Come learn directly from the teams who were part of launching many of the first CAURD licensed dispensaries in New York State.
The Bronx Community Foundation, Dutchie, Temeka, KayaPush, and Cannabis Workforce Initiative – in partnership with organizations helping to propel the New York cannabis industry forward, are continuing on The Official Dispensary Showroom Tour in Long Island – this time with a “Taste of Long Island”.
This ongoing event series is important to the New York cannabis industry in a number of ways:
Hands-On Retail Dispensary Experience: The Adult-Use Cannabis Retail Dispensary Showroom and Educational Experience will physically show what an adult-use dispensary needs to be fully compliant in New York. A life-sized dispensary will be built based on current regulations. Education will be based on state regulations and are subject to change.
Workforce Development & Local Community Groups: We will have various organizations who can provide jobs and specific training and certification in the cannabis industry and across the state tabling and participating in this event. This event aims to create equitable workforce and educational opportunities for building generational wealth in under-resourced communities.
Practical Educational Workshops*: Many CAURD applicants and community members have never seen a licensed legal dispensary operation from front-of-house to back-of-house. These workshops will be important for future dispensary operators and budtenders to understand what it takes to compliantly launch and operate an adult-use cannabis retail dispensary.
*Taught by the teams who were part of launching many of the first CAURD licensed dispensaries in New York State.
