New York State’s Cannabis Control Board (CCB) and the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) announced bold actions to swiftly grow the state’s legal cannabis market.
In addition to a significant expansion of the number of Conditional Adult Retail Dispensary (CAURD) licenses to increase the rate at which retail locations will open across the State, the launch of the “Cannabis Growers’ Showcase” (CGS) was outlined.
CCB said this initiative is a partnership that will enable cannabis growers and existing, licensed retailers to sell cannabis to consumers.
New York State is the first in the nation to allow the sale of cannabis at state and locally sanctioned locations.
Also, in support of the expansion of the legal cannabis market, OCM announced the results of aggressive enforcement action it has taken in the last six weeks following the implementation of new powers granted to the agency by the FY2024 State Budget.
