The Clay County Sheriff's Office has closed a local business that allegedly sells items laced with the active ingredient in marijuana.
Action News Jax first told you about the CBD Dispensary last week; it was selling everything from lotions to brownies mixed with THC. On Tuesday, the store was raided by a joint task force led by CCSO.
Deputies said the dispensary at 418 Kingsley Ave. didn’t have a license and was selling to people without a prescription.
"I think they don't have all their facts straight and they just jumped the gun," Redmond said.
Owner Logan Redmond told Action News Jax by phone that it's a misunderstanding. Redmond claims under the Charlotte’s Web law, the store can sell the products because they only have a small amount of THC, the chemical in marijuana that gets you high.
However, under Charlotte’s Web, patients who receive low-THC products must visit two doctors. In addition, the sheriff’s office said the business didn’t have a CBD license and wasn't following any of the requirements of a dispensary.
