Rochester Cannabis Shop Raided: Owner Challenges Office of Cannabis Management

A cannabis shop in Rochester, New York, called Triclomes, LLC, was raided by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) for allegedly selling THC products without the proper license. The owner, John Brown, claims that the state overstepped its authority during the raid and plans to fight it in court. Surveillance video shows OCM members confiscating products without testing or counting them. Brown estimates that between $1 million and $2 million worth of assets were seized. The state argues that Triclomes and other shops raided in recent months do not have permission to sell THC products to recreational-use customers.
