In a departure from other states, which strictly limit the consumption of cannabis to private homes or other private spaces, New York allows the smoking of cannabis in any location where smoking cigarettes is allowed.
With limited exceptions, businesses will only be allowed to have one of those kinds of licenses – for example, a processing licensee will not be able to also have a retail dispensing license.
This will be more broadly available and shall authorize the limited cultivation, processing, distribution, delivery, and dispensing of a licensee’s own adult-use cannabis and cannabis products.
As with other permitting and licensing programs in New York, a special effort will be made to include various groups in the license pool.
Those that are interested in participating in this novel industry are well advised to start forming their business plans and preparing for the submission of their license application.
