EVERETT — A food truck that sells cannabis-laced snacks won’t be coming to Everett this weekend after all.
Backers of the undertaking ran into some sort of a permitting issue related to bringing the truck to Jet City farmers market, located just south of Everett, said Kirsten Hurley, who works at a New York PR firm that had been handling publicity about the visit.
She didn’t immediately know details about the permit problem on Thursday morning.
Instead, the truck now plans to go to a different farmer’s market, located in Black Diamond.
The planned Everett visit was part of an effort to promote a botanical extractor made by Seattle-based MagicalButter.com.
Sales from the hot-pink rolling restaurant, dubbed the Samich Truck, weren’t intended to comply with Washington’s rules for legal pot sales. Instead, they were aimed at people with a doctor’s permission to use pot. The wares to be offered included THC-fortified sandwiches, popcorn and other treats.
If the truck had come to Everett it would have operated outside the scope of rules the state Liquor Control Board has been working on since November 2012, when voters passed Initiative 502.
“There are any number of reasons why it’s incompatible with I-502,” Liquor Control spokesman Mikhail Carpenter said earlier this week.
