New York To Open First Adult-Use Cannabis Nursery License Applications
New York’s first adult-use nursery license window opens Nov. 5
New York will open applications for adult-use cannabis nursery licenses on Nov. 5, marking the first time the state has offered the license category since its adult-use market launched in 2022.
The Office of Cannabis Management will accept only the first 50 applications, reviewing them in the order received. The initial application window will close once that threshold is reached.
The Cannabis Control Board approved the limited application window Oct. 1 to manage processing times, with additional application rounds planned. Applications received after the first 50 will not be considered, and those applicants’ fees will be returned.
What does the cannabis nursery license allow?
The new license category establishes a dedicated supply source for the genetics and starting materials that cultivators rely on in New York’s cannabis market, which generated $1.68 billion in sales in 2025.
The nonrefundable application fee for a nursery license is $1,000. Qualified social and economic equity applicants are eligible for a 50% reduction in both application and licensing fees, according to OCM.
