DENVER (AP) — Denver authorities shut down 26 legal marijuana businesses Thursday and arrested 12 people suspected of illegal distribution of pot after a yearlong criminal investigation.
Potential charges relate to marijuana sales exceeding limits set in state law, police said. Colorado allows people 21 and older to possess an ounce or less of marijuana under a measure approved by voters in 2012.
The city department that regulates marijuana businesses issued the order to close the businesses based on the police investigation, spokesman Dan Rowland said. It marked the first time the city has issued an open-ended suspension to any legal marijuana business since sales began in 2014, he said.

Just because it's been criminalized for a hundred years doesn't make it any more just, to go drug nazi on US citizens!

The short term memory loss made them think selling pot was illegal.

Same as you can not sell "growlers" in certain places. You will lose your license and go to jail.
People wanted it "legal and regulated" like alcohol. That is what they got.

When you choose to get into a heavily regulated business you can make a great deal of money but you have to be careful not to take short cuts.
You will be closely watched, they pay people to check up on you.

The task force coordinator released this statement-—
“It was carried out at 4:20 and was a joint effort to nip the problem in the bud, to weed out or blunt the chronic overproduction and gauge the nature of the problem.”

Professionalism in business may cost more in the short term
but it usually pays off in greater long term success.
