New York could soon start to get more recreational marijuana dispensaries after a judge on Friday approved legal settlements to end lawsuits that halted the state’s legal cannabis licensing program.

The settlements lift a court order that has blocked the state from processing or issuing retail marijuana licenses since August. State officials said the agreement will allow more than 400 potential retailers to move forward with pending applications to open storefronts.

“With this settlement behind us, hundreds of new licenses can now move forward, new stores will open, and consumers can legally buy safer, legal, tested cannabis products from New York-based entrepreneurs and small businesses,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement.

    How does the delta 8/10 stuff compare to the real thing? I’m unfortunately unable to use any of them due to a federal job that does random testing.

      The doses are very different. Delta 8 is weaker, so my rule of thumb is that you need to take about 2.5x your normal dose (25mg delta 8 ~= 10mg delta 9). It feels like THC mixed with CBD.

      That said, it also makes me feel groggy and like shit afterwards. I hate the stuff. I don’t trust it.

      No idea on Delta 10, but I generally don’t trust any recreational drug that is made in a lab
