  1. Wyoming, South Carolina, Idaho, Kansas are fully illegal, and Texas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Wisconsin only cbd is legal. Anyone who is still in the game here in mendo is shipping it across the country like so.

  2. And how do the large dispensaries get stocked? Do delivery drivers risk imprisonment? This is ridiculous. Looks like thievery to me. The boy’s inventory should be restored to him or else he should be compensated for its value at fair market cost. Plus he should be commended for his all-American capitalism.
