It wasn't a fine. It was a tax that they all agree should be paid but the argument was whether it would be retroactive or not. Getting an extension to pay is reasonable for both the dispensary and the city. I really think they made this into more than what it actually was for television.
Now the IRS applying section 280e to the dispensary in episode 2 is a much bigger concern.

now i see that this was taped a few weeks ago when the IRS audit was new news..
i think the two growers are kind of silly.. blind leading the blind am i right? they keep ending up with pathetic crops... lol..
i am very hopeful about that epilepsy case! 4 days without a seizure when they were happening every day!! that is biblical proportions of news in my mind.. i wish that i could have straight CBD pills instead of my meds which could kill me..

Thought the second episode was excellent.
As far as the growers go, no. You'd be surprised. I've had that guys strawberry cough before and it was possibly the best bud I've ever smoked in my life. He's very legit. They weren't lying when they said his bud lasts less than a day. Last time I saw his bud on harborside's twitter feed I drop up to Oakland to get some, got to harborside by 3pm and it was already gone even though they limited the quantities to 1 gram per patient.
IMO he screwed that one up really bad making some really bad choices, but that can happen to anyone. I see where you're coming from though. In that episode they looked like dumbasses.
If you ever get a chance to pick up his strains at harborside, do it.

i thought that it was a bit strange that he tried the Co2 method to kill bugs though he had never used it before - i think that some things they cook up to make the tv show more interesting.. maybe it underscores the difficulty of the trade like showing ice road trucks falling through the ice layer..

yep. I agree. He didn't even do the Co2 method right. You'd think he'd know that you have to do multiple treatments due to hatching eggs. But it looks like he just panicked and pulled everything early.
But yeah, I agree. Looks like an attempt to show the difficulty of being a pro farmer. In that respect it was pretty successful.

The collective i used to be a member of (before the Fed raids in Cali) was asked to be a featured collective. They declined because they were afraid it would draw too much attention.
Since the owner and his son are both facing 20-life now i guess it wouldn't have made much of a difference

Hell, I'm from the bay area and I couldn't identify with the "bay area values" in the first episode.
You should definitely watch the second one. It's a complete 180. The guy who brings in his epileptic son is a real eye opener. I think everyone can universally identify with "my child is sick and needs medicine!". You'll see. Check it out and you will not be disappointed.

just watched the first episode and those dudes are some dorks. they are not going to be taken seriously if they can't present themselves seriously. i agree i have no idea how they made it that big in the first place. lets see what ep 2 brings to the table...

It looks like he was trying to smoke a rock. I know they probably edit a lot but it looked like he tried one hit, determined it wasn't enough then jumped right to hash. He really missed out not having anyone he knows smoke him up.
