In 2021, then Gov. Andrew Cuomo legalized recreational marijuana. One year later and sales have yet to start. A start date still hasn't been announced but, officials hope to have sales up and running in early 2022.

Under legislation passed in New York communities in New York State had until Dec. 31, 2021, to opt-out of legal sales of marijuana. Communities that did not make a decision automatically opt-in.

Despite recreational marijuana being legalized many Hudson Valley towns will not allow sales of weed. Below are towns on the list that will not allow marijuana dispensers, according to the Rockefeller Institute of Government.
