An overwhelming 94% of New York Cannabis Retail Association members oppose changing the 1,000 feet buffer zone rule, highlighting concerns over market stability and illegal competition.
Jayson Tantalo emphasized, 'Our market is way too fragile to change the proximity protection rules.' He noted that the market is still developing and illegal shops pose a major concern.
Tantalo's wife, Britni, echoed his sentiments, stating that any relaxation of the buffer zone would further destabilize the market, reiterating the need for existing regulations to protect their investments.
The analysis of the survey indicated that NYCRA members support the current proximity rules, emphasizing the need for additional regulatory guardrails if exemptions are ever considered.
