Marijuana Business Magazine January 2019

January 2019 | mjbizdaily.com 29 New York Home medical marijuana delivery is expanding, and liquor stores are aiming to enter the MJ space. Curaleaf plans to join Vireo Health and Columbia Care in offering MMJ deliveries in New York. Home delivery is important to New York’s 10 medical marijuana companies, since they’re limited to four store- fronts apiece. Additionally, a group of wine and liquor store owners called The Last Store on Main Street has been lobbying state lawmakers for the right to sell cannabis alongside licensed MMJ companies. A bill to legalize adult-use marijuana in New York is expected to be introduced during the upcoming 2019 legislative session, which begins Jan. 3. North Dakota State voters rejected a ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana. “This is what happens when you’re outspent more than 5 to 1,” said Cole Haymond, political adviser to Legalize ND. “Our opponents are pushing the ‘sky is falling message should this pass,’ and we don’t have the funds to push back.” Hay- mond said he’s not sure yet whether local activists, who were the backbone of the North Dakota campaign, would try again in 2020.
