Numerous complaints alleging marijuana being sold without a license and vape products being sold to minors resulted in an arrest Wednesday in Liberty Square, Norwalk Police said.
NPD Special Service Officers, assisted by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection Drug Control Division, executed a search warrant at Vapesmart vape shop, police said. According to the report, investigators seized:
- 187.25 grams of marijuana packaged in pouches and film canisters for resale
- Several hundred products containing greater levels than the legal limit of THC

“The investigation into illegal sales of marijuana and hallucinogens is ongoing,” the news release said. “In addition to being illegal and addictive, marijuana with high levels of THC is associated with a decrease in IQ points, increased anxiety and psychosis, developing schizophrenia, and other long-term issues, particularly in teens and young adults (National Institute on Drug Abuse).
