A joint enforcement action between the Stamford Police Department and the Office of the Connecticut Attorney General has resulted in the confiscation of thousands of illegal delta-8 THC, delta-8 THCO, delta-9 THCO and other high THC cannabis products found for sale at three Stamford vape shops.
Attorney General William Tong said he was preparing to take legal action against Zaza Smoke Shop 2, Breeze Smokeshop, and Worlds Exotic Smoke Shop for alleged violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. The confiscated look-alike products are illegal in Connecticut, including at licensed cannabis retailers.
Due to the ongoing criminal investigation, further details on the case are being withheld.
“My message to retailers is clear: if you continue to sell unregulated, untested, illegal cannabis, I will hold you accountable,” said Tong in a press statement. “Fake Oreos, Cheetos, and Sour Patch Kids packed with THC put kids in danger and are not legal anywhere in Connecticut. In partnership with the Stamford Police Department, thousands of these illegal cannabis products have been confiscated and their sellers now face legal consequences.”
Tong added that his office “sent letters to every licensed vape shop and publicized the law in every way that I can. There is zero excuse for the continued sale of these illegal, unregulated, and untested products.”
