  • NEW YORK, NEW YORK – JUNE 16: A state of New York notice posted at a business announces the seizure of ‘illicit cannabis’ at the business as authorities crack down on unlicensed smoke shops on June 16, 2023 in New York City. The crackdown on illegal dispensaries comes after New York legalized recreational cannabis use in 2021 but only at approved stores that sell cannabis in a controlled and monitored environment. Since legalization, hundreds of businesses have opened across the city selling cannabis products illegally. Currently, about 10 legal pot shops operate in the state with the most in New York City and those caught selling illegally face fines up to $20,000 per day.
