According to police and published reports, law enforcement officials confiscated "100 pounds of pot products" over the weekend from an illegal dispensary on 10th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.

The shop, not named in the media accounts, was said to be a newish space at 279 E, 10th St. Per 1010 WINS
An inspection at 279 East 10th St. was prompted by 311 complaints from the community, and upon searching the location, law enforcement officials discovered 43 pounds of THC flowers and pre-rolls, 30 pounds of THC vapes and 27 pounds of THC edibles.
The seizure was part of the city's "Padlock to Protect" program.

So when will they shut down the outdoor kava market right next door?

I remember buying pot from a storefront shop with a red door on E. Tenth between First and Second, back in the 1980's. That's when illegal smoke shops were REALLY illegal!
