INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS New York The state Cannabis Control Board signed off on 16 conditional adult-use marijuana cultivation licenses along with a slew of proposed industry rules. The new grow permits bring the total number of licensed cultivators to 162, following 58 new farming licenses issued in May. New York is the first regulated cannabis market to allow licensed hemp growers to get first crack at growing recreational marijuana. Conditional license holders can grow adult-use marijuana outdoors or in a greenhouse with up to 20 artificial lights. Ohio The state's pharmacy board approved 70 provisional dispensary licenses, which could more than double the 58 dispensaries previously licensed. After obtaining that certificate, each provisional licensee has 270 days-or until February 2023-to become operational. The pharmacy board is reviewing three more companies for potential provisional licenses. Additionally, an initiative to legalize adult-use marijuana in Ohio won't be on the state's November ballot. Instead, the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol struck a settlement with Republican lawmakers that paves the way for the issue to get on the 2023 ballot or to be passed by the Legislature next year. *Enhance customer experience *Optimize workflow *Cloud-based remote monitoring *100% concealed *Access Control as a Service (ACaaS) visit: senseon.comhttp://www.senseon.com
