Empire State Cannabis Update: Roadmap for Navigating the Rules of the Adult-Use Market

In our last article, we covered the proposed Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary (“CAURD”) regulations. During the public comment period, the Cannabis Control Board received more than 600 public comments. After addressing commenters’ concerns, the Board approved the final regulations. On August 3, 2022, the Office of Cannabis Management (“OCM”) adopted the CAURD regulations by filing them with the state registrar.
