First they were slow to legalize. Then they were slow to license. Then they made a questionable program that doesn't give equal opportunity to get into the industry in the name of equal opportunity. Now there's a grey market and court squabbles. Is it any wonder people are leery of government being the solution?

That would make sense if they were trying to roll out state-owned pot shops, but they aren't.

People in NYC like businesses to be regulated for good reason. That's not gonna change.

Pretending like New York is blazing the trail and doing anything responsibly rather than creating grift opportunities

What's the reason, other than getting their pockets lined by corporate cannabis? I'll wait.

Quality control? Try buying edibles at the shops that have popped up, it’s all awful and wrongly advertised. Also, eventually the feds will legalize it and it’s better to write the rules and use them as examples than letting a bunch of congress people from Mississippi go to town on them.

Have you actually looked at the "rules" for one of these coveted and ephemeral licenses? It's a load of equity horseshit and has less than nothing to do with quality controls. It's cronyism, pure and simple, and will just serve to keep black market dealers operating when (and if) licensed shops ever open--get ready for $500 zips.

You are a virtue signalling obnoxious conservative who makes everything about government bad or other races bad. Thankfully no one in blue states gives a shit what you think.

Conservative? I belong to no party.

Who said anything about race here? Only you. If it's racist you should report me and have me muted. If not, tough shit. Cope.

I was born and raised in NYC (but in SW Bklyn with its GOP Congressman) where I still reside. Lifelong New Yorker.
