thomas Posted March 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 New York cannabis regulations are in limbo. But the pot industry is booming on reservations. And In New York City, unlicensed dispensaries have faced little pushback from law enforcement, despite the Office of Cannabis Management’s attempts to crack down on the rogue dispensaries. Phan, a CBD shop owner in New York City, said in an interview that “90 percent of the people come into my store asking to buy weed right now.” “They heard it’s legal, and they don’t understand we are waiting for regulations,” he said. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/19/native-american-tribes-new-york-cannabis-00016488 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted April 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 New York Governor Kathy Hochul says 52 farms are approved to grow marijuana for the future adult recreational market. The news release from the Governor’s office provides a link to the listing of all the farms that have gained approval so far, but none of the locations or general regions where those farms are situated is included in the listing. Among the farms listed: Main Street Farms LLC which is shown in a search as being located in Cortland, Enfield Glen Hopyard in Tompkins County, Tricolla Gardens in Birkshire and Bone Creek Farm in Deposit. The award of the initial licenses allows growers to start planting for the current growing season prior to the start of legal sale of recreational marijuana. The Office of Cannabis Management will continue to review applications on a rolling basis.

ginger Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Good morning. You can purchase weed legally in the Indian territories. Salamanca has 2 shops open that I've seen. I went to see the graffitti. It's green and yellow. I wasn't sure if I could stop there to snap a photo so I continued on my way home. I can't imagine why the police didn't put a stop to it. Of course, they didn't stop these miscreants from targeting and attacking Mr Solak either. I just don't know what they're thinking. Are all of them informants?

thomas Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Multistate operator Cresco Labs succeeded in its push to get $38 million in tax breaks for a planned cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facility in Ulster County, New York. The board of the Ulster County Industrial Development Agency (UCIDA) voted unanimously to approve the $27.99 million reduction in property taxes over 15 years as well as $10 million in sales-tax exemptions, according to the Daily Freeman of Kingston, New York. Chicago-based Cresco previously said the facility in the town of Wawarsing would provide 375 permanent jobs. NY Cannabis Control Board approves another 58 marijuana cultivators bringing the total number of licensed cultivators across the state to 146.

thomas Posted June 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 New York marijuana regulators on Wednesday took another step toward setting up the state for the launch of its adult-use retail market, approving a series of proposed rules for packaging, labeling, advertising and testing requirements. They also approved 16 additional adult-use cannabis cultivator applications to help ensure the market has enough product when recreational sales launch by the end of this year, raising the total to 162. Members of the Cannabis Control Board (CCB) said that the new rules will help ensure public safety and prevent underage use. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/new-york-marijuana-regulators-approve-rules-on-packaging-advertising-and-testing-as-state-readies-for-adult-use-sales/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted June 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 New York's 1st legal cannabis crop sprouts under the sun Growers like Frank Popolizio of Homestead Farms and Ranch, where a small crew north of Albany earlier this month dug out shallow holes for seedlings before packing them in by hand. “It is an opportunity. There’s obviously going to be a demand for it,” Popolizio said during a break in planting. “And, hopefully, it benefits the farmers. Been a long time since there’s been a real cash crop.” Aside from pests and bad weather, a big challenge to growing cannabis outdoors is the threat of thievery. Homestead’s half acre is not only surrounded by an electrified fence, but it has motion detectors and other security features. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/yorks-1st-legal-marijuana-crop-sprouts-sun-85909310 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Maybe I'll be purchasing marijuana at the Seneca Indian shops for my relative who is in unretractable pain. Nevermind they don't smoke pot. Nevermind they can't stand the smell... SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE! This is where it all starts, isn't it? Can you tell I'm still appalled by this situation?

thomas Posted October 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 NYS lawmaker who helped lead marijuana legalization assesses the progress so far This week the State Office of Cannabis Management will run another round of tours of farms actually growing marijuana. Unlike other legalized marijuana states, New York has split the licenses for growing, processing, and retail. State Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes of Buffalo says, so far, so good. That '150' is the first round of dispensary licenses to be granted by the state office of cannabis management. Eventually, they could partner with a big company which might run multi-state operations and have out-of-state financial backers. But the original licensee must retain 51% equity control to keep it. Last week a spokesman for state cannabis management said a few marijuana dispensaries could open in New York State by the end of the year. But Peoples-Stokes says she's fine with April or May of next year as long as they follow the proper guidelines that she and other lawmakers intended. https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/local/nys-lawmaker-who-helped-lead-marijuana-legalization-assesses-progress-business-buffalo/71-ccef64e3-4348-4377-bcd3-cfbfc160279b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
