THE BIG IDEA
WHAT YOU MISSED IN WEEDWEEK CALIFORNIA PRO
The labels of four Stiiizy -branded vape products purchased in New York City suggest that there is an illegal pipeline of products originating at the company’s licensed Los Angeles factory and reaching out of state markets.
There are essentially two ways cannabis products legally manufactured in California can reach other states, both illegal. They can 1) Be diverted from a company’s supply chain; or 2) Sent out of state after a consumer legally purchases them.
Stiiizy’s parent company, Shryne Group, declined to comment on the vapes purchased in New York.
