CAURD licensees are the first retail dispensaries to open for legal adult-use cannabis sales in New York State.
An Overview
Conditional Adult-use Retail Dispensary (CAURD)

CAURD licensees are the first retail dispensaries to open for legal adult-use cannabis sales in New York State, establishing businesses owned by justice-involved individuals at the bedrock of New York’s adult-use cannabis market. CAURD licensees are positioned to make New York’s first legal cannabis sales before the end of 2022, speeding the delivery of investments into communities across New York State that were impacted by the disproportionate enforcement of cannabis prohibition.
