As a sunny August morning gives way to a warm afternoon, Dan Haughney scans the streets of Syracuse.
“We go out looking to padlock illegal, unlicensed businesses,” Haughney said.
Haughney runs the state’s Office of Cannabis Management or OCM. In May, Governor Kathy Hochul gave his team new powers, to shut down illegal pot shops on the spot.
NewsChannel 9 witnessed that firsthand during a ride along with OCM.
“There are certain factors that allow us to padlock immediately,” Haughney said at Exotic Vapes in the Western Lights Plaza in the town of Geddes. “In this location, they were selling cannabis flower in packaging with a cartoon space man on the front. It had bright colors, things that would appeal to children. When you go to a legal dispensary, you’re never gonna see cartoon characters on the front of packaging.”
During the ride along, OCM shut down three shops selling illicit cannabis: Exotic Vapes in the town of Geddes, Paper and Leaf Hemp Co. in the town of Salina and New Yorker’s Smoke Shop in the town of Clay.
