LEEF Closes on New York Type 1 Cannabis Processor License
LEEF has officially closed on the acquisition of a Type 1 Cannabis Processor License in New York. This is a plant-touching license that allows the Company to engage in extraction, blending, and infusion, as well as packaging, labeling, and branding its products. This milestone positions LEEF Brands as a multi-state operator (MSO) and marks the first phase of bringing its extensive experience crafting concentrates in California to the East Coast.

LEEF plans to replicate its proven California operations, tailored to meet the unique demands of the New York market. New York has grown from a $160 million cannabis retail market in 2023 to $1 billion in 2024, with projections of $1.5 billion in retail sales in 2025. With concentrates used in approximately 55% of cannabis products sold in New York, this license presents a significant opportunity for LEEF to leverage its extraction capabilities and support the brands driving growth in the region.
