39 thoughts on “Weed Legalization in NEW YORK with Danny Danko and Kyle Kushman”

  1. I live in Chemung County and every single place that opened up here runs as a gift shop. You make a purchase in the shop and you receive a gift of cannabis. Coincidentally, the amount of cannabis product (flower, concentrate, edible) you receive seems to be based directly on how much you've spent on your purchase. These places get shut down and three more pop up. Danny is right, the NYS government and Office of Cannabis Management has fallen on it's face with this. I still shop black market because the prices in these shops are outrageously high for an inferior product. There is tons of really high quality cannabis making it's way here via other legal states and it's available for a lower price if you know the right person.

  2. We have the same problem in New Jersey. I'm a legal operator and we have at least one illegal shop in our town. We have state and local inspections but nothing is done about the illegal operator. It is rough. One thing a lot of people don't know is legal businesses can't write business expenses off on federal taxes. That is about the most unnecessary and unfair business practice I have seen in a while. So we have to compete with a lop sided market and unfair tax practices.
    Thanks for the chat.

  9. I need to meet up with Mr Danko. I agree with everything he's said. Very knowledgeable dude! I would love to teach some home grow classes here in upstate NY

  10. You guys from high times are who got me started your office use to be in the building I use to do summer fill-in at my uncle Paully was your super of the building 419 lol but prob with todays younger groups liking dabs and rosin and hash holes is we had reggi and they have top notch everything so that’s the separation and diff in appreciation I try getting younger dudes interested in the plant that makes that nice rosin cuz that’s what changes them over but when they don’t see the flower and how beautiful they can be and the transformation from step to step in the growing process and you see them change I think guidelines on distribution should be lessened and testing and the testing facilities should have their guidelines tightened cuz there where the problems stem cuz everyone knows test results are bought but idk my opinion is once government steps in screw everything up they’re like the mob but with a legal license to extort businesses and people and manipulate things to work just for them not the people idk but keep it up guys.

  12. Has anyone heard of the old cut called Midnight Oil that was from NY? Man, I wish I could get my hands on it. A guy used to grow it behind a fake wall in an apartment building high rise.

  21. As a NY'er we watched everyone else mess it up. Government bud and concentrate is garbage and ridiculously overpriced. They want $120 for a gram cart. I'm just glad I can legally grow outdoors, not that I or my neighbors ever cared. There's only 3 law officers in the entire county, they never cared either.

  24. Hi. I currently live in NY, and used to be a licensed cannabis researcher in NC for hemp. I live in Upstate NY.. It is so screwed currently.. its crazy.. the wild west…they would not give me an application to be a processor or anything saying they are "not accepting applicants".. Literally just like the tax act back in the 20th century… anyways.. everyone sells it more or less illegally from all the head shops.. every now and then state cops come and bust them.. a few actual "licensed" dispensaries have opened up.. but naturally they are way overpriced.

  25. Check out 14:10 "It is illegal to trade, barter, or “gift” cannabis to someone in exchange for something else. This includes “gifting” cannabis while selling something else (like a t-shirt or a sticker)." <less than 3 ounces is a violation 250$ fine . more than 3 class A misdemeanor

  29. Here is to the steward's of her majesty cannabis. Thanking all breeders cultivators lovers of the master plant. Cannabis breeds passion and homeostasis cb2 receptor inhibits sars2. She is a medicinal treasure trove peace and love

  31. I’m in New Mexico and I think a lt of wonderful conscious cannabis growers and actually live on the tip of Texas and NM sunland park is like rivaling the Vegas strip as this two mile square area that is being developed already has like almost 20 dispensaries and a cookies store which they have gotten better with no pesticides have an amazing one family bliss up up and 🤞🏽❤️💥
