Elevating New York Cannabis: A Clean Start with Gen Zero Tissue Culture Excited to see more microbusinesses taking root in NYS! With indoor flower on the horizon, there's incredible potential to revolutionize cannabis cultivation. Here's why starting with Gen Zero tissue culture clones might be your next big move: 🧬 Why Tissue Culture? Cannabis, as an annual plant, operates with a finite genetic lifespan. Cutting a clone from a mother plant does not reset its genetic clock; the clone carries the exact DNA of its source. Over time, the DNA in mother plants experiences breaks and deterioration, similar to how aging affects humans. This natural aging process, combined with environmental stressors, increases the risk of genetic drift (subtle but impactful changes in genetic expression) and mutations that can compromise the quality and consistency of your harvest. By starting with Gen Zero tissue culture clones, you bypass these risks entirely. Tissue culture provides a fresh start, delivering plants that are: - Pathogen-free: No lingering bacteria, fungi, or viruses. - Genetically true-to-type: Consistent characteristics from one plant to the next. - Vigorous and healthy: Free from the stress and wear accumulated in older plant generations. With tissue culture, you're ensuring that your cannabis plants grow with their genetic integrity intact, producing high-quality flower with every harvest. Don’t let aging genetics limit your operation—start clean and grow strong. 🌱 💰 Save Time, Space, and Money Operating a mother room is costly. Consider this: - Nutrients & Media: $500+/month - Power & Lighting: $1,000+/month - Water Usage: $300+/month - Labor Costs: $2,500+/month With Gen Zero clones, you can eliminate the mother room entirely, saving thousands annually while increasing operational efficiency. No mother plants mean reduced biosecurity risks since the perpetual operation of mother rooms makes them hotspots for pests and pathogens​​. 🌟 Your Path to Premium Flower Start clean and finish strong. Tissue-culture-derived clones from The New York Nursery guarantee uniform growth, consistent yields, and a superior end product. Whether you're growing for flavor, potency, or terpene content, our clones deliver​​. 🛠️ Let’s Grow Together Explore your options with us today and bring the best of science to your craft. We're here to help NY microbusinesses succeed! 📩 Reach out to The New York Nursery now. Start your journey with Gen Zero clones and cultivate with confidence. #NewYorkCannabis #TissueCulture #CannabisInnovation #CleanStart #GenZero #CannabisFarming #SustainableCannabis #CannabisCultivation #Microbusiness #GrowWithConfidence #CannabisScience #Biosecurity #PathogenFree #PremiumFlower #CannabisTech #NYSCannabis #FutureOfFarming #ConsistentQuality #CannabisMicrobusiness #StartCleanGrowStrong

Multiple dispensary owners in legal cannabis markets have contacted me about bringing Mexijuana Edibles to their markets. I will be raising capital to be able to manage this expansion properly and to bring on the right team to execute it. Fortunately, multi-state expansion is what I have been doing for other brands and now I get to utilize the relationships I have created, to expand. I have seen which brands succeeded and which experienced, failure to launch. Most importantly, I have seen why. #Investors #Cannabis #Lawyers #Expansion The first hire will be a mean and effective lawyer.

A new set of criteria for qualifying for a public convenience and advantage waiver was proposed at today’s Cannabis Control Board meeting. The criteria include the following: 1. Distance from Other Retail Dispensaries: The proposed location must be at least: - 1,000 feet from any existing retail dispensary in jurisdictions with a 1,000-foot minimum distance requirement. - 2,000 feet from any existing retail dispensary in jurisdictions with a 2,000-foot minimum distance requirement. 2. Geographic, Structural, or Topographic Barriers: The existence of barriers (such as waterways, major roadways, highways, or significant travel distances) that separate the proposed location from existing dispensaries. 3. Travel Distance: The actual distance between the proposed location and existing dispensaries, as measured by pedestrian or vehicle routes. 4. Unique Factors of the Proposed Location: Factors that may justify the location, such as: - High consumer demand for additional retail dispensaries or microbusinesses. - The presence of illicit or former illicit cannabis dispensaries near both the proposed and existing locations. - Other relevant factors that may support the need for greater access to adult-use cannabis in the area. 5. Notification to Local Authorities: The licensee must send a notification to the local municipality or community board, informing them of their intention to request a waiver from the Board for not meeting the 1,000-foot or 2,000-foot minimum distance requirement. The municipality or community board will have 45 days to respond before the Board considers the application. Mr. Kagia mentioned that the Board would consider more than this information alone when deciding to grant a waiver and that it would be up to their discretion. Chairman Wright raised concerns about the 45-day period, and the Board voted to approve the criteria with an amendment for licensees who have already received municipal support.

Organic Blooms LLC, Niagara Nugget LLC, Blackmark LLC, and Windward Management LLC have filed a verified petition and complaint against the New York State Cannabis Control Board (CCB) and the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). This action challenges the respondents' actions, claiming they exceeded their statutory authority under the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA). Key points: - The MRTA, signed into law on March 31, 2021, requires the application period for adult-use cannabis retail dispensary licenses to be open to all applicants simultaneously. - In 2022, the CCB and OCM created the Conditional Adult Use Retail Dispensary (CAURD) program, limiting applicants to those with prior cannabis convictions and qualifying business experience. - The CCB and OCM allowed CAURD applicants to apply without identifying proposed premises or notifying municipalities, which contradicts MRTA's requirements. - Petitioners argue that this selective application process was arbitrary and capricious, lacking factual justification, and unfairly burdensome to other applicants who complied with all rules. Petitioners are seeking: - A declaration that the CCB and OCM’s actions were unlawful. - Annulling all licenses improperly granted under these conditions. - Temporary and preliminary injunctions to prevent further licensing without proper compliance. - Damages, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees. The case points to significant concerns about regulatory fairness and adherence to statutory requirements in New York.

📢 Quick update from the latest NY Cannabis Control Board (CCB) meeting: Big milestones reached—over 1,100 adult-use licenses issued this year and the opening of New York's 200th dispensary! 🌱 The market is expanding fast. Currently, there are more licenses than active proximity protections, and we anticipate updates to some proximity protections by Oct 23rd. We’ll be looking into this and reporting back soon. Also, provisional licensees do not need to return to the board for final approval, meaning there may be fewer provisional licenses and more active retail operations than shown in the table. #NYCannabis #CannabisRegulations #MarketGrowth
