NYS is still working on the details as to who gets commercial weed licenses, but what is cool about the law is that 50 percent of the licenses will go to “equity applicants” which includes disabled vets, minorities, women, and people with prior pot convictions.
I hit two of those boxes (female, got busted in 2002), am nearing retirement, have a few assets and am known in my circle for my edibles (infused and otherwise)
I’ve done pop up art shows with some branding and my vision is a boutique farm to table type establishment. Small, high end and artsy product. Profitability would be nice, but it will also be a labor of love.
Having my own grow will allow me greater control over the end product (right now I get prepared butter from a farmer friend) and I’m literally “soaking” in the tincture thread right now.
Anyway, I’m great with vision but shitty with business and would love to connect with an experienced marijuana business person.
