The New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) announced that letters have been sent to businesses that are suspected of illegally selling cannabis to order them to stop.
The letter informs the businesses that continuing to sell cannabis illegally, including the act of gifting, would risk the opportunity to get a license in the legal market in addition to substantial fines and possible criminal penalties.
There have been at least 24 violators who have been ordered to stop illegally selling cannabis at their place of business without obtaining a license properly.
