NY's legal weed sales are smokin' hot, surpass half a billion dollars thanks to rogue-shop crackdown
Briefly

Sales of legal cannabis in New York have exceeded $500 million since shops first opened; increased sales are attributed to Operation Padlock, targeting illegal vendors.
Kagia noted that new customers have flocked to legal retail shops since the crackdown on illicit vendors began, highlighting the effectiveness of the enforcement efforts.
Despite the success of padlocking illegal shops, concerns arise from a judge's ruling that might challenge the legality of the method, potentially affecting future enforcement.
Governor Hochul anticipates that the legal cannabis market will generate $1.25 billion in tax revenue in six years, demonstrating the state's commitment to the industry.
