Hochul calls on big tech companies to crackdown on illicit weed shops

By Aidan Graham Posted on February 28, 2024

“Strengthening New York’s equitable cannabis industry and protecting the hard-working small business owners operating in the legal market are top priorities, and the best way to accomplish those goals is by expediting the shutdown of unlicensed shops,” Hochul said at a Feb. 28 press conference in Midtown, where she was flanked by legal marijuana vendors to announce several steps to further combat illicit weed shops around the state.
