New York Attorney General Letitia James has imposed a $9.5 million judgment on George West, owner of the unlicensed cannabis shop Jaydega 7.0 in Canandaigua. This penalty includes $1 million in illegal profits and $8.4 million for ignoring a cease-and-desist order from the Office of Cannabis Management. The store, which operated without a license since September 2022, was shut down in November 2023 after an investigation revealed over $2.4 million in illegal sales.
