NY’s Office of Cannabis Management to Get Overhaul Amid Botched Program Roll-out

May 13, 2024 by Jeff Lewis

New York state’s embattled cannabis program is getting a fresh start after the governor announced a shake-up of top management thanks to a botched rollout of the program. An investigation found inefficiencies at the very top of the Office of Cannabis Management, resulting in a dragged-out licensing process for retailers and the growth of illicit weed shops statewide. Governor Kathy Hochul acknowledged Friday for some applicants looking to sell marijuana legally in the state, it’s been a disaster…

Rockland Sheriff Lou Falco has been critical of the state’s marijuana plans, and prior to the governor’s announcement, Falco told “The Morning Show” earlier this month there will always be black markets for drugs…

Falco is also not happy with the Biden administration’s plan to loosen federal regulations on marijuana. The change would make marijuana use and possession a less serious crime at the federal level, though not a complete decriminalization.
