The owners of two marijuana delivery services and Alaska Cannabis Club owner Charlo Greene were each charged Friday with drug crimes for the delivery and possession of marijuana.
Undercover officers made multiple marijuana purchases from each business, charging documents show. The charges against each are misconduct involving a controlled substance in the fourth-degree, a felony, and in the fifth-degree, a misdemeanor.
“We wanted there to be a clear message that for the marijuana industry, you need to follow the regulations and do so in a legal fashion,” said Alaska Department of Law Criminal Division Director John Skidmore.
