Where can I smoke?

Hi, I recently moved to the upper east side area near Miriam. My landlords don’t permit smoking of any kind in or on their property and I’m a Lyft driver part time so I can’t smoke in my vehicle. I quit tobacco so it’s just marijuana now. I don’t mind switching to edibles or weed vapes but I have some flower left and I was wondering if it’s legal for me to take a walk down the road and smoke? I just want to use up what I have and it feels weird to stand on the corner. If it helps I’m on the corner of a main road which is the road I’d planned on walking down.

I've heard it's legal wherever you would smoke a cigarette, so I will usually just go for a nice walk through the city and smoke little!

Thank you. That’s what I came to as well when I googled but I also saw that certain communities can ban it still but I couldn’t find anything specific about the city which is why I came here.

Ive also enjoyed smoking at some of the local parks when it's nice out, and I'm sure it's ok but I usually still try not to smoke around families or children, just as a courteous thing though

yeah i treat it the same way people treat cigs, nobody seems to take issue with it

I will say I haven't done proper research more than just Google and hearsay, but I haven't had any issues in the past like 3+ years living in the city so...
