New York is taking new steps to crack down on unlicensed cannabis shops. Gov. Kathy Hochul said more than two dozen businesses have been temporarily shut down. LisaRoznerTV reports.
CBS2 saw more than 1,000 pounds of illicit cannabis confiscated since the beginning of June by the Office of Cannabis Management, or OCM. Authorities say its retail value is up to $11 million.
For repeat offenders, OCM can get a state court order that ultimately padlocks the premises for up to a year,"They've been around for three years now. It's a little ridiculous they're only doing it now. I know a lot of people who bought bad products from these places and gotten really physically ill," Upper East Side resident James Karasyov said.
Hochul did acknowledge the slow rollout of licensed dispensaries, saying now there are 15, and by September, there will be 17. OCM says at licensed shops every product will indicate how much THC is inside products. There will also be a QR code for lab results.
