It’s been not quite a year since recreational marijuana use became legal in California. But the new industry has faced challenges. Jim Coffis of the organization Green Trade in Santa Cruz said one problem has been high marijuana taxes and tough legal requirements that place legal cannabis sellers at a disadvantage to those who don’t pay or follow the rules…
