Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday launched a new initiative to shut down unlicensed
cannabis sellers in the Big Apple after being given more authority to do so in
last month’s state budget.



The effort, dubbed “Operation Padlock to Protect,” will involve a cohort of
local law enforcement and city agencies inspecting and padlocking stores found
to be selling cannabis without a license. It officialy kicked off May 7, with
authorities fanning out across the five boroughs to inspect, fine and padlock 20
illicit sellers, according to City Hall.
