@LizKrueger @CPeoplesStokes You both know how hard it’s been to get to this point - there’ll be little interest to pass any other cannabis laws this or for the next several sessions. Get it right for patients and get it right for NYers!

My statement on the urgency to pass an MRTA that does NOT include what recent leaks seem to indicate. Getting it right is more important than trying to rush it through during budget week #marijuanajustice #justice4nymmj

Housing Works reportedly offered* discounts for patients but no longer, now it looks like Legacy Dispensers is the same. UCC is complying w/regs but supports patients making medical purchases. Seems CAURD operators are interested in serving medical patients. Your move, OCM.

I need help from the US cannabis community - if your state offers reciprocity to out of state patients, does your state require CARDS or will any documentation do (like just the printed certification)? + Does your state’s med dispos universally honor that or does it vary? RTs🙏

Come on!!! We know you don’t care about the MSOs but patients dealing with 5+ different reg procedures, limits, etc does NOT help US, it makes things HARDER, difficult to understand/remember, & gets in the way of our access. NYers should only “buy legal”though, right? 😂

PROPOSED: “§ A ROD shall not (§ 123.18(b)): substitute adult-use cannabis product, should the licensee experience an unexpected shortage of medical cannabis products” @nys_cannabis is really picking REVENUE over patients, much like our MSOs prioritize profits over patients

After last night’s results, it’s even more clear we need new leadership. I repeat: Jay Jacobs must go.

This is part of why I’m running for State Committee in AD 36. Jay Jacobs must go and that is one vote I’d proudly take.

@LizKrueger “refutes the claims of a lack of cooperation between New York regulators and the legacy industry.” Why? There’s a lack of cooperation with legacy just as there’s complete negligence towards patients/MMP issues, from DOH & now OCM. Delusion is *THE* NY state of mind..

“In April 2021, an investigator ordered the destruction of 127 pounds (57.6 kilograms) of Verano inventory because some “may have been swept up from the floor” and contaminated.” How are those home grow regs coming @nys_cannabis?! Many of these are literally our ROs ffs 🤦‍♂️

If we want to talk about equity, this should be a no-brainer. Not everyone can home cultivate indoors & outdoor solutions should be encouraged. This would be great for so many NYers - let’s see this bill move early January 2023!

"Hi is there any progress on this bill?" — Michael_McGuire disq.us/p/2px3ohv Seems like people are starting to get interested in the idea of allowing home cultivation in community gardens - let @SenatorCooney you support nysenate.gov/legislation/bi… in New York

“Compassionate care” in NYS, where the MSOs rip you off & @nys_cannabis is too busy trying to make the world think they know what they’re doing to gaf about patients & how dysfunctional our program is. $400/oz, w/possible shorting of 5.6grams at👇 rate?

Will medical patients be able to purchase medicine from CAURDs free of all AU-taxes? If not, what steps is the @nys_cannabis taking today to expand patient access? When will new med locations be set up, “RO” be redefined, and/or ROs be licensed to expand access?

“Is it profitable?” The reason many NY patients wanting CBD rich strains were denied over the years & why home grow should never have been prohibited from day 1. Shareholders DGAF about our health, & denying home grow now shows @nys_cannabis doesn’t either! Let us grow w/o fear!

If the medical cannabis industry was actually what it claims to be those involved would be looking for unique plant extracts to treat individual symptoms. Not something that would sell well. It's all about money. Instead, they want a top seller with intoxicating side effects.



I just wanna be able to say I got some weed from @ChipotleTweets’s Chipotlane. “I’d like a bowl, chips, and a zip of your strongest Indica!”

Curaleaf is using this funny math to inflate their THC %s knowing most won’t question or request a COA. So what did the Purple Urkel actually test at? 4%, 5%? Is this to pad the @nys_cannabis pockets with unnecessary THC tax? Or is it for AU-goods only they’ll be truthful? WTF

“Tremaine Wright broke the news..that the ROs are not going to just be able to enter the adult-use market whenever they want.” Unsaid: they won’t define un/underserved communities for new RO locations for opening more, register new “ROs”& won’t green light HOMEGROW immediately.

“We understand that the OCM and CCB is comprised of people, and people make mistakes….when those mistakes are pointed out, there has to be humility and there has to be an intention to right wrongs — and this is one of the wrongs that needs to be righted.” Talking about MMP or ⬇️


This ⬇️ is why I begged and pleaded with you for years when the MRTA couldn’t pass the finish line. Now medical is being ignored all over again (& why you can’t vote to shut off our gray mkt options again) @LizKrueger @SenGianaris @NYSenatorRivera @AndreaSCousins

If @nys_cannabis does not increase medical retail stores or register new ROs (fully possible in accordance with MRTA goals), will they allow medical patients to make medical purchases at AU stores (ie medical pricing, w/o AU taxes)? No? Then you need to fix it while setting up AU

The U.S. Supreme Court and its conservative majority have dominated headlines recently. But our state has the same problem. It’s called the New York Court of Appeals, and thanks to Cuomo and the state Senate, we have a far-right majority of our own. Here’s how we can fix it. 🧵
