Unlicensed marijuana shops are sprouting up like weeds on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
City Councilmember Gale Brewer, who represents the uptown neighborhood, recently dispatched staffers to 61 delis, smoke-shops and convenience stores across her district that she suspected of illegally dealing weed — and the canvassing effort proved fruitful.
The team of Brewer aides discovered that 26 of the surveyed businesses sling pot in various forms without licenses, the Democratic lawmaker told the Daily News.
“You’re like, ‘Oh my goodness, it’s as if every single block has a shop,’” Brewer said. “It’s wild.”
