New York State is LEGAL!
The work, supported in part by a state budget appropriation, prioritizes diversity, equity, and quality jobs in the emerging cannabis industry through skills training, entrepreneurism services, workforce supports, legal education for employees and employers, and the development of high-road career pathways.
After years of advocacy, New York State has passed legislation that will lead to a statewide market for adult-use cannabis. The legislation—known as the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA)—has wide-reaching implications for workforce development programs and policy. Among them, MRTA prioritizes those harmed by the prohibition of cannabis by establishing a goal to award 50% of business licenses to social equity candidates.
This goal puts New York at or near the head of the pack in terms of state-level, restorative justice cannabis policy.

2023 Cannabis Legislative Outlook
2023-01-26 14:00 - 15:30 (America/New_York) | Virtual
Hosted by CannabizMD Founder/CEO Jacquie Cohen Roth, MS, “2023 Legislative Legislative Landscape: Lessons Learned + Looking Foward” is a webinar for all cannabis industry professionals and healthcare providers. A distinguished panel of industry policy and law professionals will discuss recent federal cannabis legislation – what passed and failed in 2022 – and what’s best for new state medical and adult use programs.
Per the Marijuana Policy Project, polls show that 68% of Americans support making cannabis use legal and around 90% support allowing medical cannabis, but lawmakers lag far behind the public. 2022 saw the first stand-alone federal cannabis legislation for cannabis research made into law but the SAFE Banking Act failed. 2022 also saw several new medical cannabis programs and new adult use markets. What’s working and what’s not?
Missouri and Maryland passed adult use in 2022. What’s the impact on the respective medical programs? Which states are likely to pass adult use in 2023?
Following the discussion, there will be a Q + A session with webinar attendees and panel members.
