For legal cannabis growers, there's little room for error

ARLINGTON — Four strikes and you’re out — that’s how Washington state law treats a cannabis business that’s been hit with four minor violations in three years.

The Clone Zone, an Arlington marijuana grower that employs 30 workers, faces a state-mandated shutdown after receiving four, non-criminal violations between 2015 and 2017.

Based on those infractions, a judge determined Friday that the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board can go forward with its plan to revoke the company’s license.

The Clone Zone has 10 days to put things in order.

The family-owned business acknowledges “clerical errors,” and is appealing two of the four violations.

The Liquor and Cannabis Board says those are the rules. It’s up to the Legislature to change them.

The board provided copies of the violations but didn’t comment on them.
