WASHINGTON _ When a tax deadline approaches, county officials in the heart of California's marijuana country ring up millions of dollars in cash deliveries from licensed growers.
Around the rest of the state, deep-pocketed cannabis growers and retailers make appointments three weeks in advance when they want to hand-deliver stacks of cash to the two dozen state tax offices that accept Benjamin Franklins.
The money comes in, but neither the government nor the marijuana companies are particularly happy about hauling around so much cash.
