Today's cover: NY farmers with 300K pounds of weed fume over state’s slow shop roll-out
New York’s weed farmers are fuming over the snail’s-pace rollout of legal cannabis shops in the Empire State — complaining they are sitting on mountains of spoiling marijuana crops.
Upstate marijuana farmer Seth Jacobs says the slow roll-out of legal cannabis dispensaries in the state has forced him to sit on hundreds of pounds of weed from last year’s harvest — and he worries it could soon be too old to sell.New York state lawmakers approved the sale of medical marijuana in 2014 and then gave the nod toin 2021 — but only under a strict store licensing process that critics say is unnecessarily cumbersome.
Many farmers said they are now scaling back on their 2023 harvest. Jacobs said his Bud & Boro operation harvested 700 pounds of marijuana last year but is planting on less than the legally allowable acre it was allowed this year.
