SKTO ~ CA NORML says plan "blatantly illegal"........

I couldn't find any info on Berkely-Bio, which SKTO says they are acquiring. So I went to the biggest MMJ advocate in CA....again.

Does CA NORML know anything about Berkeley Bio-Organic Research Laboratories. Is it reputable, in your opinion? I can't find any info about it except this which calls it a major MMJ research firm.

CA NORML's response. I had previously corresponded with Ellen, so I assume that's why she was copied.

Cal NORML is not familiar with Berkeley Bio-Organic Research Labs; however, we have heard of SK3 Group, and do not think they have a credible research plan. The cultivation facilities they are proposing are blatantly illegal under federal law, which will make it impossible for them to win FDA approval. While they have claimed that what they are doing is legal because they are producing CBD, not THC, the fact is that CBD is 100% illegal under federal law. It's hard to tell whether SK3 is run by fools or by hucksters; in either case, it would be foolish to put any faith in them.
