We actively advocate for laws and regulations that support a restorative, sustainable, and inclusive cannabis industry for our 550+ members.

(4/4) As we entered the summer growing season, and with dispensaries opening weekly, it seemed only right to check in on the supply chain.

(3/4) Future surveys will continue to monitor sentiment among CANY members, who come from every corner of the industry, and will highlight timely issues.

[Cannabis Association of New York @thinkcany]

(2/4) This is our first of what will be quarterly surveys of our members as we work to understand their concerns and continuously find ways to support them.

[Cannabis Association of New York @thinkcany]

(1/4) A survey of CANY members conducted in June highlighted concerns over supply issues, however, overall found optimism among operators.

(3/3) Please see our letter to the Cannabis Advisory Board below.

[Cannabis Association of New York @thinkcany]

(2/3) Based on the current pace of licensing to date, we are suggesting that any new expansion should be based on data driven research and at a minimum, should have input from our members, industry operators and stakeholders.

[Cannabis Association of New York @thinkcany]

(1/3) The state has promised to issue 1500 licenses this year. We, the CANY Board of Directors, believe those licenses should be issued as quickly as possible. Internal discussion in the industry is circulating about the expansion of the licensing pool beyond that number.

Statement from CANY's Damien Cornwell on licensing fee waivers for cannabis cultivators:

[NYS Office of Cannabis Management @nys_cannabis]

The second round of adult-use cannabis licenses from the 2023 licensing application window has been approved by the #NYCCB.

Today, 114 adult-use applications have met all necessary requirements outlined in the Cannabis Law and regulations.

Where does the buck ultimately stop?

[Hal McCabe @MayorHal]

I'm glad @GovKathyHochul can finally publicly admit this. When I sat down with her last year, I expressed my deep concerns about the rollout and begged her to get more involved.

If only leadership in the Assembly and Senate were able to do the same, we could fix this TODAY.

[Cannabis Association of New York @thinkcany]

@GovKathyHochul has made no secret of her unhappiness with New York State's rollout of the legalization of cannabis.

"It's a disaster," the governor told The Buffalo News editorial board last week. "I will not defend that for one second." @nys_cannabis

Great article! And great to see that @GovKathyHochul is engaged and is going to be active in this rollout... she can make it happen!

[Rosalind Adams @RosalindZAdams]

The Office of Cannabis Management hastily canceled today’s board meeting that would have approved 3 new retail licenses, saying they wanted time to approve more. But an email obtained by @THECITYNY suggests the meeting was canceled at request of Gov Hochul https://t.co/4CNlucZOdG

[Cannabis Association of New York @thinkcany]

Thank you
@DonnaLupardo for your unwavering support of our farmers! NY State needs to do this make things right, since the botched rollout is not of their making. We also applaud @SenatorHinchey, @NYSenatorRivera and @SenatorCooney for their support of this action.

[Donna Lupardo @DonnaLupardo]

I’m still pushing for a Recompense Fund for our struggling farmers. In the meantime, we should license everyone ready to open legal cannabis dispensaries. https://t.co/V1KXNs35F2

Tick tock, Mr. Wick... @GovKathyHochul @CPeoplesStokes @LizKrueger @SenatorCooney

[Cannabis Association of New York @thinkcany]

It's always great to see the Cannabis Control Board come together to have a robust conversation about the state of the adult use rollout, as they did today in their meeting which lasted almost a minute and 45 seconds.... @nys_cannabis @LizKrueger @CPeoplesStokes @GovKathyHochul
