A reporter who became a viral sensation after she quit her job live on air in protest of Alaska's marijuana laws is facing decades in jail for running a cannabis club before the state legalized the drug.
Charlo Greene, whose legal name is Charlene Egbe, was wrapping up a segment during a live broadcast for KTVA in September 2014 on marijuana when she announced that she was the owner and operator of the Alaska Cannabis Club, signing off by saying, "as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, f--- it, I quit."
OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE (3:45)
Before the drug became legal for adults in February 2015, Greene's club would match medical marijuana cardholders with others. The Anchorage Police Department raided the club twice last year and the 28-year-old is now facing 14 drug charges relating to the club's activities before the law changed, according to The Guardian.
The charges carry a maximum combined penalty of 54 years.
"I just found out I'm facing an additional 6 felonies – 30 more years. That 54 years in prison for a plant (sic)," Greene wrote on Facebook.
Since being arrested, Greene says she feels abandoned by the cannabis community and referred to her case as a "modern day lynching."
"I dedicated my life to fighting for the cannabis plant and the people behind it. Now that I could lose the rest of my life because of cannabis, it feels like the people I fought for have abandoned me. I've never felt more alone," she told High Times.
Greene has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Career change really did something for her hair.

I assume if she pays the taxes she would get off.

If I were a taxpayer in Alaska Id be pissed. Imprisoning someone for that long for that particular crime would be a major waste of money. Hell the case in general is

There's a lot of joint-rolling happening in Fairbanks right now.

Two marijuana stores, Frozen Budz and Pakalolo Supply Co., opened this week in the Interior Alaska community and have been sprinting to keep up with demand, both stores' owners said Thursday afternoon.

Frozen Budz was the first to open, at 4:20 p.m. on Halloween. The shop was selling marijuana from Fairbanks grower Subsistence Products, which started at $20 per gram, co-owner Destiny Neade said.

Meanwhile, in the smaller community of Valdez, the first shop in the state to open its doors has yet to run out of product. At Herbal Outfitters, five strains are still on the shelves, half of the original 10 it started with on Saturday, according to general manager Derek Morris.

"We've stayed busy!" Morris wrote in a text message Thursday.

There is so much about knocking your brains out with weed or drugs, as if everybody did it. Well, I am one who never did any of these and don't intend to, ever. I am 79, healthy and get my kicks from tennis, skiing and skating. I also read a lot

I always loved fishing and I will admit that gardening was fun in my younger days. I too have read lots of books all non fiction and I love the city library.
