Long Island hemp farmers got the green light to grow marijuana Tuesday after Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill allowing them to obtain conditional licenses to cultivate cannabis.
The goal of the bill is to fast track the state’s recreational marijuana program which had been moving slowly early on.
One owner of a hemp farm says he will certainly begin growing cannabis once he’s allowed.
Hemp farmer David Falkowski says he’s ready to start planting marijuana at his farm, Open Minded organics in Bridgehampton.
Falkowski says growing weed will earn him and his workers a lot of money.
