Elmira legal cannabis shop reacts to recent raids

ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM)— Legal cannabis shops have to go through a long approval process before they can open. Licensed stores have to meet certain health and safety standards and provide guarantees to customers that they are getting exactly what they paid for. The 420 Novelties locations in Elmira were raided on Wednesday, May 28, by the police. 420 Novelties locations raided on Wednesday morning 'We've been working on this for quite a while and passed a resolution of local law recently. We've been working with the state to finally give us the authority to do this, so it has been a work in progress,' said Dan Mandell, City of Elmira Mayor. Dabber Hashery is a legal cannabis dispensary in Elmira located at 1051 College Ave. It has been open since January 2025. In regard to the recent raids, the owner only had a few comments. Protestors rally against Medicaid funding cuts in Corning 'I don't have a strong opinion on it, honestly. We're working hard to just do a really good job here, and that is a big chore. We've got a lot to focus on with compliance and regulations, staying clean, and making sure we put a really good product out,' said Zeke Pierce, Dabber Hashery Owner. When asked if he thinks that all sticker shops should be shut down, he tells 18 News that there is not a lot of comment about it. 'I'm not so concerned with them, I do think that there is a competitive process by which you can go about trying to get a license to operate in this scene, and I don't know, I'm at a loss for words,' said Pierce.
