New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) signed two new cannabis-related bills into law over the weekend—one to revive the Cannabis Growers Showcase program, where producers sell products directly to consumers at farmers market-style events, and another clarifying that cannabis is categorized as an agricultural crop in the state. Hochul vetoed a separate measure, however, that would have given marijuana businesses more leeway in how they pay taxes. Legislative leaders cheered the two new laws, which they said will support cannabis farmers and help build a more robust legal marijuana market.
