4 Danbury Vape Shops Face Enforcement Action Over Illegal THC Sales And Violations

DANBURY, CT — Four vape shops in Danbury were cited after a joint enforcement operation uncovered illegal sales of THC products, underage tobacco sales, and labor violations, officials said.

The inspections on Aug. 26 involved the Danbury Police Department along with the state Department of Consumer Protection, Department of Revenue Services, Department of Labor and Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

Authorities said the checks were prompted by citizen complaints, including from parents, about shops selling THC products and vapes to minors. Past compliance operations have led to seizures of marijuana and other illegal products worth thousands of dollars, police said.

Cloud House I at 60 Newtown Road failed a compliance check after selling tobacco products to a minor and was found with more than nine pounds of illicit THC products, including flower, oil, concentrates and edibles.

Cloud House II at 101 Mill Plain Road passed its compliance check but was shut down and issued a stop-work order for labor violations.

CT Smoke House at 10 Mill Plain Road failed its inspection, with more than 20 pounds of THC products discovered, and was cited for openly advertising cannabis for sale.

Star Rose Smoke Shop at 2-4 Mill Ridge Road also failed, with more than 12 pounds of THC products seized. The shop was closed and issued a stop-work order for labor violations.

Mayor Roberto Alves praised the enforcement effort, saying the town remains committed to protecting residents from illegal activity. “It is disappointing to see repeat offenders continue to violate the law and put our community, especially our children, at risk,” Alves said.

The Danbury Police Department Detective Bureau is continuing its investigation.
