NY Cannabis Insider’s week in legal weed for May 20, 2023

NY Cannabis Insider would like to thank everyone who attended the Problems and Solutions Summit on Thursday.

We tried something different at the event. Attendees were asked to participate in discussions about the state's adult-use cannabis roll out with the help of a professional mediation company. We talked about how to create a weed industry that works for everyone.

We published a lot of great content over the course of the week. We covered a lot of different stories.

The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York's involvement with the state's cannabis industry was the subject of a piece written by Brad Racino.

The New York State Society of Certified Public Accounts sent a letter after the CAURD Coalition and the Cannabis Association of New York spoke out about potential conflicts of interest.

Marnie Muoz is a journalist from Syracuse University. Many of the Long Island towns that did not opt out of having a dispensary have local restrictions that make setting up shop nearly impossible.

We spoke to the retail manager at Housing Works Cannabis Co. about which brands and products customers are most interested in. In its first six months of business, the shop has seen more than 1,000 customers on busy days and has increased customer interest in weed- infused drinks and ounce bags of flower.

New York's strict approach to limiting sales tactics for cannabis businesses is dooming small operators from the start.

A potential tax loophole in the Office of Cannabis Management's recently released proposed rules and regulations was the subject of a guest column written by David Holland. New York City may be able to impose excise taxes on cannabis products as it does on tobacco products. The Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act has a limit on the number of plants that can be grown.

Cannabis entrepreneurs can learn a lot from the story of King Pyrrhus of Epirus, according to a guest column written by Cannasigliere's founder.

We ran a profile on the director of sales at the company.

John Ucciferri is the VP of Marketing at Treez.

We have plenty more to offer next week.
