New York’s budding cannabis industry is getting some extra help thanks to a specialty showroom opening this weekend aimed at guiding retailers through the ins-and-outs of the business, and no, cannabis products won’t be sold.
About a dozen of the 36 licenses announced went to businesses within the five boroughs. The regulations then advance to a 60-day public comment period.
The state Office of Cannabis Management says it reviewed 900 applicants in whittling down its annual approval list to the 36 unveiled last month. Applicants in the initial round had to demonstrate “a significant presence in New York state."State lawmakers designed the legal market to make sure the first retailers were people directly affected by drug law enforcement.
New York's first-ever adult cannabis retail pop-up showroom runs until Sunday at the historic Bronx Post Office, where organizers can gain end-to-end retail experience, technical training, as well as navigate and learn from a workforce development fair and community groups. NY’s cannabis regulator says storefronts already accepting payment for marijuana are jumping the gun, but plenty of businesses are doing it. How do they get away with it? Chris Glorioso found weed entrepreneurs daring New York to shut them down, because they believe the licensing process is rigged to favor big business.
