NYC's Operation Padlock to Protect has successfully shut down another illegal cannabis grow house in the Bronx, located at 923 Kelly St., seizing 93 plants and 24 pounds of loose cannabis. Mayor Eric Adams highlighted the dangers of illegal operations in residential areas, emphasizing the risks they pose to families and communities. The operation's discovery stemmed from an eviction notice, revealing an extensive growing setup with air filtration and propane tanks, which increased potential hazards. State Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar condemned illegal pot shops as crime magnets and noted their appeal to children. Meanwhile, in Queens, Council Member Robert Holden reported the closure of four illegal smoke shops as part of the same initiative, which has effectively shut down over 1,000 illegal cannabis operations across the city. In Ohio, a local medical marijuana dispensary faces potential closure due to a ban on recreational sales, prompting management to plead with the city council for a reversal of the moratorium before an upcoming vote.
