New York regulators have temporarily suspended the sale of several cannabis products, including items from brands like Stiiizy and mfused, due to allegations of “inversion”—the practice of introducing out-of-state cannabis into the state’s regulated market. The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) quarantined approximately $10 million worth of products, such as vaporizers and pre-rolls, on April 23, 2025. The investigation centers on Omnium Canna, a Long Island-based processor, suspected of sourcing cannabis oil from illicit channels. While some brands, including Omnium, deny wrongdoing, the OCM has not confirmed their compliance. The lack of a fully implemented track-and-trace system in New York complicates efforts to verify product origins. The OCM’s Trade Practices Bureau is actively investigating these allegations, emphasizing that any confirmed inversion could lead to significant penalties. The outcome of the investigation will determine whether the quarantined products are released for sale or subject to recall
