Don’t forget to tell the whole story when you’re out there telling people I’m the bad guy #grifters

The amount of people who will try to make money off of me while not at all supporting me is wild

@nhcannapatient @boxbrown Probably. Because if someone reports ya, they’ll send the SLA & 15 cops

should we start calling dinner parties unregulated dining experiences?

@bradracino You’re the best! Thank you for always taking the type to write these out 👑

[END rant]

OK that's enough from me. We'll have more in a story coming soon. BUT I will leave with this: -It's terrific news for the state's cannabis industry AND taxpayers that someone (OGS) FINALLY looked into this mess in depth, found problems, and identified solutions.

Yes, I'm fired up because this has been my life for the past 3 years, but I can't stand that people playing politics, jockeying for their next gov't gig, are destroying lives and livelihoods, when they have all the tools needed to figure out ALL the issues and FIX them, quickly.

"Individuals and units crafting policy are also involved in the processing of individual applications, which can create the appearance of conflicts of interest." ----------- YA DON'T SAY (again)

"The task force has yet to receive the past two years of internal controls documents or past internal audit reports, and the New York State Division of the Budget has not received any internal controls documents as required." --No reporting.

"The lack of depth in operations experience in its executive ranks impacts OCM’s ability to appropriately scale programs, anticipate challenges, and mitigate operational risks." --You don't say?

"OCM underspent its Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget by $26 million, leaving resources untapped that could have been leveraged to clear its significant licensing backlog." ---Contrast that with the "we need more money and resources" line heard over and again over the past two years.

@bradracino The question was asked if the applicants knew they were being denied prior to this meeting and Chris Alexander said yes

"As of April 10, OCM determined 309 applications should be denied, including 248 from the 2022 CAURD program, but has not notified applicants CCB." --Can you imagine how much money these people have wasted waiting on an approval, when they should have known they were denied?

Just gonna live-tweet my reading of this OGS report because, damn. A 🧵 ...

RACKETEERING IS OKAY WHEN ITS THE APPOINTED GOVERNMENT

I have friends who won’t drink bc their parents were alcoholics growing up. I wonder if our youth will hate smart phones because they watched their parents be irrational with them.

AI for writing is like using a face filter for selfies

You can always tell when something was written with AI and it’s always whack

Some of y’all are so ugly on the outside because of how ugly you are on the inside

Did they leave out the part where they tried to use us?
