Licensed cannabis retailers are now free to open new businesses once again.
On Dec. 1, the State Supreme Court lifted an injunction that paused the operations and the processing of new licenses.
On Wednesday, the Office of Cannabis Management held a town hall meeting to discuss the steps moving forward.

“We need your business to succeed. You are one part of a lengthy supply chain,” said Chris Alexander, Executive Director of the Office of Cannabis Management. “We have our small farmers on one side, our processors and you. You are the ones that are interacting with the community. You are the representative of New York cannabis.”
Following the lift of the injunction, the Office of Cannabis Management has resumed approvals for the opening of cannabis businesses. Since Monday, 11 new businesses have been approved to open.
