The launch of New York’s legal cannabis industry is turning into a bad trip — even before the first official marijuana stores have opened for business, social justice critics claim.

— even before the first official marijuana stores have opened for business, social justice critics claim.

“This type of cannabis is considered low grade, best suited for processing into oils, vapes, topicals and edible cannabis products. It is not suitable as a smokable flower for sale at dispensaries,” Reginald Fluellen of the Cannabis Social Equity Coalition said. “Let’s stick to the facts, and they’re clear: New York’s first adult-use dispensaries will be selling products grown by New York family farmers that have been tested for a wide array of potentially harmful elements, including heavy metals, e-coli, aspergillus, and other contaminants in line with practices in other states,” said Damian Fagon, OCM’s chief equity officer.

He said the first dispensary owners already had a history of running other successful businesses and “jumping to conclusions about the products they will sell and their ability to be successful will only be damaging to them and our effort to establish the most equitable cannabis market in the nation.”
