New York approved 52 licenses Thursday that will allow hemp farmers to get a head start on growing marijuana for the state’s upcoming adult market.
ALBANY, N.Y. —
The granting of the licenses now means farmers will be able to take advantage of this year’s growing season and harvest in October, said Allan Gandelman, a Cortland-based hemp grower and the president of the New York Cannabis Growers and Processors Association. The farmers will be limited to one acre of flowering canopy outdoors or a little more than half that space in a greenhouse. They also can split between outdoor and greenhouse grows.
State officials have said initial sales could begin by the end of the year under a program providing the first licenses to people affected by marijuana-related convictions. Regulations for the entire adult-use market are expected this summer.
