WEST HEMPSTEAD, Long Island (WABC) -- A cannabis crackdown on Long Island is targeting store owners accused of illegally selling THC gummies to children, and the question is: how are these businesses still open? Eyewitness News cameras were rolling Thursday afternoon as a smoke shop clerk was busted in West Hempstead. Narcotics officers had just made an undercover buy after reports of the shop selling THC and cannabis gummies to minors. When asked if he was selling to children, the owner had no comment, but he's now facing a felony count.
