New York is the place that never stops toking. State cannabis regulators revealed Wednesday that 2.7 million New York State residents are regular or monthly marijuana consumers.
It’s the Empire Baked.
The steadily rising use of cannabis represents nearly one-fifth of New York adults who use weed at least once a year, and mostly from illegal distributors, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. Rollout of the state’s legal cannabis program has been slow, however, with just 20 licensed dispensaries and delivery outlets open for business. Forty more are in development, according to regulators.Marijuana farmers throughout the state said they entered this growing season still stockpiling weed from last year because of not enough licensed stores.
The state Cannabis Management and Department of Taxation and Finance have been granted powers to issue fines of between $10,000 and $20,000 a day to stores illegally selling pot.
