MEET HILLARY PECKHAM: THE 25 YEARS OLD YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR AND ONE OF THE FIVE LICENSED CANNABIS PRODUCERS FOR NEW YORK
Haneesh Katnawer [Business], [Success Stories] hillary.JPG Hillary Peckham is just 25 years old, but she is already the Chief Operations Officer for Etain, LLC, the only woman-owned, family-run medical marijuana registered organization in New York.
Etain was awarded one of just five coveted licenses to produce medical cannabis in New York. The license includes a 22,000-square-foot cultivation and processing facility and four dispensary locations across the state, in Kingston, Albany, Syracuse, and Yonkers.
Since opening doors in January 2016, Etain watched the medical cannabis program in New York grow from just 51 patients to more than 31,000. With the addition of chronic pain as a qualifying condition, the program will only continue to expand and has inspired at least one new product from the dispensary.
