Total Cannabis, Inc has received a new retail license in New York, according to the state license roster. The authorization arrives as part of a broader licensing wave: state records show at least eight other operators—including GANJA GARDEN and MAD GIO LLC in retail, plus cultivators, manufacturers, and distributors—were licensed on the same date.

New York's adult-use market currently operates 880 open retail locations alongside 252 cultivation sites and 515 manufacturing facilities, with 425 applications still pending. The licensing activity suggests continued momentum in the state's build-out, though the scale and pace of new entrants remain subject to regulatory capacity and compliance verification.
