thomas Posted July 31 Author Report Share Posted July 31 New York law enforcement officials have passed the 1,000-shop mark in their quest to close down thousands of illegal marijuana shops, Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams proudly announced on Wednesday. New York City alone has sealed illicit cannabis shops 779 times, Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday. Another 230 have been shuttered across the rest of the state. Hochul said that as illegal shops have closed, legal dispensary sales have climbed correspondingly. She said she’d spoken directly to several licensed recreational cannabis shop owners who reported strong sales increases of between 100% and 3,000% since the recent enforcement effort began this year. Hochul also emphasized that many of the unlicensed shops were selling not just illegal marijuana but cannabis laced with other “chemicals,” which Hochul said sometimes included fentanyl. https://www.greenmarketreport.com/new-yorks-operation-padlock-closes-1000-illegal-cannabis-shops-officials-announce/ For NY growers : Voice of the Plant is bringing best-in-class genetics from Europe and the United States for a first-of-its-kind collaboration with MJBizCon, taking place Dec. 3-6 in Las Vegas.
