The Trump administration is the Grinch who stole Christmas for thousands of union workers already on the job making wind energy a reality in New York State.

NYS Cannabis Control Board recently approved updated regs for Marketing and Advertising that allow discount and loyalty programs, creating a moment for operators to tell a story about legitimacy, consumer value, and market maturation.

“Discounts, coupons, points-based reward systems, customer loyalty programs, bundled discounts.” Coming to NY dispensary near you now that the CCB has approved new rules. @ccampy highlighting the big change! https://t.co/Kx8EalTM46

New: Proposed order filed today would require @nys_cannabis abide by 2024 guidance to measure 500 feet b/t dispensaries & schools or houses of worship until Feb. 15, 2026.

If signed by judge, hundreds of impacted licensees & applicants would have until then to renew or open.

D.C. TIME: This week the D.C. Board of Elections signed off on a proposed ballot initiative that, if approved by voters, would exempt D.C. from Daylight Saving Time. (The city wouldn't move clocks an hour up every March.) There's still a long ways to the ballot, though.
