New York Office of Cannabis Management

The Office of Cannabis Management is a proposed agency of the New York state government. It was announced by Governor Andrew Cuomo in the January 2019 State of the State address. The office would be charged with the regulation and taxation of the cannabis industry in the State of New York, following legislation of recreational cannabis which was widely expected to occur during the 2019 legislative session.[1][2] Tax revenue taken in by the agency was estimated by the Governor to start at $83 million in 2021 and rise to $300 million at full implementation in 2023.[3]
