One year after officially lighting up our city's legal cannabis market, the seeds of growth and equity are sprouting across NYC.
Together with our state partners, we made a promise to become the first place in the country to right the wrongs of the War on Drugs, giving those who have been justice-involved or faced previous cannabis convictions a chance to succeed through this new opportunity. The goal was to create good jobs, successful small businesses and build the nation's most equitable cannabis industry.
Cannabis NYC Founding Director Dasheeda Dawson and Mayor Adams meet up for a joint discussion about where we stand now with the rollout of our cannabis industry, the city's enforcement efforts, and what's next for this budding business sector.
