Year-end Summary Wrap from the NYS Office of :

High New York,

As we close out 2024, we reflect on a year of tremendous progress, milestones, and growth for New York’s cannabis industry.

From opening 270+ Adult-Use Retail Stores and surpassing $800 million in cumulative sales, to launching transformative programs like the Community Reinvestment Program Grants (CRPG), this year has been one of incredible progress.

None of it would be possible without the dedication of our licensees, the support of our community partners and stakeholders, and the resilience of New Yorkers like you. Together, we are building a market rooted in equity, opportunity, and innovation.

Thank you for being a vital part of this journey. As we prepare to step into a new year, we look forward to continuing this momentum and achieving even greater milestones in 2025. Here’s to a safe, joyful holiday season and an exciting road ahead for New York cannabis!
