New York State of Politics reports that another lawsuit has been filed against the New York state Office of Cannabis Management. Currently, a lawsuit is blocking cannabis stores from opening in five regions of the state, including the Hudson Valley. The new lawsuit comes from some of New York's medical cannabis companies. They are asking the court to make state regulations come from the state Legislature, not the Office of Cannabis Management.

Meanwhile, the fourth cannabis store in the state opened this week in Ithaca. Read the full story at New York State of Politics.
