The Office of Cannabis Management in the state has closed down an unlicensed cannabis store located in Brooklyn. The Big Chief Smoke Shop in Bay Ridge was reportedly selling unregulated cannabis products and had repeatedly ignored orders to cease operations without a license. Law enforcement authorities visited the store on two occasions, confiscating over 600 pounds of cannabis and related products. This action is part of the state’s efforts to regulate and enforce compliance within the cannabis industry, and it marks the closure of the ninth unlicensed cannabis store in the state this year.
