CALIFORNIA — California has seized over $70.7 million worth of illegal cannabis since July, Gov. California Newsom said in a news release today.
California’s Unified Cannabis Enforcement Task Force (UCETF) has seized over $191 million worth of illegal cannabis across 13 counties since January, the release said.
“Our communities are safer with over 42,000 pounds of illicit cannabis taken off the streets since the beginning of the year,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a news release. “Through the UCETF, California continues the charge in cracking down on the illicit cannabis market for the safety of consumers and the support of the legal cannabis industry.”
Bill Jones, the chief of the California Department of Cannabis Control’s law enforcement division, said they are targeting illegal operations that try to pass off as legal.
“This quarter, we targeted unlicensed cannabis operators misusing the California cannabis universal symbol on their packaging,” Jones said in the news release. “This deceptive practice confuses consumers and puts them at risk. We are stepping up enforcement across the supply chain and shutting these operations down.”
