EXCLUSIVE: NY Cannabis Market Optimism Prevails Despite 'Absurd' Taxes, Illegal Operators, Lawsuits
Portfolio Pulse from Nina Zdinjak
The New York cannabis market has been facing challenges since its launch last year, including lawsuits, illegal operators, and high taxes. The Coalition for Access to Regulated and Safe Cannabis (CARSC) filed a lawsuit against the OCM for allegedly violating MRTA by reserving the first 150 retail licenses for social equity applicants. The lawsuit includes large marijuana companies Acreage Holdings (OTCQX:ACRHF), Curaleaf Holdings (OTCQX:CURLF), Green Thumb Industries (OTCQX:GTBIF), and PharmaCann. Despite these challenges, industry experts remain optimistic about the market's potential.
