Today we speak to Joe Schafer, a lawyer with Lippes Mathias Law Firm in Buffalo, NY, for his insights into how entrepreneurs are dealing with the states slow industry rollout. We talk about the legal injunction holding up social equity licenses, and why Upstate NY urgently needs dispensaries open for farmers and brands to sell their products and to get money flowing through the marketplace. Farmers are sitting on 300,000 pounds of cannabis crop from their last harvest and are at risk of losing one billion dollars in resale value if they don't sell it.
