New York Has Legalized The Use Of Cannabis For Adults. Now What?
Time to make some good money, that’s what. But as with every other type of business in New York, comprehensive regulations will apply. While the state wants to promote economic development through the recreational and medical marijuana industry – and is encouraging small businesses and communities in New York City to participate – social equity and public health and safety are paramount.
Under the New York’s Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA), recreational marijuana, or cannabis, is now legal for use by adults at least 21 years old. The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is handling licensing of the growing and selling of cannabis in the state. Cultivators, distributors, processors and dispensaries will have to meet strict standards of lab testing, packaging and labeling products. Working with a business and commercial law attorney who knows how to navigate the field of ever-changing municipal rules and regulations will be vital to the lifecycle of your cannabis business. If you are seeking to invest in or open a cannabis business, speak with an experienced business law attorney. Email Steven or call Simicich Law at 646-679-1141 for a consultation.
