The Calm N Collective’s advertisement from September 25, 2018 shows a naked man lying in a cultivation facility with marijuana covering his private areas. The Alaskan Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office brought an enforcement action against the Calm N Collective licensee Ron Bass for health and safety violations. Alaska’s regulator noted that the presence of an unclothed person in the growing facility could contaminate the marijuana. A board member pointed out that the naked man also did not appear to be wearing a visitor badge as required by law. The lawyer for Calm N Collective indicated that the picture in question did not violate the health and safety standards because the marijuana that was used to cover the man’s body was not going to be reused or sold. The marijuana was ultimately going to be ground up with garbage and other waste. Finally, the firm’s lawyer noted in the response that the health and safety standards were not violated as the gentleman in the photo “looks clean, does not have any open sores, and does not at all look ill.” ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2018%2F10%2F16%2F2018-10-16-alaska-naked-man-in-growers-advertisement-violates-health-and-safety-standards](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2018%2F10%2F16%2F2018-10-16-alaska-naked-man-in-growers-advertisement-violates-health-and-safety-standards) ## Keep reading ### [California Ballot Measure Local Municipalities California voters will decide 118 local tax measures and $8.07 billion in bond requests on November 3](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/california-voters-will-decide-118-local-tax-measures-and-8.07-billion-in-bond-requests-on-november-3) ### [Local Ordinance Zoning Ordinance Development Data Federal Realty Asks La Mesa to Approve a 165,000-Square-Foot Bass Pro Shops Where Macy's Stood at Grossmont Center](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/federal-realty-asks-la-mesa-to-approve-a-165000-square-foot-bass-pro-shops-where-macys-stood-at-grossmont-center) [![Obedio your municipal data source](https://hs.getobedio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/google%20workspace-1.png?width=100&height=41&name=google%20workspace-1.png "Obedio your municipal data source")](https://getobedio.com) Obedio's business intelligence platform provides data and insights from over 25,000 municipalities, enabling retail, manufacturing, finance, real estate, and government clients to make informed decisions, assess risk, and identify opportunities. **Data Source & Liability Disclaimer:** The data presented on this website is aggregated from various official government and public entities ("The Original Government Sources").
