New Look. New Opportunities. Reinvention.

As we enjoy the foliage and leave October for the November election and the start of the holiday season, CWCBExpo is excited to launch our new look and reinvent ourselves as Cannabis Means Business (CMB).

“This evolution is a significant shift in the landscape of cannabis industry events and reflects the needs of today and the future of the industry.”

– Christine Ianuzzi, CEO, Founder, Cannabis Means Business

Cannabis Means Business (CMB) is a new vision for the show previously run as CWCBExpo. This evolution is a significant shift in the landscape of cannabis industry events and reflects the needs of today and the future of the industry.

Taking place June 4-5, 2025 at the Javits Center in New York, this transformation to CMB reflects a growing recognition of the cannabis sector’s evolution and its increasing relevance in business discussions across a multitude of industries in the US and around the world.

CMB–New York Global Edition will serve as a dynamic platform that encompasses an impactful range of topics, emphasizing the integration of cannabis into mainstream business practices. The event will foster an environment where industry professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and key stakeholders can engage in meaningful dialogue about the future of cannabis and New York’s growing influence as a global hub.

“The Politics and Medicine of Cannabis: A Multi-state Approach.”

In keeping with the political season, and with many states having ballot measures up for a vote on election day, we feature one of the sessions from our June 2024 conference, “The Politics and Medicine of Cannabis: A Multi-state Approach.”

This session holds a timely relevance as 40 states have passed laws for medical and/or adult-use of cannabis – without waiting for changes on a federal level to cannabis regulations.

New York State Cannabis News

New York State Office of Cannabis Management, Cannabis Control Board

Noteworthy happenings have transpired this month regarding New York State and its efforts to strengthen and expand the build-out of its cannabis industry efforts. Among them include:

The Cannabis Control Board (CCB) held a meeting on October 17, 2024. At the meeting they reported that the total Cannabis Retail Sales amount is close to reaching $700 million. Other valuable stats were reported about NYS cannabis sales, dispensaries, licensing, etc.. To learn more about what transpired at this decisive and informative meeting, read through the meeting slides: https://cannabis.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2024/10/october-10-2024-ccb-meeting-deck.pdf
The public comment period ended on October 28, 2024 regarding the proposed amendments to marketing and advertising cannabis and cannabis products in NYS. Proposed amendments were filed by the NYS CCB to the Department of State to Parts 128 & 129 Packaging, Labeling, Marketing and Advertising Regulations. The full list of the proposed regulations can be found here: https://cannabis.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2024/08/exprs-trms-prts-128-129-amend-final.pdf
NYS opened up the application process for Adult-Use Processor Type-3 Branding licenses. Though not a plant-touching license, it allows the licensee to enter into white labeling agreements with NYS licensed cannabis processors who will manufacture a brand’s cannabis products. Stipulations as to what this Type-3 Branding License does can be found here: https://www.businessexpress.ny.gov/app/answers/cms/a_id/3833
NYS launched a grant application program called the Community Reinvestment Program. This program aims to fund non-profit organizations dedicated to supporting young people in under-served and under-resourced communities. This program will be funded by legal adult-use cannabis sales in line with the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) which legalized Adult-Use cannabis sales in NYS. Read more about the grant program here: https://cannabis.ny.gov/reinvestment
Since MRTA was introduced in 2021, much has occurred in NYS and its efforts to build its legal cannabis industry. A comprehensive Implementation Report on MRTA was issued by the NYS Office of Cannabis Management (OCM).

Meet the First Country to Legalize Recreational Cannabis

NYS Licensing News

The Office of Cannabis Management and the Cannabis Control Board regulators voted on November 27 to settle the two lawsuits that held up hundreds of Cannabis Adult Use Retail Dispensary (CAURD) card holders from actually opening up their dispensaries. The temporary injunction put forth was lifted for the two lawsuits and gave the green light to the 436 licensees to finally move forward. At least 23 of those CAURD holders were ready months ago before the injunction and can now proceed.

Governor Kathy Hochul expressed that NYS is committed to supporting legal cannabis shops and shutting down illegal cannabis operations.

Governor Hochul Announces New Dispensary Openings

The submission date deadline for NYS Licensing was December 18, 2023. Governor Kathy Hochul and the Cannabis Control Board are already looking ahead with enthusiasm as NYS seeks to expand its legal cannabis marketplace as new retail shops open up. Read what they had to say on December 14 about the anticipated new dispensary openings happening now and into 2024.

Germany’s Cannabis Legalization Delayed

Germany was set to legalize cannabis starting as soon as the new year but has been delayed until well into 2024 according to the German Health Minister, Karl Lauterbach. Germany appears to have a well-thought out and well debated cannabis legalization plan that includes cannabis social clubs and modifications to home grow regulations.

Ukraine’s Cannabis Bill Expected to Pass Early 2024

In our July Newsletter we highlighted that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is in favor of legalizing medical marijuana, and that the country’s legislature was poised to do so until an opposition faction blocked its passage. It is expected that this opposition will be overcome and the bill will pass in January 2024, and the law will become effective six months later.

“The bill, which initially listed cancer and war-borne PTSD as eligible conditions, moves marijuana from strictly prohibited to available for medical use with a prescription under List II of the country’s drug code.”

SPECIAL FEATURE: Interview with Ken R. Weinberg, MD (Part 2)

We are excited to share Part 2 of our “Cannabis as Medicine” interview with Ken R. Weinberg, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Founder of Cannabis Doctors of NY.

This month our discussion focuses on the medical marijuana market and medical marijuana patients and how adult-use legalization is affecting medical use.

Ken Weinberg, MD

Ken is a practicing physician with decades of experience in emergency medicine and urgent care. He is a published author of medical articles across many disciplines and is currently working on a book about his experiences in front-line medicine, including the 1500 or so patients he has seen as a registered Cannabis Practitioner since 2016. He is the Founder of Cannabis Doctors of New York.

Among his many medical commitments, he serves as the Attending Cannabis Consultant at Inspir – a private nursing home in New York City. At that facility he provides medical expertise and guidance for elders who are interested in using cannabis as part of their medical care. Ken works with several dispensaries in the New York area as well.

INTERVIEW, PART 2: CANNABIS AS MEDICINE

CWCBExpo – Recently, the New York State Cannabis Control Board approved six of the state’s Registered Operators (ROs)* to participate in the adult-use market. What do you think about this and how do you think it will affect the medical cannabis marijuana market for patients and appropriate patient care? Will it help? Are you concerned for patient care and are you concerned that new users who would have otherwise consulted with a medical practitioner will now not be getting the optimal medical advice?

Ken – I have mixed feelings. The fact that many of our medical patients are opting to go to the rec market has caused a precipitous drop in medical patients. And while I am sure that some of the people who have made the switch will do okay, one of the reasons I like the NY medical cannabis space is that there are pharmacists involved. Cannabis medicine is medicine, with exact dosing, possible drug interactions and effects that budtenders should not be opining on.

*Editor’s Note: Medical dispensaries (ROs) must have a registered pharmacist to dispense the medical marijuana to patients. There is also a requirement that any RO who is approved for participation in the adult-use market must have a separation of the medical marijuana and the adult-use retail sections.

CWCBExpo – Describe your recent presentation to a Northwell Resident group regarding educating them on cannabis as a medical treatment. Were there any particular conditions, diseases or symptoms that you focused on in the presentation? What was the reaction of the medical residents who attended the presentation – was it well received?

Ken – For the last three years, I’ve been giving this lecture to the Family Practice residents. I talked about the Endocannabinoid System and similarities of the plant cannabinoids to the endogenous (produced inside the body) cannabinoids.

I spoke about how well my patients with autoimmune diseases (like Inflammatory Bowel Disease) do and about how I am seeing how very beneficial cannabis can be for patients with dementia. This was the best received talk I’ve given and I suspect I left them (and an initially skeptical Attending Physician) wanting more.

“I love my involvement in cannabis medicine because it provokes me all the time, and challenges me to understand how we interact with the plant, and how it may well be involved (in the best way) with the placebo effect…”

CWCBExpo – What do you think about Psychedelics as treatment for many medical conditions? Where do you see this going?

Ken – I think this is a huge, burgeoning area of medicine with great potential for benefits. Unfortunately, as with so much else in this country, the fact that they remain Schedule 1 narcotics leads to a hodgepodge of regulations and research in various states, and the federal government unable to provide some uniformity of guidance.

CWCBExpo – What about micro dosing and the use of psychedelics as a medicine for treatment?

Ken – Micro dosing can be a good way to start, especially for “cannabis-naive” patients and the elderly, who may be very sensitive to the effects. I’m not involved with psychedelics but they seem to be very promising for a variety of conditions.

CWCBExpo – What excites you most about practicing medicine and devoting your life to it? And furthermore, what can explain the motivation for you to include cannabis as a medical treatment?

Ken – I am a third-generation MD, and one of three brothers. One brother was a Family Practice and Naturopathic physician, the other an Oriental Medicine and acupuncturist so it feels like it’s in the blood. In fact, my niece is an OB-GYN doc, making her the fourth generation of Drs. Weinberg.

I think that medicine is a field where you can continue to grow, enrich your understanding, and be stimulated intellectually as well as be emotionally gratified even as you advance in age. I love my involvement in cannabis medicine because it provokes me all the time, and challenges me to understand how we interact with the plant, and how it may well be involved (in the best way) with the placebo effect. Lastly, as you alluded to, my love and long involvement with the interface of literature and medicine has caused me to write stories of my patient encounters for many years and has now led to my writing a book incorporating those stories along with the many influences on my life as a political activist doctor and writer.

NY and NJ Markets Continue to Expand

Each month, Cannabis World Congress & Business Exposition (CWCBExpo) offers a convenient roundup of the biggest cannabis news stories and hemp headlines emerging across the nation. Get these updates in your inbox by subscribing to our email newsletter, or follow us on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter (now X) to get the most recent edition when it’s published.

Step into the final stretch of 2023 with our December regional cannabis news update. The edition spotlights a game-changing decision by New York’s Cannabis Control Board, as well as the flourishing market in New Jersey. As we close out the year, witness the expansion of markets across the Northeast as we unpack the details of some of the most pivotal moves in our area.

MSOs approved to enter the New York adult use market

Following the state’s Supreme Court decision on December 1st to lift an injunction hindering the issuance of new Conditional Adult-Use Retail (CAURD) Licenses, the Cannabis Control Board (CCB) in New York has officially given the green light to multistate operators (MSOs) with medical marijuana licenses to enter the adult use market on December 29th, 2023.

The decision comes exactly one year after the state launched recreational sales. Thus far, the CCB approved the following six organizations to join the adult use market:

Columbia Care NY, whose parent is New York-based MSO The Cannabist Co.
Curaleaf NY, part of New York-headquartered MSO Curaleaf Holdings
Etain, owned by RIV Capital, a Toronto-based investment firm
NYCanna, part of New York-headquartered MSO Acreage Holdings
PharmaCann of New York, whose parent is Chicago-based MSO PharmaCann
Valley Agriceuticals, whose parent is Chicago-headquartered MSO Cresco Labs

While the waiting period had been adopted to provide a first-to-market advantage to social equity retailers and smaller supplies, gears have shifted in an effort to expand retail options as hundreds of unlicensed shops continue to plague the market.

These six companies will eventually be permitted to set up co-located adult-use sales at up to three of their existing medical dispensaries. For the time being, however, each was approved for a single shop that can open by the end of the month. The CCB also approved new medical-only locations for both Citiva and Fiorello.

New Jersey sales increase as prices drop

New Jersey cannabis sales are stacking up high, as the recreational market recorded $206.1 million for Q3 2023. This brings the state’s total legal market revenue for the year to $762.9 million. The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) reported a 10% increase in sales in the same quarter, from the $160.2 million in adult use cannabis revenue generated from April through June.

According to CRC Executive Jeff Brown, consumers are attracted to the licensed marketplace, which includes 70-plus adult-use dispensaries statewide. As a result, prices for products are starting to come down. The average flower price dropped to roughly $354 per ounce at adult-use retail, representing a 10.5% decrease from January’s average price of $396.

“New Jersey’s market continues to grow,” Brown said during the commission’s regular meeting on Dec. 7th. “For the first time in history, legal cannabis sales in New Jersey eclipsed $200 million in the third quarter of 2023. That includes just shy of $177 million of adult-use sales and just shy of $30 million of medicinal sales.”

New Jersey’s adult-use sales accounted for nearly 86% of all sales for the third quarter of 2023. The state’s medical market continues to shrink due to expanded opportunities for consumers.

More dispensaries are opening across New York

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has announced the opening of one dozen new adult-use dispensaries from Brooklyn to Buffalo. By the end of December 2023, the state anticipates having at least 37 adult-use dispensaries open for businesses. Among the opening locations, eight are majority Black-owned, five are Hispanic-owned, and nine are woman-owned.

“As New York expands the most equitable cannabis market in the nation, my administration remains committed to building a safe industry for all New Yorkers that will grow our small business community,” Governor Hochul said in a press release. “These new dispensaries continue our mission of strengthening our legal market while at the same time helping to push out the bad actors who skirt our laws and undermine all we are trying to accomplish.”

Below is a list of the dispensaries that have recently opened or are set to open this month. Opening dates are subject to change:
