Lori Ajax , the only person ever to oversee the Bureau of Cannabis Control, has retired, the bureau confirmed on Friday.
MJ Biz Daily
- Ajax was appointed to the chief deputy director position in 2016 by Gov. Jerry Brown, after having served as chief deputy director of the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
- It’s unclear who will appoint an interim director, in part because of next year’s planned three-way oversight merger.
- An earmark of Ajax’s era was angry and disappointed operators buttonholing the administrator. Yet spokesperson Alex Traverso compared Ajax to “the baseball player who stays and signs autographs until everyone’s gone.”
