Asmall Peachham cannabis grower has had to pay a big price for a promotional video he posted to social media.

Devon Deyhle, owner of Tall Truck, a Tier 1 indoor growing operation of less than 1,000 square feet of cannabis plants, posted a video of himself on Instagram to promote his cannabis.

“It was a great, great video, but it wasn’t worth it,” he said. “That’s for sure.”

In the video, which he recorded in early December and which he has since taken down, Deyhle gets out of a vehicle and enters a storefront in Manhattan that was not licensed to sell adult recreational retail cannabis.

“It was basically a spot where you could go and buy your cannabis and then it had a smoking lounge out back,” Deyhle said.

1. No NYC penalties?

2. win some lose some

the subject seems to have a fairly philosophical take on the incident (along with a, perhaps somewhat casual, outlook as far as the laws?)

Deyhle is philosophical about the experience.
“You make your bed, you sleep in it,” he said. “You pay for your mistakes.”

3. I wish our nation would get over the "Mary Jane" phobia. It seems once we

get a notion in our head (reefer madness) we just cannot get over it. I think it might be generational. The same people that freaked out in the 60's and 70's seem to be still freaked out and those of us that actually indulged (and inhaled) know it is a farce. YMMV
