New York cannabis regulation history

New York cannabis regulation history

New York’s cannabis journey began in 2014 with the Compassionate Care Act, legalizing medical cannabis. In 2021, the Marijuana Regulation and Tax Act (MRTA) legalized recreational marijuana, setting the stage for a robust adult-use cannabis market. However, the rollout has faced challenges, including unlicensed dispensaries and regulatory uncertainty.

Now, with the state’s transition to the BioTrack seed-to-sale tracking system, New York is entering a new era of compliance. By January 17, 2025, all licensees must notify the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) of their chosen inventory tracking system that integrates with the BioTrack API. This system will be mandatory for tracking inventory from cultivation through sale to ensure compliance with state regulations.

To support this transition, the OCM has launched BioTrack training webinars and has committed to subsidizing $250,000 in initial inventory tag purchases for licensees. These changes signal the state’s effort to streamline operations and bring clarity to its growing cannabis market.

Now is the time to prepare for compliance and capitalize on the opportunities in New York’s burgeoning cannabis industry.

New York (NY) FAQ's
Laws and Regulations

When will BioTrack integration be required for different license holders in New York?

All cannabis licensees in New York must complete integration with BioTrack NY’s inventory tracking system by the following deadlines:

  • August 1, 2025 – Cultivators, Micro Businesses, Registered Organizations (ROs), and Permitted Laboratories
  • September 1, 2025 – Processors and Distributors
  • October 1, 2025 – Retail Dispensaries

What does “integration with BioTrack NY” mean?

Integration refers to using a real-time electronic inventory tracking system—such as GrowFlow—that connects to the state’s BioTrack NY compliance system via an API. Manual tracking using paper or spreadsheet-based tools is not compliant. All product movements and inventory changes must be recorded in real-time.

Is GrowFlow compliant with New York’s BioTrack integration requirements?

Yes, with a caveat. GrowFlow is compatible with the BioTrack NY API and supports real-time inventory tracking. Our platform ensures your operations meet state regulations effortlessly. However, BioTrack has not formally named their approved integrators as of May 2025.

What happens if my system isn’t integrated with BioTrack NY on time?

Licensees who fail to meet the integration deadline risk fines, license renewal complications, and restrictions on amendments or additional license approvals. It is critical to ensure your tracking system is integrated before your license type’s specific deadline.

Is it mandatory to use BioTrack’s commercial software in New York?

No. Operators are only required to use a system that integrates with the BioTrack government API. GrowFlow meets this requirement seamlessly.

What are inventory tags, and how do I get them?

Inventory tags uniquely identify cannabis products throughout their lifecycle. Tags can be purchased from BioTrack, and the OCM will cover up to $250,000 in initial tag costs across licensees.

How does GrowFlow help my cannabis business stay compliant?

GrowFlow minimizes data entry errors and offers real-time tracking to ensure compliance. Our intuitive system is designed to handle New York’s regulations effortlessly.

Are cannabis operators in New York required to use BioTrack's commercial software for inventory tracking?
