The owner of 11 stores across NYC that have been selling cannabis illegally has reached a deal where the shops may remain open—and the owner will avoid prosecution—as long as he no longer sells weed and pays hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has reached a deal with the owner of 11 convenience stores across two boroughs that have been selling cannabis illegally. The shops will be allowed to remain open, and the owner will avoid prosecution, as long as he no longer sells weed and pays hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines to the state, Bragg’s office announced on Tuesday.
“Cannabis legalization in New York state was designed to advance racial equity and fairness, and the rules must be followed,” Bragg said in a statement on the action. “Public safety is also harmed when there is such a huge proliferation of unlicensed and unregulated storefronts selling cannabis products that have not been properly inspected.”
– meaning he had more than 5 pounds of marijuana or more than 2 pounds of concentrates – at four of the shops and received a $5,000 fine.Lincoln Convenience Corp.: 2074 Broadway, New York, NY 10023West Coast Convenience Corp.: 176 West 72nd Street, New York, NY 10023Jeeters Convenience Corp.: 750 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10036Varieties on Broadway Corp.: 736 Broadway, New York, NY 10003Ignite Convenience Corp.: 214 West 72nd Street, New York, NY 10023Myrtle Avenue Shop Inc.
