FREE IDEA #3

Since cannabis legalization in 2022, NYC has become home to hundreds of unlicensed (illegal) weed shops. It is well known that many of these shops sell weed to children — and many shops are located near schools. Worse: the cannabis itself can be tainted with poisons.

Our practical and permanent solution to this proliferation of perfidy:

Have the city work with Con Edison to cut off the electricity to each of these storefronts. Businesses can’t run without power; and illegal businesses shouldn’t run at all.
