“On September 19, 2025, the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA) and the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) shut down two businesses for illegal cannabis sales.
The Closure Orders were executed at 70 Smoke Shop and Tobacco King, both unlicensed retailers, due to activities that posed an imminent danger to public health and safety.
The operation was part of the city’s ongoing enforcement efforts following the enactment of the Medical Cannabis Conditional License and Unlicensed Establishment Closure Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2024, which granted ABCA new civil enforcement powers.
