AKWESASNE– King Canna's retail cannabis license has been suspended, according to Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe’s Cannabis Compliance Office.
The grounds for this suspension stem from King Canna's failure to remit retail fees in accordance with the SRMT Cannabis Ordinance, Tribe officials said.
They issued a notice of the suspension for the marijuana dispensary, located at 18 Raquette Point Road, and said the notice was served to the owner on Jan. 12.
The notice signifies the immediate suspension of the SRMT Cannabis license, officials said.
Officials said that over the past six months, the Tribal Cannabis Compliance manager has made consistent efforts to bring the business into compliance. Despite a final warning letter issued on Nov. 17, the non-remittance of fees persisted, leading to the subsequent suspension.
"Member-owned licensed properties that comply with tribal regulations play a crucial role in supporting programs that assist Tribal community members,” said Anthony Tillman, Cannabis Compliance manager. “We work closely with our licensees to help educate on the importance of compliance for the health and safety of our community, ensure timely remittance of fees to support the program, and to build a compliance program that is a model for other Nations. We will continue to work with the licensee to take steps to return to fully-licensed status."
