Petitioner says spot checks show retailers often skip patient verification
Summary
The petition submitted by John Kingsbury included spot-check findings that some retailers did not check DOH recognition cards and sometimes applied incorrect tax treatment; staff passed the petitioner’s information to enforcement for follow-up.
The petition to the Liquor and Cannabis Board was supported by spot checks the petitioner, John Kingsbury, conducted at retail stores; staff described the checks during the meeting and said Kingsbury followed up with Enforcement & Education after his most recent visits.
Kevin Walder relayed Kingsbury’s findings to the board, saying in his recount that in the petitioner’s spot checks "I believe it was, 4 out of 6 stores in both cases that, failed to check his ID." Walder also said Kingsbury reported instances where the wrong amount of tax was exempted or where no tax was exempted and instead a sale price was offered. Walder thanked Kingsbury for raising awareness and said staff had begun a conversation internally about next steps; board members asked enforcement to pursue the matter further.
