RAIDS in Socal Today

[SCF]

ok, how come they de valued the stuff. 7 gallons of good oil, is worth a lot of money~~~~~

and the edibles, too.


Once again, no arrest, but they robbed all there stuff.

And, now they are using its not a non profit? wtf?

ok.. this might mean war.

 

[Hydrosun]

Um. Very Discouraging. Thank you for informing us VTA....


This is sad considering we are under Obama Administration. Yet we are still be raided?

He said why do we have to waste or money on that?

And we are.... Highly disappointed.

This wasn't federal pigs it was local pigs.

Also I liked the art Kmk posted that said:
"One of the issues that prompted the raids was that the dispensaries'
owner was not paying sales taxes, he said."

That is what I fear for Californians. The DEA may crack down some, but local CA and Board of Equalization (how Orwellian that Franchise Tax Board is now EQUALIZATION) will be up in everyones business that you'd never believe 19 was supposed to DECREASE ENFORCEMENT.

19 may legalize smoking and lesson penalties on smokers but it specifically mentions funding of ENFORCEMENT actions and as todays events demonstrate local CA knows how to ENFORCE.

Stay safe growers.

It costs allot more to incarcerate a junkie with rehab hospital costs then it is a cannabis who has no withdrawls. Since we are so strapped for cash they only want us cannabis users it's easer on them and they make more money off of the cannabis busts. Non violent people are easy busts. We just comply the Junkies sometimes shoot back.

Now if they only had better aim!

But only the ppl who decide to open shop, get a license, and sell...will be effected by this--
It doesn't effect the average smoker...which is who I see 19 as helping the most--

u bet ur ass dea was envolved. Los Angels has made it clear they condon medical marijuana.

but i read from LA times california tax board was envolved.

which may or may not be true.

they do lie, with mis information to confuse the masses.

 

[river rat01]

ya know its time to stop rolling over like sheep for these fuckers and start blasting them in the face with a 12 gauge.

peace aint getting us nowhere.

If they were truly running without paying the proper taxes or in any way out of the boundaries of the law then we should support there being busted and what will happen is they will get off all the drug charges in exchange for closing down considerable fines . Seriously if they dont run within the law we should want them penalized because we are all seeking acceptance and the right to use cannabis responsibly if those involved in this bust werent acting within the law then they were irresponsible they could have operated within the law and still made a profit but they probably decided not to do this.

Now if it was a bullshit tip and they were doing everything right that will come out and they will be exhonorated at which point they can sue for false arrest.

Sounds like the raid is already justified in your eyes with or without trial. What IS the proper TAXES? If you are a penny short do they kick your door?

Or in any way out of the BOUNDARIES of the LAW? What the fuck is that? IF they are OUTSIDE the law it is incumbent upon A COMPLAINING WITNESS to SEEK prosecution. Are you SEEKING prosecution of anyone?

Are any people clutivating flowers in need of "being busted"?

I don't like your post.

NO JOINT FOR YOU.

 

[RoachClip]

My take goes like this here > junkies shoot every last penny & tweakers use all their dinero's as well and work and live on the street and trick to get their dope money and are always broke so they will never get the money to get bailed out so what does the Dea & Leo do > they raid growers and dispensaries because they know many sell their grow in return put the money back for supplies and paying bills etc you get the point so who has more cash to take from in a raid junkies or mj growers you do the math.

Have you ever seen a broke homeless mj grower hanging on a corner to turn another trick to get dinero's?

fucking pigs will cut from the real weight of the ice & coke or herion before they bag & tag it into evidence and it will hit the streets to their Informants and fucking drug dealers they use and hold charges against to make their weekly $ so it's just another every day struggle.

Usual LEO exaggeration -- solvent included, no doubt.

Usual LEO exaggeration -- solvent included, no doubt.

And when the solvent evaporates, it's actually 20 ccs or less, total ...

These kinds of lies used to be prevalent when LEO would weigh entire cannabis plants, soaking wet and still with soil attached to the roots.

This is hysteria, and these fascist LEOs must be feeling desperate as the Prop 19 vote looms on November 02, 2010. No doubt the alleged coke and meth were used in order to gain the search warrants to begin with. Sorry assed mother fuckers.

7 gallons of oil jumping jehosaphat

Justified I have no Idea did you notice I said If they truly were outside the boundaries as in hiding income, selling something other then cannabis , I think you can figure out what truly outside the boundary of the medical marijuana laws are all I mean is if they were breaking the laws they deserve to go down if they werent then they should go to court and demand to face there accuser and then if they are exhonorated they should be able to sue for restitution due to false arrest if you noticed I put that in my post as well that if they were innocent of any wrong doing then they should receive restitution.

What justifies a raid though if a PD takes 9 months to investigate a meth lab before the raid everyone says why didnt you jump on them sooner and if they jump sooner and find no meth and only pot its the same thing they have to investigate every complaint but personally if it was an issue of operation that was mostly them hiding profits and not only making a reasonable compensation for there time but profiteering then it should have been a treasury dept raid that investigated them as a business in general and not anything to do with pot if it turns out there profits from mmj turn up as illegitimate then prosecution for trafficking may be appropriate. But come on lets not always blame the cops there are lots of cops out there who are decent about pot I have one friend who was busted while harvesting his plants the cop told him if there was more then 4 he would charge him if it was 4 or less he would let him go and let him keep his personal this time but if he grew on public land again he would bbe prosecuted to the full extent of the law. So remember they are only following the directives they are given as part of there job description.

Oh and one last thing what is wrong with supporting legalized marijuana for everyone but also be willing to follow the present laws as they stand , I am not saying I agree with them but I definetly dont agree with anarchy the laws are there to structure our society and make it work if a law is wrong its up to us to change it but until its changes you choices are to live with them and follow them, fight against them and openly break them and be willing to go to jail for your belief,or to complain do nothing and bitch at anyone who is willing to follow the laws to make sure there life runs as wrinkle free as possible.

Luckily as a canadian a mmj card means a lot more then the ones anywhere in the US do to the fact our laws are provincial as well as federal so as long as you grow no more plants then allowed , store now more bud then allowed and dont sell it your good but I do believe that the way it should be is anyone can grow a garden indoors up to 30 square feet or up to 25 plants outdoors and be able to legally transfer it to others with no monetary gain as in give it to friends. And as much as I want laws to change I will also follow them because I cant afford to hassle with breaking them.

That's the best point of view I have ever heard on the subject... Fucking genius... It all makes sense now. Fucking pigs.

 

[guest4098]

There is no way they were making cocaine in America. Doesn't make any sense. The AP is really just printing anything nowadays. I love how they don't even attach a journalists name to the stories.

Why don't people grow cocaine in America? I have always wondered this...

Being Canadian, you dont understand the corruption of our government.

Canada Government is a lot different than our government.

They are liars, and up to things, they would never reveal to us. why so secretive?

Why do they bust people without arresting them? and still there stuff?

When the penalties for these things are years in prison?

Because they dont have a case

And if it goes to higher courts. To be appealed after being convicted.

Then the law becomes Firmer, as Judges follow higher court orders. And lawyers use them as a example called a "Motion" for dismissal, and return of properties. Thats why they didn't arrest anyone out of 16 medical marijuana shops. Thats a lot of employees. Believe me!

talking 100 people at least... not one arrest. Just took there stuff and left.

and you better believe they BUGGED EVERY ONE OF THOSE PLACES

WARNING LA:: Those places raided are now bugged. If you do visit them. Expect to be surveillance.

They did this to Charles Lynchs Club. And he was 100 percent within the law.

Bro, I think you misread....

Eleven people were arrested in connection with the operation, which took place Wednesday morning in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties.

Or did I miss something??

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


hahaha

 

[kmk420kali]

You could grow coca as shrubs, in your front yard...and nobody would even know-- (Except maybe some South American Gardeners/neighbors) lol

 

[SCF]

some conflicting stories in the papers as usual. Thanks for pointing that out. Must of been stoned.

Very Interesting... wondering who, and what they are being charged with exactly, in what county, or if its federal.

Also you know they have done that to so many clubs. just rip them off and not even charge them. so i hope these guys are set up to Fight!
