Yeji Lee from Business Insider recently talked with founding partner Jay Czarkowski to get insights on how businesses might enter New York’s new adult-use cannabis program.
“Of course, the rules could change, said Jay Czarkowski, cofounder of Canna Advisors, a cannabis business consultancy. He told Insider that the prohibition on vertical integration in New York may act as a deterrent for some of the larger companies, but that it could be lifted as cannabis regulations often change.” – Jay Czarkowski

As more states come online with adult-use, questions about advertising and marketing are top of mind for cannabis brands.
When AdAge asked about impacts to restrictions and regulations, our own Lisa Jordan shared this perspective:
Platforms like Facebook and Twitter, and paid search, will continue to be restrictive or simply off-limits to cannabis advertisers, and will likely remain that way until cannabis becomes legal at the federal level.
“Hopefully, the industry can put enough weight and influence behind a concerted effort to get these platforms to come around,” says Lisa Jordan, VP of marketing at Canna Advisors. “With digital and social, of all mediums, they should open up to cannabis advertisers given the ability to target only where cannabis is legal.”

Jay Czarkowski, founding partner of the marijuana business consulting firm Canna Advisors, said Oklahoma’s medical marijuana program has grown rapidly.
“The medical marijuana program in Oklahoma, it’s such an open, liberal program, it is almost like adult-use legalization,” Czarkowski said.
The risk, however, is this would be a new style of tax for cannabis and therefore could create some headaches in calculating, noted Jay Czarkowski, founding partner of Canna Advisors, a consultancy group. THC is measured as a percentage—similar to alcohol content—in some products and by weight in others.
The question for any tax on cannabis is whether it raises prices to the point that buyers would stick to the tax-free illicit market. New York City’s underground market for marijuana is among the world’s largest.

New Jersey is “the big domino” when it comes to the Northeast moving into the 21st century of cannabis laws. While the adult-use program in New Jersey is likely to spur action across the region, there will be differences in reality between polar regions of the state and how quickly and how far other state programs progress.
