• Ulster County cannabis market expands five years after legalization (dailyfreeman.com) — Marbletown now has one of Ulster County's 14 licensed cannabis dispensaries, as the legal market continues to spread from Ellenville to Woodstock. County officials say limited municipal opt-outs helped fuel this growth and believe there's still room for more shops, while emphasizing goals like safety testing and reducing the black market.
