Connections: Understanding cannabis law in NYS

CITY Magazine reporter Gino Fanelli recently paid $65 for a T-shirt at a local CBD store. An eighth of an ounce of marijuana came as a complementary "gift" with the purchase. As Fanelli reports, it's one way retailers are working around state law, which prevents retail sales of the plant. The law does allow adults to transfer or give up to three ounces of marijuana to each other without compensation. This hour, we examine cannabis law and the future of the recreational market with our guests: Gino Fanelli , reporter for CITY Magazine Senator Jeremy Cooney (D, WF) , District 56 Jason Klimek , attorney and co-leader of the Cannabis Team at Barclay Damon Steve VanDeWalle , founder of Nesstiva; executive writer and co-host of the Cannabis Cum Laude podcast; and co-founder of Vandy's, an emerging craft cannabis brand in Rochester
