About this document
NYC Unlicensed Smoke Shops Testimony by State Senator Liz Krueger is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The testimony discusses the proliferation of unlicensed cannabis shops in NYC since the legalization of adult-use cannabis in NY. It outlines the goals of legalization to build an equitable industry and reinvest tax revenue into communities impacted by drug criminalization. However, a delay in regulating the legal market allowed illegal shops to open, endangering public health and undermining the goals of legalization. Stronger enforcement is needed while supporting the developing legal industry.
