New York to Start Issuing Pot Store Licenses in 2 WeeksInteresting how they've limited licenses to those convicted or a direct relative that was convicted of a pot related offence and you need to have experience running a business. Just becuase you have experience running a business doen't mean you can run a pot shop because of its specialized products and services.
This reminds me somewhat of Ontario when they opened up the lottery of licenses to anyone and people with absolutely no experience running a pot shop/any business won a license. They then had to partner with existing pot companies so they could operate.
This was also referred to by Boris in his recent interview. Looks like CURA will be supplying some of the products to sell at these pot shops, but I wonder how long before these new businesses find away around the rules to partner with CURA to also help them run their business?
