Smokey Jones and their legal team announce a press conference to address the recent raid by the Tampa Police Department, becoming the first in the state of a licensed hemp retail company for possessing and selling federally legal THC-A flower. The press conference will be held on Monday, May 19th, at 2:30 p.m. outside Courtroom 17 of the Hillsborough County Courthouse. Event Details: • Date: Monday, May 19, 2025 • Time: 2:30 p.m. • Location: Outside Courtroom 17, Hillsborough County Courthouse Background: On April 15, 2025, the Tampa Police Department executed a search warrant at Smokey Jones LLC, located at 4035 W. Hillsborough Ave., Tampa, FL 33614. Numerous items were seized during the raid. Smokey Jones LLC is a registered business with the Florida Department of Corporations and a licensed Hemp Food Establishment by the Florida Department of Agriculture. The raid was based on law enforcement's belief that the establishment was selling illegal marijuana, despite the products being federally legal hemp with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of less than 0.3%. Law enforcement seized over two-hundred thousand dollars’ worth of hemp products and took all the money out of the cash register and safe and proceeded with a forfeiture action on the belief that the money was derived from illegal drug sales.
