Commissioner Sanderlin shares insights from launching recreational sales, transitioning medical operators, and rolling out a new licensing system designed to balance growth, regulation, and social equity. The conversation explores the realities of operating a highly regulated market, including challenges around local control, illicit competition, and preparing new licensees—many of whom are first-time business owners—for long-term success. Sanderlin also offers a candid perspective on federal reform, the limits of rescheduling versus descheduling, and what it will take to create a sustainable, locally driven cannabis industry in the years ahead.\nJoint Session: Diverse Voices in NYS Cannabis is produced by Herb Barbot, with executive production and marketing by Simlev Media.\nPlease contact us at herb.jointsession@gmail.com if you have any questions or comments, including topics to cover.\nFollow the show on Instagram at jointsession.pod, on BlueSky at @jointsessionpod.bsky.social and on LinkedIn at Joint Session Podcast. \nIf you enjoy the show, leave us a rating and review on your favorite podcast platform.
