Cannabis advocates are sharing their concerns about confusion regarding Virginia’s marijuana laws, following a raid by Richmond police of agricultural supplier Happy Trees’ warehouse.

On Thursday, Feb. 9, authorities executed a search warrant for marijuana and psilocybin at the Roane Street warehouse. Individuals who said they were attending an event there described being detained and questioned, without regard for those who had medical marijuana cards.

Although arrests were not initially made, Happy Trees co-founder Josiah Ickes was taken into custody the following Wednesday, Feb. 15, and charged with conspiracy for the possession with intent to manufacture a schedule I or II substance, as well as conspiracy for the distribution or possession with intent of marijuana in a quantity larger than five pounds.
