Just a question, I haven't heard.
Has the owner actually been arrested and charged?
Or did they just take cash, meds, anything else intresting, and break glass?

Just wondering?

. . . I found a package of bread at Kroger's the other day with a huge cannabis leaf on it. It was pure hemp bread. So now a manufacture can make a produce an illegal substance, one that supplies relief and comfort to so many, and package it as bread. I know there is no THC value in the bread but the fact that you can grow a straight hemp plant for thread or nourishment and get arrested for it is insane. why can Kroger import and sell it but I can't grow it. Tax reasons maybe?
. . .

it is crazy, isn't it? i was shopping for a gift last year and saw they have hemp lotions for women that also have the big bad cannabasin leaf on it, i thought the same thing, almost bought it for the gift, they prolly would have dug it but . . . :hippy:

i'm not sure about Canada but i was thinking i read somewhere that hemp is legal to grow up there, or maybe it was just the seeds or something else. its all just sillyness, really.

California Cannabis Hemp & Health Initiative 2008 is a petition that would, if signed by enough California voters and passed this November during the election, allow hemp and cannabis to be raised by California farmers, much like California's wine industry is regulated today. :thumbsup:

from a national view, me must demand congress act now to cut all funding to the dea. they have proved time and time again that they are a completely outdated concept.

first, my intention is not to flame this, but only to present an alternate opinion ... there are a lot of 'dispensaries' that are nothing more than a 'front' for selling pot ... 'gangsters in storefronts', I call 'em ... I don't know anything about these particular dispensaries, but the DEA has generally only been busting the ones with guns, gangsters, and many thousands of dollars by the bagfulls ... maybe you feel sorry for people selling pot for $20 a gram, and owning a pair of Ferraris, but I sure as hell don't ... grow your own meds, grow your legal number of plants, and they're not likely to bother you ... put your sympathies with a better class of people :smokin:

Not everybody is able to grow their own...To some, like myself it's as simple as gardening, but there are many people who are unable to do it, and these 'storefronts' are the only place where they're able to get the specific strains that are most effective in treating their symptoms..

If you had a medical marijuana dispensary, wouldn't you want to use your right to bear arms to protect your business??

Yes, the price is ridiculous, but due to marijuana being illegal, these are the prices that we are forced to pay.

And I think there is a perfectly logical explanation as to why the dea's search warrants for dispensaries always remain under seal don't you?

The 'gangsters in storefronts' enable a lot of people direct access to quality marijuana, rather than them having to travel even further to a dispensary..I don't live in california, but from what I understand most if not all places require a medical card just to get into the front door...

The DEA is defeating the principle of federalism by doing this, and taking a shit on the United States Constitution, which in my opinion is absolutely uncalled for. It trips my trigger to know that my federal tax dollars are aiding these sorry sons of bitches in taking medicine away from people who need it.

I'd say the second one if I had to guess.

Kinda what I was thinking too.
Did they raid his home too?
Doubt it.
But they made the papers and blogs.

Any way you could update this? I heard on ABC/7 tonight that they shut down another one yesterday because an employee of the dispensary sold a pound to a DEA agent!!! Said, they had been lokn for um since someone hit a CHP officer (now with paralysis) and showed a moving picture of the guy in a W/C looking bad! Didn't make legalization look good at ALL! then said there are 300 in L.A. county alone: So those who think they can get rich selling, too much competition. BUT IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED TO BE MORE ON OUR GUARD AND AS LEGAL AS POSSIBLE, CAUTIOUS AND CAREFUL AS POSSIBLE TO PROTECT WHAT WE HAVE LEFT! Any thots? It bothered me!
