Madison Shockley dialed in to LAist's radio show AirTalk as a guest on Wednesday morning to describe how state and local taxes are driving legal cannabis businesses like his into debt. Later that day, state police seized money from ATMs and cash registers at his dispensary, Cadre, in South Central.

Officers from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) seized more than $10,000 from the location, according to a warrant and seizure receipt Shockley shared with LAist.
