California company has pot license, workers still arrested

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The confusing rollout of marijuana regulations in California has been underscored in Mendocino County, where local authorities licensed a company to deliver pot only to have state police arrest two employees who were trying to do just that with nearly a ton of weed.

The workers showed the officer the company’s county license and a manifest for the marijuana, but the officer insisted it was illegal, called for backup and arrested the men.

“It is incomprehensible that this has occurred,” said Rogoway, who sent a letter to CHP demanding that the charges be dropped and the marijuana returned to Old Kai.

I would imagine that the individual or individuals who made the decision to start business a few days early would be held accountable. Including ALL employees involved.

I don’t see how customers can be charged with anything if they never took possession of any product. I guess they could possibly get hit with a conspiracy charge but those are very difficult to prove.
