ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A Rochester smoke shop is facing scrutiny from the New York State Office of Cannabis Management. A sign in the window of the Regime Smoke Shop on Winton Road read “Illicit Cannabis Seized,” but the store remained open.

News10NBC’s Tom Kowalski reported live from the scene around 7:30 p.m., noting that despite the notice, the shop continued to operate. According to paperwork, the issue began in early December when a cannabis officer claimed the store was providing, cultivating, or processing marijuana without a license. Officers reportedly found cannabis concentrate and edibles.

A clerk inside the store was unsure about what was specifically confiscated. Kowalski left his contact information for a manager but had not received a response.

A neighbor expressed little concern about the situation, saying, “I just thought it was weird because I was like, oh my gosh, did somebody stop their shop? But it just it doesn’t say it’s closed. I don’t think it’s going to be detrimental,” she said.

News10NBC reached out to the Office of Cannabis Management for comment and left contact information for the store owner.
