New York Approves Cannabis Processors, Policy Director
242 farms are also now licensed to grow adult-use cannabis in the state
New York approved its first 15 adult-use conditional processor licenses Monday, meaning growers can now turn cannabis plants into products like edibles, vape cartridges and oils, according to the state’s Office of Cannabis Management. These products will be sold at New York’s first retail dispensaries, OCM said in a statement.
“When we open New York’s first stores, owned and operated by New Yorkers harmed by the misguided criminalization of cannabis, the shelves will be lined with infused edibles, topical creams and concentrated oils,” Tremaine Wright, chair of the Cannabis Control Board, said in the statement. “None of those products would be possible without these first processors launching New York’s cannabis industry.”
