It’s never been easier to buy California’s cannabis in New York City. There’s just one problem — none of this pot is legal.
in the absence of legal retailers, and these stores are “absolutely” selling pot that appears to be coming from California, according to Matt Karnes, a cannabis industry analyst who lives in New York.Karnes isn’t the only person who has noticed California weed on the shelves of these illegal New York dispensaries. A cannabis executive recently quoted inestimated that 99% of the pot sold in the city’s illegal dispensaries had California labels on it.
Industry experts told SFGATE that New York is getting weed from two different types of California sources: some pot grown on legal California pot farms is being sent to New York, while other weed grown at illegal farms is being labeled with forged packaging to make it appear to be a regulated California product.David Hafner, a spokesperson for the California Department of Cannabis Control, said the agency “continues to work to combat this illicit activity.
Wesley Hein, a board member of the California Cannabis Manufacturers Association, said it’s easy to buy counterfeit packaging in Los Angeles or on the internet. This counterfeit packaging became popular in 2018, he said, when shoppers couldn’t find their preferred brands in California’s new recreational market.
