Jon Campbell is reporting in the Poughkeepsie Journal the state's developing medical marijuana program continues to struggle due to a lack of sales. Nearly two years after the program was launched, the state's five medical marijuana companies have failed to generate revenue. According to state tax-collection data, the program grossed only $16 million, before taxes, expenses or other overhead expenses, from April 2016 through August 2017. Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Budget Division initially projected $4 million in marijuana tax revenue in 2016-17. For the state to receive that amount, sales would have to total more than $57 million. Revenue has begun to steadily increase in recent months, and supporters hope this means the program is headed in the right direction. The sales figures have medical-marijuana companies questioning how long the state can feasibly sustain the program, especially as the Department of Health moves to add five new companies to the list of approved providers.
