Summary
The New York State Office of Cannabis Management said on March 16, 2026 that it issued an Order to Seal to The Town Smoke Shop in Watertown and padlocked the premises. The action was one of six in a single city-wide sweep of Watertown storefronts that the office described as illicit.
After inspections, OCM investigators said they seized cannabis flower, edibles and concentrates across the six locations, with an estimated retail value of $288,000 for the whole sweep. Three businesses received Orders to Seal and three received Notices of Violation.
The release states that sealing was based on the large quantity of illicit products observed during inspections. It does not say whether the operators contested the orders.
