STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Gov. Kathy Hochul this week announced a dozen more adult-use cannabis dispensaries will open in New York state by the end of 2023, bringing the state’s total to at least 37 operating dispensaries.
“These new dispensaries continue our mission of strengthening our legal market while at the same time helping to push out the bad actors who skirt our laws and undermine all we are trying to accomplish,” the governor said.
Among the state’s dispensaries, eight are majority Black owned, five are Hispanic owned, and nine are women owned. According to the state, less than 0.2% of all national dispensaries are Black owned, while in New York, over 20% of adult-use dispensaries are majority Black owned.
