As New York marijuana regulators continue to accept applications for the first adult-use cannabis retailer licenses from people directly impacted by the drug war, officials on Tuesday voted to adopt home grow rules for medical cannabis patients, as well as another round of conditional marijuana processor and cultivator business applications.
The Cannabis Control Board (CCB) accepted a resolution to have the state adopt rules for medical cannabis patients to grow their own plants for personal use. They also accepted updated hemp cannabinoid regulations and gave the green light to a limited partnership agreement between the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) and Social Equity Impact Ventures to advance industry equity.
The adoption of the medical cannabis home grow resolution comes about a year after draft regulations were first proposed and several months after the board accepted revised rules following a public comment period. Now CCB has directed the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) to formally send the approved regulations to the New York State Department of State.
