Who is supplying NYC's illegal weed shops?

Unlicensed weed shops are popping up all over New York City. But if these stores aren't licensed to do business, it begs the question, where are they getting their supply from? FOX 5 NY's Arthur Chi'en tagged along with the YNC Sheriff's Office on a bust to get some answers.

The price of weed in legal dispensaries in NY and NJ is way too high. There will always be a black market for weed.

[@Ghostintheshell3551]

This is because the city wants their cut in the money ... So disgusting

[@stricnine69]

200$ a pound? This is the biggest load of shit i ever heard

[@ItsAllGood5225]

They were selling illegally we get it, don't have to demonise weed as if a child couldn't find your box of vicodin and go night night forever

[@lightstar1053]

They could catch the weed dealers but not the fentanyl dealers🤡

[@angelowkz4208]

Lol dude said one of those cones could cripple a child 🤣😂🤣😂

[@bryantdonald8997]

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

[@IzzyRamos]

When he when he said that that one little piece of cone will cripple a kid I started dying laughing

[@WHITELIONNYC]

🛑🚨They arrest people working but not people stealing. 🤔🤦🏻‍♂️🚨🛑

[@CA2TX2022]

The Sherriff Department must not be implementing a weight restriction for officers. I never seen such obese police officers. How not to get arrested, RUN!

[@MXstar189]

any time the government says "it's for your health and safety" you know your getting screwed.

[@williamdaniels4013]

IT'S ONLY ILLEGAL IF UNCLE SAM CAN'T BE IN YOUR POCKETS

[@DVS57REBEL]

This problem is caused by nys , legal for 3 years yet only 11 legal shops, 210k for a license , u apply and have your money tied up.

[@ItsMeSadeNYC]

Main idea of the video: NY government made marijuana use "legal" but are still treating it as "illegal".

[@NYC-High]

Good Alot of them shops weed be trash it be low grade & sprayed up in fancy bags 🤣🤣🤣

[@Indicablazin145]

All I'm gonna say is I'm not paying 90 dollars for a cart or 48-60 dollars for an 8th when there's a local smoke shop that'll give me an 8th of quality bud for like 25-30 which is much better for my pockets

[@edzzz5043]

This is just about protecting billionaire investments rather than helping out the people of the boroughs... the police departments don't do anything to stop crime/theft in the city, but jump in when some rich company complaints about their assets being compromised.

[@Jaycartel823]

With all that’s going on in Gotham city right now y’all should be ashamed wasting tax dollars and bodies on this bs

[@OuchMashups]

I stopped buying weed from those places after getting panic attacks which never happened to me when i was buying from the local weed guy

[@UpTownSmoke]

The landlords aren’t breaking the law and commercial property is vacant all over the city. Y’all better get out of the way.
