Despite being 1,000 miles away from New York during a business trip to Tampa, Claire Moloney could hardly contain her excitement for the news that hit last Wednesday: Governor Cuomo on March 31 signed into law a bill that legalizes recreational marijuana use making it the 15th state in the nation to do so. We knew that New York was just a matter of time, says Moloney, the East Coast regional director at New York City-based wholesale cannabis startup LeafLink. It s so exciting to us for this day to finally be here.
The new law, the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act, provides a framework for a statewide adult-use industry that could quickly become one of the world s largest an exciting prospect for legions of businesses that are poised to expand operations in the state. Retail sales could begin as early as Spring 2022.

CHARLESTON Growers, processors and dispensaries for West Virginia’s long-awaited medical cannabis program have been selected with patients able to register for the program as of Wednesday, but the state still needs a lab partner to test the product.
The Department of Health and Human Resources Office of Medical Cannabis announced last week patients can register to receive medical cannabis as of noon Wednesday at medcanwv.org, though products are not currently available.
The office announced the approval Friday of permits for 100 dispensaries in 23 counties. Dispensaries will be able to sell medical cannabis to patients with approved registration cards as soon as products are available, including pills, oils, topical ointments, liquids, dermal patches, tinctures and forms that can be used in vaporizers and nebulizers.
