NYC Weed Crackdown Nets More Than $4 Million in Illegal Products
Authorities have seized more than 100,000 cannabis products worth more than $4 million in New York City as part of an effort to clear the way for licensed vendors as the state tries to legalize — and tax — a lucrative retail market for marijuana.
State and city enforcement agencies said at a briefing Thursday they had issued 66 criminal charges and 500 civil summonses over two weeks in November and December as part of the crackdown.
