The New York Attorney General says Southampton's zoning and permit rules unlawfully block a state-licensed dispensary, Brown Budda.
The AG states Southampton cannot impose extra constraints like costly permits and sidewalk costs on a licensed retailer.
The letter notes the Cannabis Control Board already voided many of Southampton’s rules as overly stringent and illegal.
Brown Budda opened without town approval in November and was later ordered to address a sidewalk cost allegedly tied to the storefront.
Albany approved Brown Budda’s site years ago, indicating the premise met state requirements before local delays.
The AG’s office argues the town’s sidewalk demand and zoning blocks contradict state licensing and enforcement.
Southampton argues the sidewalk requirement was a local obligation connected to opening the shop.
The case centers on whether local rules can obstruct a state-licensed cannabis operation.
The dispute involves ongoing licensing, zoning, and regulatory authority over cannabis retail in Southampton.
