Officers with the New York State Office of Cannabis Management shut down another illegal dispensary in Rockland County Thursday and have a target list of several more locations to inspect.

The latest bust happened just after 12 p.m. at Comfort And Releaf on Route 59 in Central Nyack.

Officials on scene said the shop is different than most other illicit cannabis operations they have investigated.

At first glance, the unlicensed cannabis shop looks like a state-authorized dispensary.

OCM officers said illegal shops usually do not look as modern as licensed shops, and are not blatantly selling cannabis products in glass displays beneath a giant digital menu.

"It's not often that we find them set up in that manner," said Daniel Haughney, head of enforcement at OCM.

Haughney said recent law and policy changes have allowed his officers to take more action when they discover large-scale, unlicensed weed operations during inspections.

Since there was so much cannabis at Comfort and Releaf, a large variety, and products that were likely untested, Haughney's team was able to seize the products and pad-lock the business for up to one year.

Haughney also met with Nyack Mayor Joe Rand Thursday outside a separate, less modern shop on Main Street, Traveler's Smoke Shop, which was padlocked last week for similar reasons.

Haughney said, in other cases, like say, a convenience store with a few cannabis jars in the back of the shop, his team can post a notice of violation but cannot pad-lock it because the business model is not clearly based on illicit cannabis.

"We're not looking to recriminalize cannabis," Haughney said. "However, if there are bad actors who want to continue to push and operate illegally ... then we do have a number of other tools in our toolbelt that we can bring to bear."

Both busts came out of investigations that were started in response to complaints from the community.

"The unlicensed operations, the shops that are selling cannabis illegally really give the whole operation a bad name," Mayor Rand said.

News 12 reached out to both shops seeking comment, and is awaiting responses.

Both owners will be charged with misdemeanor offenses, and they will likely never be allowed a chance to enter the legal cannabis market with a real license.

A spokesperson advises customers seeking tested, safe cannabis to check shops' front windows for an authentic OCM sticker.
