NYS's legal dispensery license roll out has been a shitshow . Contrast that with New Mexico's and it looks even worse . NM and NY legalized recreational about the same time . NM went with a more free market approach and (don't quote me on this) has close to one dispensery per 2000 residents at the moment (data at https://crop.rld.nm.gov/sales.html). How NY messed up so bad is beyond me .
The lawsuits is what has us messed up. It has delayed us years already. We had a rollout plan focused on supporting NY businesses, that was interrupted at the getgo due to greed of out of state companies that wanted their piece. The only reason we're held up is because out of state businesses are tying our hands.
