The court issued an injunction stopping the state from processing new applications for retail licenses.
It continues a temporary stop in response to a lawsuit filed by four veterans claiming they were illegally passed over for licenses.
They accuse regulators of unlawfully prioritizing applicants with prior drug convictions while excluding others.Carmine Fiore, suing New York over its cannabis law, says veterans were"cast aside" during retail licensing process"I feel like veterans were used to get a law passed, and a good law, one that helps many citizens and the state as well. But once that law was passed, I feel like we were cast aside for a separate agenda," he said.
The injunction effectively puts the state's marijuana dispensary approval process on pause indefinitely.
