New York’s legal marijuana market was plagued with problems from the start.

License holders have struggled to find financing and available retail space. The Office of Cannabis Management, also known as OCM, has been beset with lawsuits — all while illicit shops flooded city streets.

Now Gov. Kathy Hochul, who recently called the rollout a “disaster,” is stepping in.

“The goal is to make the process work,” said Jeanette Moy, commissioner of the state’s Office of General Services.

Under Hochul’s direction, Moy began leading an assessment of OCM’s organization on Monday. She and a team of other state leaders will embed themselves at the office for at least 30 days and formulate an action plan to turn things around.

“This has been a difficult implementation for many reasons,” Moy said. “And our goal is to provide clarity.”

Those in the industry say the understaffed agency could not keep up with the number of applications and created too much red tape. There are currently 83 licensed dispensaries in operation statewide — 37 of them in the city.

“OCM is overwhelmed,” said Jeffrey Hoffman, a cannabis attorney who represents licensees. “We are coming up on the third anniversary of the law, and to only have 80-some-odd stores open is really missing the mark. We should have had hundreds — multiple hundreds — open at this point.”

The goal of the review is to streamline the application process and break the logjam, according to officials.

Moy said she’ll be working in partnership with the agency’s executive director, Chris Alexander, and that her role at OCM will be temporary.

“It is something where the governor is looking for some guidance relatively soon,” Moy said. “She wants to know what we can do and how to move things forward, and I’m looking forward to digging in for her.”

Hoffman said the move is a welcome attempt at oversight.

“That was kind of always an open question: Who’s really doing the oversight here?” he said. “And, you know, apparently the answer was no one. So this is the first real attempt by the governor — the executive branch that the office is in — to do some real oversight and try to really figure out what’s going on, and just try to get us back on the rails.”
