Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.New York cannabis officials are expected to announce the recipients of the first recreational marijuana retail licenses on Monday – but certain parts of the state will be off limits to dispensaries for the time being. And the state may have to hold off on issuing nearly half of the 150 dispensary licenses designated for the first round.
The state is only planning to issue 150 dispensary licenses in the first round — and 63 were designated for areas impacted by the injunction. The number of licenses allocated to each area is based on the number of people who live and commute there. Brooklyn was supposed to have 19 dispensaries, the third most in the state after Manhattan and Long Island. CAURD applicants must rank the top five parts of the state where they want to set up shop in their applications.
The majority owner of the company, Kenneth Gay, was convicted of a marijuana offense in Michigan — not New York, which is a key requirement. And although the company isin New York, the owners don’t live here. The CAURD program requires applicants to have a “significant presence” in the state. The injunction comes at a time when cannabis growers in New York are already concerned about how many dispensaries will open and when, since they have athey need to sell, said Dan Livingston, executive director of the Cannabis Association of New York, an industry group. State officials have only promised that some undisclosed number of dispensaries will open before the end of the year.
