anyone from any   requirement  of  federal  law  or  pose  any  obstacle  to  the  federal   enforcement of federal law.The  legislature  further  finds  and  declares that it is in the best   interest of the state to regulate medical cannabis, adult-use  cannabis,   cannabinoid  hemp and hemp extracts under independent entities, known as   the cannabis control board and the office of cannabis management.
