New York onboarding queue is open — full launch pending METRC vendor approval.

OCM
Coming soonNew York OCM-aware dispensary platform
Native compliance hooks for New York OCM rules under MRTA. State 9% retail excise + 4% local cannabis tax stack, BioTrack-to-METRC traceability transition handling, and the medical / adult-use / Conditional Adult-Use lane separation OCM requires.

https://cannabis.ny.gov ↗Statutes that bite
| Citation | Subject |
|---|---|
| Cannabis Law Article 4 | MRTA — Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act (2021) |
| 9 NYCRR Part 113 | OCM adult-use cannabis program rules |
| 9 NYCRR Part 119 | OCM packaging, labeling, marketing + advertising rules (some of the strictest in the country) |
| Cannabis Law §492 | Adult-use retail license framework + CAURD priority |
| Tax Law §493-c | 9% state cannabis excise + local 4% optional add-on |
Tax stack
Excise
9% New York state cannabis excise on adult-use retail sales (Tax Law §493-c). Medical sales exempt under MRTA phase-in. Excise applies to gross retail receipts, not wholesale cost-basis (different from NJ's SEEF).
Sales / Use
No general sales tax on cannabis at retail — the 9% excise replaces it for adult-use; medical separately exempt. Auto-tagged so general-sales-tax routines don't double-charge.
Local option
4% local cannabis tax — composed of 3% county + 1% municipality (Tax Law §493-c). Auto-derived per store address; counties + cities each opt-in independently, so the local stack varies block-to-block in NYC.
Compliance topics surfaced in-platform
- Age 21+ adult-use / 18+ medical / 21+ CAURD lane separation with split traceability
- BioTrack → METRC transition handling (OCM announced migration; reconciliation export shaped to whichever is live for the operator's transition cohort)
- Patient registry lookup hook (medical / Registered Organization profile)
- OCM advertising-restriction framework — strictest in the country (no celebrity endorsements, no non-cannabis-context imagery, no claims of relative potency, geofenced opt-in for SMS)
- CAURD (Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary) license-vertical-restriction handling
What ships on day-1 for NY
- Adult-use vs medical vs CAURD lanes with separate excise + tax stacks
- 9% state + 4% local excise stack derivation per store address (county + city independent opt-in)
- Traceability dual-mode (BioTrack legacy + METRC transition) with operator-selectable cohort
- Manager write-up assistant configurable to NY labor + OCM rule taxonomy + the strict advertising rules surfaced inline
We serve here — honestly
We don’t operate stores in New York. We do follow OCM bulletins, the BioTrack→METRC transition timeline, and the advertising-restriction framework that catches operators off guard most often. CannAgent ships NY support with the same compliance discipline we apply to WSLCB — and we’ll say it directly when something’s off.
