Hey Guys, I´ve got a good friend over, from New York and he told me some crazy (Weed) -Stories. Here is one of them, he wrote it down for the blog. Enjoy! 💚
Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York City, played a significant role in regulating cannabis sales after the state legalized recreational use. His administration took a proactive stance to ensure that only licensed dispensaries could sell cannabis products, leading to a crackdown on unlicensed shops. This move aimed to protect public safety and ensure that sales were conducted legally and responsibly. By focusing on compliance and oversight, Adams sought to eliminate the illegal market and promote equitable access for businesses and communities impacted by previous cannabis laws. His approach reflects a broader effort to create a safe and regulated environment for cannabis consumption in the city.
The peoples opinion:
The reaction of New Yorkers to Mayor Eric Adams' decision to seize cannabis from unlicensed shops was mixed. Many residents and advocates supported the move, viewing it as a necessary step to ensure public safety, regulate the cannabis market, and eliminate illegal sales that could undermine licensed businesses. They believed that regulating cannabis would ultimately benefit communities that had been disproportionately affected by previous drug laws. However, there were also criticisms from those who felt the seizures were too aggressive and unfairly targeted small, often minority-owned businesses that had emerged in the gray market. Some argued that the city should focus more on supporting licensed dispensaries rather than cracking down on unlicensed ones, especially since many consumers had relied on these shops for access to cannabis. Overall, the response highlighted the complexities of transitioning to a regulated cannabis market, with ongoing discussions about equity, safety, and economic impact.
