As part of ongoing enforcement actions in early January 2026, Lucky Seven Convenience and Tobacco was shuttered by the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA) and the Metropolitan Police Department for operating as an unlicensed retailer and engaging in illegal cannabis sales.
The operation was part of the city's ongoing enforcement efforts following the enactment of the Medical Cannabis Conditional License and Unlicensed Establishment Closure Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2024, which granted ABCA new civil enforcement powers. Since the bill took effect on July 15, 2024, joint agency efforts have resulted in the padlocking of 101 illegal cannabis businesses.
