Bronx Assembly Member tours dispensaries, calls for crackdown on illegal cannabis and easing rules for legal shops

Assembly Member John Zaccaro Jr. visited three Bronx cannabis dispensaries Tuesday as part of a fact-finding mission to see how state lawmakers can better support legal operators.

Zaccaro kicked off the tour with a press conference at Hush New York, a licensed dispensary on Williamsbridge Road, less than a block from a shuttered illicit cannabis store. He made clear the need to get rid of vendors peddling pot without a license.
