Where do you see the cannabis industry in New York 10 years from now?
“Because of the mandates in the [Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act], New York will create a lot of successful small and midsize businesses and social equity owners. This approach should lead to a robust ecosystem that can create generational wealth for participants, particularly those from communities impacted by cannabis prohibition, as well as thousands of new jobs, and innovations in the cannabis industry.”
