Forty people were arrested by Atlanta police after officers swooped on a marijuana “pop-up event” in Georgia. Authorities from “Operation No Smoke” descended on a warehouse in the southwest of the city on Saturday (April 18) after receiving an anonymous tip about “large-scale marijuana pop-up events” in February. They arrived at the scene before the event, which had 1,400 registered attendees, was due to start, meaning most of those arrested were vendors. Investigators say they seized 1,220lbs of raw marijuana, 391lbs of THC edibles, 29lbs of psilocybin mushrooms, 15 firearms, nine vehicles, and in excess of $32,000 in cash. Despite changes to laws in many states, marijuana remains illegal in Georgia.
