New York Weed Farmers 'Ruined' After Governor Blocks Massive Marijuana Sale

New York Weed Farmers 'Ruined' After Governor Blocks Massive Marijuana Sale
December 27, 2023 - Newsweek

New York weed farmers said they are "financially ruined" after Governor Kathy Hochul vetoed legislation that would have allowed licensed marijuana growers to sell products to tribal retailers.

The legislation, called the Cannabis Crop Rescue Act, sought to assist farmers grappling with unsold cannabis yields as it would have provided growers with another legal avenue to offload products amid lawsuits and other delays since the sales of legal, regulated adult-use cannabis officially began last December in New York. The bill was passed by both chambers of the Legislature in June and was sponsored by state Senator Michelle Hinchey and Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, who chair their agriculture committees.

However, on Friday, Hochul vetoed the legislation, leaving farmers with the surplus supply as they are unable to offload millions of dollars worth of unsold marijuana.

"Meanwhile, many of our farmers remain financially ruined by circumstances beyond their control," Hinchey and Lupardo said in a statement. "We remain committed to helping the farmers and processors that NY's legal cannabis industry depends on in any way possible."

"We offered a way for some of the oversupply of cannabis grown by NY's farmers to be sold to NY's Tribal Nations. Given the fact that this temporary measure would have expired on December 31st anyway, the veto is hardly a surprise," Hinchey and Lupardo added.

The veto also comes after 66 members of the Legislature sent a letter urging the governor to sign the measure in September, citing the increase in concerns over 250,000 pounds of unsold cannabis.

"Right now, there are over 200 cannabis farmers trying to sell their crops but only 23 dispensaries open statewide," the bipartisan Senate and Assembly members wrote in the open letter to Hochul. "This has resulted in more than 250,000 pounds of unsold cannabis. Farmers who took out loans and leveraged all their assets to cultivate these crops are demoralized and facing financial disaster unless we act quickly to provide them with an alternate market."

The letter continues to emphasize the ongoing challenges farmers face as the legal market grapples with regulatory delays and legal entanglements.

"Regulatory delays, lawsuits, and logistical and financing challenges have caused the state to miss its timelines and targets," the letter said. "However, cultivators are the group paying the steepest price."

So the governor is basically making sure that all that cannabis goes into the black market instead of legal and over the counter?

What's her angle?  I mean she's a fucking horrible governor, people are actually leaving NY because of her.

But is she being paid off by people in NY with a strangehold on the market?  Is she just another elitist kleptocrat?  A racist cunt who thinks those native braves are avoiding taxes?


It's so fucking hard to defend democrats these days.  How is it that the two biggest democratic states have produced the shittiest stinkiest democrat politicians?  California with Newsom, Pelosi and Feinstein and NYC with Adams and Hochul.

No, you can blame the New York Democrats Office of Cannabis Management and the bill writers of the MRTA for that.

Do you, and these democrat politicians think it is ok to further destroy the native peoples chance to grow and sell their own marijuana an build their own economy just so some already rich capitalist europeans can further dominate the native people? I'll remind you that what should be sovereign nations are told they cannot grow  marijuana by the grand European genociders.

What's her angle?  I mean she's a fucking horrible governor, people are actually leaving NY because of her.

The governor is busy supporting genocide of Palestinians. As for paying taxes, I repeat these should be sovereign nations.

They are imperialists and for the drug war, militarism, federal reserve-banks, and corporate control. That is what the capitalist Democrat party is all about. And republicans are the same functionally on those issues.
