(4/4) As we entered the summer growing season, and with dispensaries opening weekly, it seemed only right to check in on the supply chain. To read more: cany.org/cany-in-the-news-me…

Our NY cannabis farmers deserve better. #NoNYFarmsNoNYCannabis #420Day cityandstateny.com/policy/20…

Sorry to harsh the vibe, but all is not well in New York cannabis

Weed farmers, left out of the state budget, fear they won’t survive.

(2/3) Based on the current pace of licensing to date, we are suggesting that any new expansion should be based on data driven research and at a minimum, should have input from our members, industry operators and stakeholders.

(1/3) The state has promised to issue 1500 licenses this year. We, the CANY Board of Directors, believe those licenses should be issued as quickly as possible. Internal discussion in the industry is circulating about the expansion of the licensing pool beyond that number.

I'm glad @GovKathyHochul can finally publicly admit this. When I sat down with her last year, I expressed my deep concerns about the rollout and begged her to get more involved. If only leadership in the Assembly and Senate were able to do the same, we could fix this TODAY.

Great article! And great to see that @GovKathyHochul is engaged and is going to be active in this rollout... she can make it happen!

The Office of Cannabis Management hastily canceled today’s board meeting that would have approved 3 new retail licenses, saying they wanted time to approve more. But an email obtained by @THECITYNY suggests the meeting was canceled at request of Gov Hochul thecity.nyc/2024/01/24/canna…

Thank you @DonnaLupardo for your unwavering support of our farmers! NY State needs to do this make things right, since the botched rollout is not of their making. We also applaud @SenatorHinchey, @NYSenatorRivera and @SenatorCooney for their support of this action.

I’m still pushing for a Recompense Fund for our struggling farmers. In the meantime, we should license everyone ready to open legal cannabis dispensaries. syracuse.com/marijuana/2024/…

It's always great to see the Cannabis Control Board come together to have a robust conversation about the state of the adult use rollout, as they did today in their meeting which lasted almost a minute and 45 seconds.... @nys_cannabis @LizKrueger @CPeoplesStokes @GovKathyHochul

Will the legislature and Governor step in and fix this? This debacle all started with the horrible idea to involve DASNY in the process and it has been a series of mishaps since then.

Extrapolating the numbers, our sales SHOULD have been $9.5 BILLION Dollars. Lots of room to improve, when our market matures a little, look out!

New Mexico "reported a total of more than a half-billion dollars in overall cannabis purchases in the state's first full year of the legal recreational market." NM has a pop of 2 mil. NY, with 19 Mil , did $150m in sales. We need to do better. @nys_cannabis @GovKathyHochul
