The proposed THC limits are unreasonably low, especially in a state that has quickly become a hub for cannabis innovation. Cannabis flower products in New York often exceed the 15% THC threshold.
Dispensary owners, who have invested heavily in building compliant, licensed businesses, could face devastating losses. The same applies to farmers and processors who rely on the ability to cultivate and produce high-potency products.
The bill could push consumers back into the hands of the black market, where they would continue to have access to stronger cannabis products, but without the safety, quality control, or legal protections provided by the regulated industry.
This proposed legislation, while well-intentioned, could have disastrous consequences for New York's legal cannabis industry, threatening the livelihoods of dispensary owners, farmers, processors, and countless others.
