In NY, John Kagia Could Be Tapped To Lead Office Of Cannabis Management

Gov. Kathy Hachul is considering a permanent department head for John Kagia, the state’s director of hemp management policy, after a recent shake-up in leadership, Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes said. Since 2022, Kagia has led public health policy and campaigns at the state agency and has worked for more than a decade to develop a legal cannabis market in several states.

“I know they’re talking to John Caguia,” Peoples-Stokes told City & State on Saturday during the Association of Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislators’ 55th annual state legislative conference. Peeples-Stokes, a Democrat from Buffalo, helped create and supported the original law that legalized the recreational use of cannabis for New Yorkers over the age of 21.
