On May 21, Hochul launched the Cannabis Enforcement Task Force, a statewide effort to coordinate staff from several agencies to combat the illicit cannabis market.The task force has worked with landlords to evict illegal dispensaries and works to penalize landlords who fail to take steps to evict tenants after they are informed they are operating illegally, according to Hochul.
These efforts have brought the statewide total seized since May 2023 to over 25,000 pounds of illicit product valued at over $110 million.
