@AshleyAtTimes with an important story. And, there is more than one illicit store that received a license. “Allowing these illicit shops basically stole New York’s opening act because the average consumer has no idea of the difference.” #ny #cannabis nytimes.com/2024/04/26/nyr…
@Joe_Rossi_ @AshleyAtTimes also; illicit shops previously shut down for selling cannabis without a license granted Proximity Protection , over legitimate applicants, by OCM 🇮🇷🇨🇳🇷🇺. x.com/cannalabs420/s…

@Joe_Rossi_ @AshleyAtTimes I'm not sure what OCMs thought process is - They had to know they would be highly scrutinized. IMO, they did but believe they are "untouchable".
@Joe_Rossi_ @AshleyAtTimes No mention of MSO curaleaf being issued a 2nd retail license while CAURD members can’t even get their 1st 🤦🏻♂️ not to mention MSO’s were supposed tp wait til 2025.
@Joe_Rossi_ @AshleyAtTimes It's only as crazy as the fact that some dispensaries already have multiple dispensary locations under the same name while thousands wait for their first while paying required leases.
@Joe_Rossi_ @AshleyAtTimes It's only as crazy as licensee's getting awarded multiple licenses (Cultivation, Processing, Distribution) at the same time as thousands of us wait for our first license while paying required leases for months.(1/ 2)
@Joe_Rossi_ @AshleyAtTimes ...Insane to think that because an applicant with multiple applications in gets licensed on one that they get to jump the queue on their other applications to get licensed all applications at once. Check it for yourself: cannabis.ny.gov/system/files/d… (2/2)
