New York still has a lot to work out as their adult-use market finally launches

Dozens of entrepreneurs are on the sidelines waiting – and hoping – for regulatory approval to begin operations in New York, reports MJ Biz Daily. 

With just one operational shop, and with New York’s illicit market still strong, the publication highlights that the state still has a lot of work to do to fulfill its potential as one of the biggest cannabis markets in the country. 

“The more dispensaries we open, as well as those other enforcement actions, is what’s going to create the push for folks to transition from the illicit to the regulated market,” said Chris Alexander, the executive director of New York’s Office of Cannabis Management.

PART 2

What’s in store for the European cannabis industry in 2023?

In part two of two, BusinessCann explores the coming year for the European cannabis industry. 

The publication shares insights from prominent voices in the industry including the Cannabis Industry Council, Enexis AB, Cannavigia, Ananda Developments, Mull Cafe and the Hemp Hound Agency. 

Some predictions include: 

• Economic pressures will mean capital available for the European cannabis industry will be ‘scarce’ in the first half of 2023; however, this will begin to ‘rebound thereafter’. 
• Industry players still have the chance to shape the regulatory framework of the future and support policymakers in their decisions. 
• Could see regulatory change in the UK which helps to clear the path to making medical cannabis a better recognised, more readily prescribed medicine in the country.

OHIO REFORMS

Ohio lawmakers given four months to consider cannabis reform

Ohio’s secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) has formally resubmitted an activist-led cannabis legalization petition to the legislature, giving lawmakers four months to consider the reform, writes Marijuana Moment. 

LaRose said that if they don’t act, advocates could then collect additional signatures to place the issue on the November ballot for voters to decide on. 

Tom Haren, a spokesperson for the campaign, told Marijuana Moment: “The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol is pleased that our proposal was re-transmitted to the Ohio General Assembly and that the Secretary of State clarified that the General Assembly’s four-month clock to consider our proposal has begun.”
