Authorities may have to drop charges that were made during an investigation named “Operation Candy Crush” which closed down several stores in Middle Tennessee for allegedly selling marijuana-based gummy candies. Rutherford County Investigators padlocked 23 stores two weeks ago, and according to WTVF, 21 people were indicted for selling the candy. During the investigation, samples were purchased undercover and sent to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation for testing. Scientists told prosecutors the gummies tested for a schedule six substance. It was discovered that certain testing cannot determine whether the gummies were made from industrial hemp CBD oil – which is legal – or from marijuana CBD oil – which can be illegal. As a result, prosecutors are having a difficult time making a case, and charges are expected to be dropped. If charges are dropped, the cash and gummies previously confiscated will be returned to shop owners. It’s being reported that several merchants are considering lawsuits.
