New York's adult-use cannabis market is beginning to sprout, literally, with thin-leafed plants stretching toward the sun in farms around the state.

“It is an opportunity, there’s obviously going to be a demand for it,” Popolizio said during a break in planting. “And hopefully it benefits the farmers. Been a long time since there’s been a real cash crop.”
