In 2023, about 2 million adults in New York state reported consuming some form of cannabis.

However, only a small portion has a full understanding of cannabis products labeling, which includes ingredients, dosages and if they were legally produced in New York, according to a recent study led by Daniel J. Kruger, research associate professor of community health and health behavior in the UB School of Public Health and Health Professions.

Is it a lack of understanding or apathy? Like it's a market that didn't even have labels not too long ago but was still going strong.
