New York Cannabis Companies Sidestep Flower Ban With Ground Flower Refills
Flower is forbidden in New York, even for patients in the state’s medical cannabis program. Except that it isn’t. Flower is legally available to New Yorkers with medical cards, so long as it’s ground up, ostensibly for vaping. But a bowl or a blunt will work just as well. When New York started its medical program in 2014, Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared that smoking is bad for you. New Yorkers with medical marijuana cards are allowed to vape and to take tinctures, capsules, and chewables, but the Department of Health does not allow unprocessed flower. “Smoking medical marijuana is prohibited […]

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s efforts to legalize cannabis in the Empire State might finally come to fruition in 2021. Although lawmakers have pushed back on Cuomo’s plans for legalization for the past two years in the major US market, at a recent briefing the governor says he believes 2021 is the year it all changes. “This is a year where we need the funding, and a lot of New Yorkers are struggling, and I think this year will give us momentum to get us over the goal line,” Cuomo said at a recent briefing. “This should have been passed […]

Governor of New York Announces Proposal To Legalize Adult-Use Cannabis
Will 2021 finally be the year that New York embraces marijuana legalization? Wednesday’s announcement from the state’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, qualified as an encouraging development—though New Yorkers probably shouldn’t start dreaming of dispensaries in the East Village just yet. In a statement, the Democratic stalwart said he is prepared to unveil “a proposal to legalize cannabis and create an equitable adult-use cannabis program in [New York state],” a program he said would “generate much-needed revenue, while allowing us to support those that have been most harmed by decades of failed cannabis prohibition.” Cuomo will further detail the proposal in the […]

Because this grow will happen on tribal land, they […]

JUDGE: NEW YORK – PAY VAPING BUSINESS LITIGATION COSTS
There has been a string of good vaping news over the last few weeks. Nothing that I would considering earth shattering, but wins none the less. This particular win is with the state of NY. A Judge has ordered that New York must pay for the attorney costs of the plaintiffs. This article is still biased against the vaping industry but I will take good rulings from any news source. The selective abuse vaping has taken (i.e. cant sell menthol vapes, but you can sell menthol cigarettes in many states) is further complicated with the […]
