Two former Sweet Leaf executives are now doing time in Denver County Jail, the result of their roles in the dispensary chain's looping scandal that resulted in all 11 of the company's Colorado dispensaries being closed by law enforcement officials and the state Marijuana Enforcement Division.
Former Sweet Leaf vice president Nichole West and retail operations manager Ashley Goldstein both pleaded guilty to felony drug charges and will each serve 30 days in jail, according to the Denver District Attorney's Office. The women were both charged by the DA on Tuesday, Nov. 27, with one count of distribution of four to 12 ounces of marijuana or marijuana concentrate, a class 4 drug felony; Goldstein also pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor marijuana distribution charge.
