LAS VEGAS (AP) — A marijuana cultivation and production house near Las Vegas lost its license Tuesday after auditors say they found unregistered plants hidden in a closet and an attic. State Cannabis Compliance Board auditors say they found the untagged plants at Helping Hands Wellness Center during inspections in December and January. The board warns that cannabis plants and products not registered in Nevada’s regulatory tracking system could enter the illicit market and called Helping Hands an immediate public health threat. Following the suspension, Helping Hands had to shut its doors and change the locks. The board says the facility must now correct its issues with state approval before it can resume operations.
