Legal challenges over the state's permitting process have left more than 400 provisional licensees in limbo. Marijuana farmers are reeling because there are too few stores to sell their harvest.State regulators are now expanding the market amid those troubles. They recently opened up a 60-day general application window to grow, process, distribute or sell marijuana, expecting to issue more than 1,000 new licenses. New rules also will allow companies licensed to grow and sell medical marijuana in New York to get into the recreational market.The moves are expected to boost the number of legal dispensaries in a market now dominated by black-market sellers who simply opened retail stores without a license. But the prospect of competing with the medical providers worries some farmers and retailers who fear being squeezed by deeper-pocketed companies before they had a chance to establish themselves.“My concern is that they have all the money to bleed us out,” said Coss Marte, whose opening of CONBUD dispensary in Manhattan was pushed back by a lawsuit against state regulators. “They’re vertically integrated. So now what they could do is ... grow their own product at the cheapest price and basically outbid all the farmers, all our products and all our pricing.”Critics blame New York’s slow retail growth partly on bureaucratic issues, like delays in setting up a $200 million “social equity” fund to help applicants open shops. The rollout also was hobbled by lawsuits on behalf of people and businesses excluded from the first wave of retail licenses. Marte's shop was among those temporarily blocked by a judge from opening after a group sued on behalf of disabled veterans, saying they were wrongly excluded from applying for a license. Marte, who has a past drug arrest, was paying rent on a store he could not open.A judge recently ruled that Marte's store and several others could open. But the fate of many other provisional license holders, like Carson Grant of New York City, was unclear. After months of delays in opening his store in Queens, he was debating whether to reapply for a license again in this general round.“It's very difficult emotionally,” he said.Reginald Fluellen, senior consultant with the Cannabis Social Equity Coalition, blamed the state for a botched rollout.“They’ve failed miserably in providing the justice-involved individuals the kind of head start, the kind of foothold, in the market that they promised," Fluellen said.Under new regulations, medical marijuana providers could begin retail recreational sales at one of their existing dispensaries as early as Dec. 29. They could begin selling recreational pot at two more dispensaries six months after that. The entry price for those companies is steep: a $20 million licensing fee, with $5 million due upfront. But multiple companies are expected to jump in.“We expect New York to be the hub, or one of the hubs, for legal cannabis on the East Coast,” said Curaleaf CEO Matt Darin. “And so we’re very bullish and we’ve invested a lot of capital and time to be able to maximize the opportunity.”Curaleaf, which operates in multiple states, has already invested $50 million in New York, most of it on a recently expanded indoor growing facility south of Albany that now serves the medical market. Rows of plants there mature in intensely lit rooms where humidity, temperature and nutrition are tightly controlled — a scene in stark contrast to the fields and greenhouses that have defined New York’s adult-use market since growing started last year.Curaleaf will be able to double the size of the facility’s canopy to 64,000 square feet, or about 1.5 acres (0.61 hectares), if the market dictates, said Joe Holland, an executive vice president.To guard against retail monopolies, the medical providers will be limited to three retail outlets. And in a nod to farmers, their shops will initially have to devote half their shelf space to products grown and processed by independent businesses.Still, critics say the state should have allowed more time for economically and socially diverse entrepreneurs to succeed before letting in larger competitors.Joseph Calderone of Grateful Valley Farm, near the Pennsylvania border, compared it to little hardware stores competing against big box stores. Large indoor facilities, he said, can produce multiple crops a year. Meanwhile, farms having trouble selling their crops are “teetering on the edge of failure,” he said.“We were given a fair chance to grow. We were asked to do that," he said. "We kept our promise. The state did not keep their promise.” Office of Cannabis Management executive director Chris Alexander said the new regulations maintain New York’s commitment to social and economic equity, while keeping the market more competitive than in other states. That includes giving priority consideration for social and equity applicants in the current round.While acknowledging there was some “frustration” in getting retail stores open, Alexander said the state has shown a market supplied by small farmers can work. "We've got some of the top-performing dispensaries in the country right here in New York," Alexander saidAnd there’s still room to grow. Regulators have estimated New York will eventually require at least 2,000 dispensaries to meet demand. “I think there’s enough business to go around,” said Christian Chavez, CEO of Statis Cannabis Co. He said sales have been good since they opened their dispensary in the Bronx in July. “I think it’ll be quite some time until this market gets saturated in New York.”。《中国（福建）自由贸易试验区厦门片区“十五五”实施自贸试验区提升战略专项规划》（以下简称《专项规划》）日前正式出台。这份规划期为2026年至2030年的纲领性文件，以“大胆试、大胆闯、自主改”的改革精神，描绘了厦门自贸片区未来五年的发展蓝图。根据《专项规划》，到“十五五”末，厦门自贸片区在服务打造新发展格局节点城市、建设两岸融合发展示范区等方面取得重大进展，以贸易、投资、资金流动、交通运输、人员往来自由便利和数据安全有序流动为重点的政策体系更加健全，国内国际双循环重要节点、重要通道功能充分彰显，为扩大高水平对外开放再立新功的目标基本实现；围绕制度创新、政策创新、服务创新多出一些制度性、政策性成果，开放创新动能不断增强，科技创新和产业创新深度融合。同时，综合保税区发展绩效评估保持全国A类。《专项规划》呈现出四大鲜明特点：一是突出落实国家战略，围绕高水平对外开放，提出实施世贸组织《促进发展的投资便利化协定》等国际规则，以更大力度的开放试验应对全球贸易变局。二是聚焦提升战略主线，着力推进科技创新与产业创新深度融合，推动片区扩能提质与转型发展。
