Medical Marijuana Dispensary Operators Convicted as Drug Dealers in Long Beach

Christ everyone knows whats up with the medical program. It's bullshit we have to act like bureaucrats (call what we're doing something else so it's legal) to pursue our God given rights. Why can't a man make millions being a farmer? Yet some men make millions off the Prison–industrial complex? 

Believeor not but my roomate's sister makes USD80 an hour on the computer. She hasbeen fired from work for 10 months but last month her income was $7396 justworking on the computer for a few hours. Here's the site to read more... MakeCash17.cøm

The irony is that when MJ is legalized.  The current structure will be dissolved -- dispense, docs, delivery. 

What then??

Honestly... some of the despenseries are uber schetchy.  Like fairy dust is flying as fast as the cash... 

So you can't make a profit selling marijuana ? What is this Russia?

Funny how the gov has no problem issuing patents for medical cannabis to a private corporation in ny state... But by all means leave it in a complete grey area so the gov can bust anyone at anytime

Too bad their egocentric "celebrity" attorney is more concerned with making a name for herself than keeping her clients out of prison! What a circus, what a joke!

A "total bullshit" decision that is really, in part, the fault of our bad decision to keep pursuing "medical marijuana" rather than push for every adults right to grow, gift, sell their overage without taxes, regulation or government control.

This could of been a simple and informative write-up til your 2cents ruined it..

...just my 2cents

He Bud. You should serve on a jury. You read one line about $2m and then begin quoting. LIES. Never shown any evidence and if you knew the two men, their lives, their homes and assistance they have provided the community is beyond question. We al need to stop being sheep!

Such a total load of injustice. This case should care the he'll out of everybody. You mention the millions in profit. Where was the evidence? Where was all this so called money? All prosecution fabricated crap to paint an unsupported prosecution. Then the judge doesn't follow the rules of evidence. No proof but yet prosecution is allowed to make these claims without any suppot. Justice gone wild with an 80 yea old judge who thinks he writes the laws rather than rule and support the laws. Now the real kicker......$2,000,000.00 on this pathetic attack. While I watch nurses standing on the streets in LB striking over money, fireman laid off, teachers laid off. But this is how our asshole employees of the state piss away our tax dollars. This isn't about weed. This ran right over to freedom and rights being trampled.

You don't have to defend criminal conduct to defend patients. If there's one thing everyone agrees on -- or should -- it's that good operators are being tainted unfairly by the actions of bad operators who set up shop to make money first and foremost, just like prosecutors say. The fact that patients benefited from safe access to medication through the subject dispensaries is laudable, but when the operators pocket $2 million in the process, that's plainly wrong.

Don't confuse the type of business -- in this case, the storefront dispensary -- with the operators of those businesses. To say all stores are bad is ridiculous, and it's equally dumb to say all dispensaries are bad without taking location, ownership and other factors into account.

Unfortunately, if the good dispensary operators say anything publicly about their profiteering neighbors down the street, they're accused of being narcs or worse. They also invite attention to their own business operations, which may not be entirely legal either even if they're less profitable and more patient-centered. The industry has proven unable and unwilling to police itself, and in the absence of reasonable state regulations, 2011 will go down as a year where prohibitionists won the battle. In 2012, patients strike back, and they'd better not pull their punches when it comes to people and businesses that are in it for the money alone.

Better to support the drug cartels, don't want them missing out on profits. I say shut all the dispensaries down so that the Mexicans have more money to buy guns!  /sarcasm

CANNABIS IS MEDICINE!! Why don't they arrest big pharma for trafficking pills and making billions of dollars off of it? Canabis should be legal to make profit off too as long as taxes are paid.. F*** the feds!!

the whole california medical marijuana program is a scam. it is supposed to help those with severe medical conditions (mostly chemotherapy), yet the average age of the patients in this program is 24 (and trending lower), and 3% of the entire state has a "medical prescription" from their doctor. it was a noble cause in the beginning, now it's a farce, like the occupy movement.

stick to the facts and keep your stupid opinions to yourself.
