Ny - Top N.Y. Cannabis Official Resigns as Major Investigation Is Dropped

So the big enforcement case against Omnium Health — the one that caused a statewide product recall for brands like Stiiizy, Grön, and mfused — was just withdrawn by OCM. The head of the entire agency resigned over it. Another prosecutor who led the investigation into Omnium, was also fired.

🔹 Those products weren’t recalled for contamination 🔹 They were recalled over licensing bureaucracy 🔹 OCM ordered a recall BEFORE proving any wrongdoing 🔹 And now… the case collapsed?

This creates a scary precedent: OCM can just pull products off shelves, tank brands, confuse retailers, and freak out consumers…even if the recall isn’t tied to safety issues..?

The case was withdrawn “without prejudice,” meaning it could come back, or more brands could be targeted next if their paperwork isn’t perfect.

Consumers deserve stability, not panic-based regulatory whiplash. If OCM wants trust in the legal market — it has to stop creating chaos for no reason.

What do you all think about this?
