Care By Design, a legitimate California CBD/cannabis company, was raided by authorities despite operating legally. The company had a tissue culture facility, analytical lab, and CO2 extraction lab (legal under California law). A disgruntled employee reportedly told police they were extracting with butane (illegal under CA law). The group had recently hosted dignitaries while applying for official licensing.
// From the Episode
Todd McCormick and Bubbleman visited the facility with Rob Clarke after the Emerald Cup and saw their entire operation. Care By Design was known for doing things right -- CO2 extraction, tissue culture, analytical testing. The raid highlights the vulnerability of cannabis businesses even when operating within the law. The owner was released, showing changing times.
