Earlier this month, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that the New York Cannabis Control Board had approved 52 adult-use Cannabis Conditional Cultivator Licenses across the state. These are the first adult-use cannabis licenses granted.
The move allowed New York's hemp growers to supply the state's adult-use cannabis industry, slated to launch later in 2022. In addition, over 150 requests were submitted to the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) following the March 15 opening of the application portal.
