A North Country resident is speaking out against the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), claiming that the agency failed to deliver on its promise of expedited application reviews for cannabis businesses. According to the individual, the OCM's slow processing times have caused significant delays and financial burdens for entrepreneurs looking to enter the rapidly growing cannabis industry. The OCM was established to oversee the state's cannabis market, which was legalized in 2021, with the goal of creating a streamlined and efficient application process. However, critics argue that the agency's slow pace has hindered the development of the industry and left many hopeful business owners in limbo.
