Current Cannabinoid Hemp Licenses in New York State

As of April 2026, this dataset lists all cannabinoid hemp licenses issued by the New York State Office of Cannabis Management. It provides details on licensed entities, their locations, license status, and validity periods. The data is available in multiple formats and is hosted on official state data platforms.

Use Cases

• Mapping licensee density and market saturation using County, City, and Georeference columns.
• Analyzing license status and business longevity using License Status Code Description, Issued Date, and Expiration Date.
• Identifying business entities and their operational names using Entity Name and DBA columns.
• Verifying business locations and contact information for compliance checks using Address Line 1, Address Line 2, and Business Website.

Strengths

• Contains detailed administrative and geospatial columns, including Georeference, NYS Municipal Boundaries, and Counties for location analysis.
• Cross-platform presence on data.ny.gov and data.gov signals official importance and accessibility.
• Dataset is actively maintained, with updates recorded in April 2026 across multiple sources.

Limitations

• Key metadata like row count, file size, and specific license terms are not provided by any source.
• The two Socrata entries show a date conflict for 'last updated' (2026-04-02 vs. 2026-04-11), creating uncertainty about the most recent version.
• The Data.gov entry lacks column information, limiting assessment of data completeness on that platform.
