A study commisoned by the New York Medical Cannabis Industry Association also found branding violations.
About 40% of cannabis products purchased from 20 illicit stores in New York City were found to contain harmful contaminants such as E. coli, lead and salmonella, according to a report commissioned by the New York Medical Cannabis Industry Association.
One of the products purchased also included double the amount of advertised THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
