New York officials launched legal recreational marijuana sales by promising many of the first retail licenses to people with past drug convictions, hoping to give people harmed by the war on drugs a chance to succeed before competitors crowded in.
Critics blame New York's slow retail growth partly on bureaucratic issues, like delays in setting up a $200 million"social equity" fund to help applicants open shops. The rollout also was hobbled by lawsuits on behalf of people and businesses excluded from the first wave of retail licenses. "They've failed miserably in providing the justice-involved individuals the kind of head start, the kind of foothold, in the market that they promised," Fluellen said.
Curaleaf will be able to double the size of the facility's canopy to 64,000 square feet, or about 1.5 acres , if the market dictates, said Joe Holland, an executive vice president.
