Cannabis Association of New York

Dope article in NY Cannabis Insider featuring Marino. client the Cannabis Association of New York with the results of a recent #CANY survey. The latest survey reveals a pressing issue in the #cannabisindustry: a shortage of high-quality flower. As highlighted, many business owners are facing challenges in securing top-tier product. #cannabispr “A large majority of #cannabis business owners who responded to a survey reported they’re seeing supply shortages – but expect that to improve – in a major reversal from the oversupply issue that plagued #NewYork #cultivators for about two years…The Cannabis Association of New York this week released results from a survey of the group’s members – ranging from cultivators and processors to distributors and retailers. The survey, which was conducted the week ending June 21, found 78% of dispensary owners who responded said they’ve often heard from suppliers in the last three months that they’re limiting the amount of product that will be shipped.” #cannabiscommunity #MarinoCannabis #NYCannabis Allegra Campbell

A survey of CANY members conducted in June highlighted concerns over supply issues, however, overall found optimism among operators. This is our first of what will be quarterly surveys of our members as we work to understand their concerns and continuously find ways to support them. Future surveys will continue to monitor sentiment among CANY members, who come from every corner of the industry, and will highlight timely issues. As we entered the summer growing season, and with dispensaries opening weekly, it seemed only right to check in on the supply chain.

🚨 The illicit #cannabis market in #NewYork remains a pressing issue. At Marino, we've long been champions of New York’s medical and recreational cannabis markets, advocating tirelessly for enforcement against illicit operations. A few years ago, we spearheaded a groundbreaking study on the #illicitmarket, highlighting the challenges and risks it poses. While it’s gratifying to see some #illicit dispensaries being shut down, the problem persists. It's crucial for consumers to know how to distinguish between legal and illegal dispensaries to ensure they are purchasing safe, regulated products. Learn more about how to recognize the difference between legal and illicit dispensaries in this dope piece from the Marino. #cannabisteam. Here’s an excerpt: “Now, with over 100 legal dispensaries finally open throughout the state, it is possible to buy cannabis at a legal operation, but sometimes deciphering between illicit smoke shops and legal dispensaries can be difficult, especially for new consumers who have never visited a legal dispensary. Illicit operations take advantage of this by posing as legal operations. Some will even tell you they’re licensed if you ask them…Luckily, there are a few ways to determine whether a dispensary is licensed or not. Here’s some tell-tale signals you should look out for if you’re unsure if the dispensary you’re in is legitimate.” #MarinoCannabis #NewYorkCannabis #CannabisCommunity

Dope and timely piece in EMPIRE REPORT featuring Marino. client #DamienCornwell from Cannabis Association of New York connecting #Juneteenth with the promise of the #NewYork #cannabisindustry. #cannabispr "As a leader in the New York #cannabis industry, it’s impossible for me not to look at Juneteenth and compare it to the promise held for the industry we’re growing here. It’s a promise embodied in the heart of our state’s cannabis law, the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (#MRTA), to build an industry that works to undo the damage done by heavy-handed, disproportionate enforcement against Black and Brown communities, disabled veterans, and others during #cannabisprohibition...But with the industry teetering after months of uncertainty for perceived and real failures, we’re at risk of losing out on the promise of the MRTA. We must remain committed to the law’s priorities and work together to get back on course." #cannabiscommunity #MarinoCannabis #NYCannabis
