New York marijuana regulators on Wednesday approved dozens of conditional adult-use dispensary licenses in a session during which members also discussed adopting bylaws for how the board runs meetings and makes decisions.

The Cannabis Control Board – which now includes newly appointed member Dr. Jennifer Gilbert Jenkins – approved 30 new Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary (CAURD) licenses, and one new Adult-Use Conditional Processing license. The board also permitted five additional laboratories to do cannabis testing.

“We are so excited to continue to roll out this CAURD program,” said Office of Cannabis Management Executive Director Chris Alexander, who noted that CAURD licensee Smacked this week opened the state’s first dispensary owned by a justice-involved individual. “We’re really excited to see these folks get up and running.”

Most of the new licenses approved went to dispensaries that will be located in NYC (15), Long Island (6), and the Capital Region (3). With Wednesday’s tranche of CAURD licensees, the state has now approved 66 conditional dispensary licenses.
