Aleece Burgio Interviewed by WBEN on Adult-Use Cannabis Legalization in NYS

Aleece Burgio, Cannabis Team leader, was interviewed for two WBEN segments detailing the regulations on adult-use cannabis if it is legalized in New York State. Aleece explained how regulations will impact cannabis producers, processors, distributors, retailers, and consumers. Aleece highlighted that adult-use cannabis regulations will have similarities to alcohol regulations, especially considering the Office of Cannabis Management is a branch of the State Liquor Authority.

Aleece also answered questions about how soon consumers in New York State can expect to be able to purchase legalized adult-use cannabis, the type of licenses that will be available under the MRTA and CRTA, and how people can get into the cannabis industry ahead of cannabis legalization.
