New York Regulators Issue 68 Adult-Use Marijuana Licenses, But Many Still Pending

Cannabis sales are approaching the $1 billion mark

New York regulators approved 68 adult-use marijuana licenses, but more than 3,000 applications filed a year ago are still pending.

That’s partially because regulators want to avoid flooding the market as state-regulated recreational cannabis sales approach the $1 billion mark, Felicia Reid, the Office of Cannabis Management’s acting executive director, told Spectrum News 1.

During Tuesday’s Cannabis Control Board (CCB) meeting, the last of the year, regulators issued:

  • 2 cultivator licenses.
  • 21 distributor licenses.
  • 6 microbusiness licenses, which allow holders to cultivate, process and sell cannabis.
  • 24 processor licenses.
  • 15 retail licenses.
