The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) licenses cultivators, processors, distributors, and dispensaries to grow and sell cannabis in New York. The OCM is developing regulations which will outline how a person or business can apply for and receive a license in the new adult-use cannabis industry.
You must apply for a license if you want to cultivate cannabis or sell cannabis through a retail dispensary.
Please note:
- Cannabis Law does not allow individuals to have both a cultivation and retail adult-use cannabis license at the same time.
- Licensed dispensaries will not be able to sell tobacco products.
