"New York's Legal Cannabis Industry: Booming Sales and the Battle Against Illicit Markets"

New York's legal cannabis industry is taking shape with companies like Honest Pharm Co. and Bristol Extracts leading the way. Honest Pharm Co. has transitioned from growing non-psychoactive hemp to cultivating cannabis for THC products, using cloning techniques to ensure consistency. Bristol Extracts, which also started with hemp, now creates THC distillates for various brands, including fast-acting nano edibles. These products are tested by third parties before reaching retailers like Finger Lakes Cannabis Company, offering consumers standardized and safe options for both recreational and medicinal use.
