Folks have been asking us why in a legal adult use state, there are still arrests for the  sale of recreational cannabis. After the smoke shop raid in Bay Ridge a couple of weeks ago, there has been a lot of confusion around what the NYS Cannabis laws ACTUALLY mean.

It is a common concern that the non licensed and unregulated NYS cannabis businesses leave room for a lack of consumer protection. We are now in the midst of an emerging legal adult-use market, a regulated medical market, a pre-existing “black”/legacy and this grey market which thrives during the transitionary time before regulation. During these times, as community, our main focus should be:
 
 
Continued education about WHAT you are smoking 
&
Continued support and clear information for the businesses & individuals who have contributed to our pre-existing cannabis market. 
 
 
 
 
As Consumers we need to be fully educated on the businesses from which we are purchasing- regulated or not- as well as the plants and products we put into or on our bodies.
