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.
