Here’s Where To Buy Legal Weed: New York’s Cannabis Market Expands, Other States Are Keeping Up
New York’s Cannabis Market Expands As Officials Successfully Crack Down On Illegal Sales
As New York City’s ‘Operation Padlock To Protect’ gains momentum as Governor Kathy Hochul and NYC Mayor Eric Adams recently announce that more than 1,000 illicit cannabis stores have been shut down, boosting sales in the legal market.
Hochul recently celebrated the opening of the 150th Adult-Use Retail Dispensary (CAURD), The Robinson’s Dispensary in Albany. That number includes storefronts and temporary delivery-only (TDO) locations open and operating statewide.
“New dispensaries continue our mission of strengthening our legal market while at the same time helping to push out the bad actors who skirt our laws and undermine all we are trying to accomplish,” Hochul said last week.
Meanwhile, cannabis giant Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (TSX:CURA) (OTCQX:CURLF) opened a new retail location at 532 Chili Ave in Rochester on Friday, July 26. Curaleaf Syracuse, located at 4141 South Salina St, Syracuse, NY 13205, will open in the coming weeks, pending regulatory approval, the company recently confirmed.
