The U.S. Government Just Announced Unexpected Marijuana News

The legalization of marijuana has been a hot topic in recent years. At the end of July, New York State officials gave five organizations licenses to grow and sell medical marijuana. This new step towards legalization includes dispensaries in New York City.


Five Organizations Approved
Each of the five organizations that will be granted licenses by the state of New York, and they will be required to be registered and in business within six months. Of the five organizations, each plans to open about four dispensaries.
 

Compassionate Care Act

These dispensaries will be made possible by the Compassionate Care Act, which went into effect in July 2014. The Act made it known that legislators in the state of New York believed the rules surrounding medical marijuana were too restricted.

A Major Milestone

New York State’s health commissioner Dr. Howard A. Zucker called the program “a major milestone” in the medical cannabis program. Given the large pool of people, there are dispensaries planned for the Bronx, Queens and Manhattan.
