Jeff Dolf Talks About His Dual Role
Jeff Dolf is the Agricultural Commissioner for Humboldt County, and he also serves as the County’s Sealer of Weights and Measures. At our meeting on January 5, 2018, Jeff told us about his dual role, and he discussed how those roles are evolving in the new era of legal cannabis sales and use.
“I’ve got the whole meeting in my head!”
