NYC Mayor Eric Adams manned the controls as the NYPD disposed of four tons of illegal weed.The four tons, which equals around 576 bags of cannabis products, were loaded into the trash incinerator on Long Island. Adams operated what looked like a giant claw machine to scoop up giant piles of trash – including the illegal marijuana – and then moved it over to the incinerator shoot.
The NYPD Cannabis Task Force says they burn the weed instead of just dumping it into a landfill to cut down on the risk of it being taken home, emphasizing that some of the illegal product contains harmful substances."You just really open the door of people going to the landfills and trying to salvage whatever they can," Adams said.Since the spring, the NYPD says they have inspected around 4,000 smoke shops, but have only permanently closed more than 1,000.
