The proposal targets minority communities grossly impacted by “heavy-handed” marijuana arrests
Mayor Eric Adams is earmarking nearly $5 million in his executive budget toward educating New Yorkers on how to enter the legal cannabis business — and he’s targeting would-be entrepreneurs in neighborhoods disproportionately affected by marijuana arrests in the past.
The mayor’s plan calls for several city agencies to scout for minority communities disproportionately affected by longstanding, low-level marijuana arrests to help crystallize the process in obtaining a state cannabis business license. These marketsNew York state lawmakers approved the legalization of cannabis in March 2021, allowing users to openly smoke in areas that currently allow cigarette consumption.
Monies have also been earmarked for a media campaign informing New Yorkers on how to properly establish a dispensary business, But even as Adams promotes the plan as a done deal, the executive budget — a response to the requests made by the New York City Council — still requires the councilmembers to weigh in. The mayor is expected to release his updated budget plan next week, which will then be followed by another round of Council hearings examining the line items.
