Podcast appearances and mentions of David C Holland

New York is projected to become the nation's second largest legal cannabis market after California with an estimated $4.2 billion market within 5 years. BUT as of now there are still a LOT of of very 'gray' legal areas being worked on. You can legally possess up to 3oz. of cannabis in NY and you can legally consume it and legally gift it, but you cannot legally sell it for adult use ...yet. So when will NY see it's first dispensaries open? Most likely October according to New Yorks Most Sought After Cannabis Lawyers who are rampng up for what's to come. 'Prince Lobel' the nations most trailblazing cannabis law firm, is expanding its offices to New York City and White Plains, NY. They've tapped New York's most 'in demand' cannabis lawyers to join forces with them. Cannabis law superstars James (Jim) K. Landau, Douglas S. Trokie, and David C. Holland ae now working together. They took time out of their crazy busy scedules to join me to share what's going on behind the scenes in the NY cannabis industry right now. All three have been working, studying, learning and speaking and basically ramping up for when licensing is up and running. They're very busy writing the rules and regulations for what the marektplace will look like. If you want to know what's going on, tune in to this podcast interview and hear all three top cannabis lawyers tell you what's happening and what to expect in real time.  For one thing the 148 pre-existing hemp farmers in NY were just given the green light to put the first THC crop in the ground which should be ready this October. And NY State is going to build out storefronts for the first 150 dispenasry card licensees to help them avoid high start up costs to get going.  We talk about everyhting from social justice issues to how soon the banking industry is going to do something about all that dispensary cash being driven around.  Enlightening for sure.  Enjoy!                        

New York City Cannabis Law with David C. Holland Principal of The Law Offices of David Clifford Holland P.C. today on Blunt Business only on The Cannabis Radio. Our next guest is a New York City-based cannabis law and criminal defense attorney and executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws' Empire State chapter. New York State will soon announce plans to usher in its first outlets for retail sales of adult-use cannabis by the end of the year. However, to be one of the state's first licensed retailers, you or a member of your family must have been convicted of a cannabis-related offense. This is part of a concerted push to assure that early business owners will be members of communities that have been affected by the nation's decades-long war on drugs. With that said, many vendors are not waiting for a license to get started.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/blunt-business1131/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
