New York State’s newly licensed cannabis stores are gearing up to open their doors as soon as possible, as state and city officials move to clamp down on sellers of unlicensed weed.

More than half of the profits from the Harbour Community adult-use retail dispensary will be donated to the Doe Store, which helps ex-prisoners find jobs and housing. Officials do not want to crowd jails with people operating unlicensed cannabis stores, but they are stepping up fines and other activities to reduce competition with legally sanctioned businesses.

“Unlicensed cannabis stores are threatening a budding economic opportunity for our city,” Adams said on Twitter Thursday.“They’re also trying to make a distinction between legacy operators and people who are being opportunistic who have opened up stores in the past 18 months,” Yau said. Along with the Doe Store, those nonprofits include Housing Works, which has been operating a thrift store to help people who have AIDS or who are experiencing homelessness, and Strive, a job-training and career-services provider.
