Busted Marijuana Dispensary in Reseda Could Have Been Any Other Pot Shop in Town, Cops Say

my name is greg i live in reseda ca in the san fernando valley. yesterday detectives opened my front door and shot at my dog under the guise of squatters occupying my home - he has wounds on his laft back paw-he is gentel and meek and the only friend ive ever had. im sending u my statement please help us ive been a papered cultivator providing meds to patients for almost 7 years. never once have i ever dispensed to a non-patient. never once have i ever accepted a donation larger than needed to cover what i had spent growing 

I am a severly disabled cannabis patient here in LA and have had my dr. reccomendation since 1998 when I was injured at work. when i could afford it i was also reg. w the county.

fri this week past in the am i was in bed w my dog, my son was also in my room when dectives from LAPD were at my door. the dog heard them first and jumped barking from the bed. fearing for my dog and after hearing the muffeled shouts of the officer i immediately called to my dog to get him away from the door i also started yelling that i was a disabled person in a wheelchair and that i was comming as fast as i can. my dog came back immediately but just as his head rounded the corner i heard a shot from the direction of the door. my son was behind me when i grabbed the dog and my son pushed him into the room. (15 minutes earlier my son had returned from the neighborhood coffee shop)

i came around the corner on my walker and was confronted by LAPD pointing a gun at me from behind a tree off the porch. he yelled at me "is there anyonelse in the house" i told him that me and my son were the only ones in the house and we were both comming out. when we were outside and after being searched i asked the officer if he shot into my house he nodded his head and said yes. when i asked him why he was here he stated that he had rec a rpt that our home was abandoned and that there were squatters inside. 

although i had my rental agreement i was not allowed to present it or even enter my home as the the detective stated that he had 'to clear the house and make sure there there wasnt anyonelse inside"i then informed him that under no circumstnces did i give my permission for him to enter my home. he informed me that when shots were fired that there had to be an investigation. at that point i informed him that i was a cannabis patient and that if they went in that it would complicate matters and again stated that no permission was given to enter my home i offered my dr reccomendation and was again refused this time the dective stated that because because the dog might be injured he had the authority to enter again i invoked my rights. he then said that because he didnt know if there was anyonelse inside he had called a tactial unit to clear my house and threatened that during the tactial units clearing my home that my beloved friend and companion would be shot and killed. at this time a supervising officer arrived.

after talking to the 2 responding decetives he aproached me and i was informed that because there were shots fired that they had to secure the house - no one was taking up positions the scean was very relaxed. again i informed the officer that i was a cannabis patient and that entry to my home was not authorized. my dog was still inside my house and i started begging the officer to allow my son to go in and retrieve the dog. after a few minutes the officer told me - he did not ask he told me - that that they were going to enter my home and once cleard they would allow my son in to get my dog who we had enclosed in the back bedroom prior to exiting. after going inside they called my son in and he brought the dog outside and turned him over to animal control. the officer then turned to another officer and told him to tape of the yard as my home was declared a crime scean.

when the lapd entered my home my medical cannabis grow was observed there were 3 areas set up to grow but equipment set up in just 2. all the buckets were empty. there was a fourth area that was used for storage that contained 16-25  marijuana plants. dry meds were found approx 12 oz and an unknown amt of wet marijuana that was just being clipped. a guess at its dried weight is approx one to one and half lbs dried. there was also a gun found but its legal and loaned by a friend that we can prove - a week prior our home had been robbed by someone who was hired to take over my sons job as my caregiver we filed a report its on record at the west valley pd - my son is employed by In Home Support Services Los Angeles county he is the individual designated by me to care for me and has consistently assumed responsibility for my housing health and safety. he takes care of me in my home so i dont have to go to a nursing home.i asked my son to care for me after i almost died from a celluitis infection 2 yrs ago it took my leg making it usless. i also have a complete seperation and bone on bone contact in L3 L4 and L5 that keeps me in consant pain im diabetic and have high blood pressure and have had 3 heart attacks in the last 5-6yrs. one thousand dollars were also found and was confiscated.

my son and i are not drug dealers with stacks of money laying arouned. i only recieve 850 a month in income my son is paid 247 a week. our rent here is 2200 a month. electricity to run the grow is like 500 a month plant food is another 400-500 a month and after replacing old for new equipment we have a payment to a local hydro shop of  almost 1000 a month i havent spoken w him but im sure he will testify. since the grow is at my house i get the very best of the harvest the surplus is despensed to the others who help me and most is donated to a dispensary to help other patients. my disabilities are harsh and the meds i need must be strong to allow me to at least have some life. with out being medicated i can bearly move. what money we have can be accounted for. ive recently sold a car that was very dear to me - it was a 1964 el camino i posted it on craigslist it was sold for 9.5gs-ive reposted it there and since CL keeps record of all its post it would be easy to ck if ive changed anything. i bought it after recieving a final settlement ck for my  back  3 yrs ago. in the robbery sited above 4000 was stolen the 1000 found was all that was left after paying some bills repairing my 2nd car an 89 sedan. i have the notice of transfer for the 64 and repair bills for the sedan.

when i 1st heard the officer there was only soft tapping ive been here 2 yrs and i know how people sound when they are yelling from outside his voice was muffled and not distant but obstructed. the report of the gun was very distinct and sharp as were his second yells they were very sharp and direct. when my son came in the front door from the coffee shop he closed the door and felt it latch. we were both very concerned that the person who had stolen our things and money knew that we had given his name and description to the police and would come back - theres no way my son would have left that door open. my door had been opened and pushed in when the officer fired his weapon into my home. im not an attorney but they used that shooting to come into my home lying about the door being open. i know my dog was in retreat if the injuries he has were from a gunshot my dog was struck from behind while in retreat. when we returned home other than confiscation of my meds almost nothing was disturbed. i also looked for evidence that a search for a spent round was conducted and there were no markings on the floors walls carpet...nothing

i have always tried to follow the law and i try to believe that we live in a free country but this is so bad i offered all my proofs and i still went to jail. please help. i go to court on the 13 of april my son goes on the 11th we are both charged w position for sale i have 2 felony priors from almost 30 years ago. ill never plea bargain this one even if they drop to probation. this time i was obeying the law. 

POLICE SHOT INTO MY HOME TO CREATE THEIR OWN CRIME SCENE. LAPD WOUNDED MY DOG THEN THREATENED ME WITH THE DEATH OF MY ONLY FRIEND TO ILLEGALLY SEARCH MY HOME. LAPD DEPRIVED ME OF MY RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS CONFISCATING MY MEDS AND SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY THAT I HAVE A RIGHT TO AS MANDATED BY THE PEOPLE AND EARNED AS A TAX PAYER.

BEINGS WHO WE THE PEOPLE HAVE ENTRUSTED TO PROTECT AND SERVE US BY ENFORCING THE LAW HAVE NOW BECOME THE VERY CRIMINALS WE HAVE FEARED. THEY NOW CREATE THEIR OWN LAWS IN THE STREET CASTING THE BURDEN OF LEGITIMIZING THEIR LAWLESSNESS ON A LEGAL SYSTEM THAT MUST PROTECT US FROM THOSE WHO STEAL RAPE AND KILL. HOW LATE DOES IT HAVE TO BE AND HOW DARK THE HOUR BEFOR WE DO SOMETHING? WILL YOU WAIT UNTIL THEY DO TO YOU WHAT THEY DID TO ME.....  

If theres anything u can do to help please contact me at praetorian.omega6@yahoo.com. thank you Greg

'Nice'... looks like Big Pharma's striking back w/our tax payer $$'d law enforcement!! Marijuana is Not a drug; it's a medicinal herb that's healing and does a Lot of Good - w/out the awful side effects of Pharmaceuticals!! Grow up, People n' do yur Research!! While corruption and stupidity prevail, we will Never have a healthy, peaceful society!! n' like there's not enough Real Crime to take care of!! Lemme guess, all that $$ just gets 'dispersed'?!! uh huh... Corruption's way worse than a little bit of MJ!!

I'm curious as to opinion of the Gov't growing MMJ at the University of Mississippi and distributes it to 4 medical marijuana patients in the USA. When a Gov't official was asked why don't they stop supplying these 4 patients, his response "that wouldn't be very compassionate of us." So the Gov't states that there is NO medicinal value to cannabis but has tons of documentation stating otherwise and actually supplies it to 4 people here in the USA. What do think about that?

you forget my friend BOTH SB420 and SB215 are the law and more importantly mandated by WE THE PEOPLE and nothing is more sacred in our society ...."a society of laws...remember? the LAPD is becoming more and more like the criminals we have entrusted them to protect us against. SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT is in itself a crime

 Yeah, lets just get rid of all the dispensaries and shut down all the medicine for all the thriving medical patients who rely on this medicine to cope with every day life. And I'm not just talking about the person who just has a head ache who can't seem to rely on a tylenol, so they get high to "take the pain away". I'm talking about taking away medicine from real patients as well who have proven medically that they do need it. The cancer patients, multiple sclerosis patients, people who suffer from aids starvation syndrome and fibromyalgia.

Lets just waste tax payer money and give it to the police who act as terrorists and take away our freedoms and rights. Those who create crime to thrive "their economy" with OUR hard earn money. Lets just create more revenue for the cartel, more violence for them to thrive on their own greed and ambitions. Hell, lets just create more drugs for the black market to plague our world with. Its bad enough since we've started the War on Drugs, we've had more arrests, more raids, and to even add, more drugs to control and regulate, and as well to make illegal. The war on drugs is more than a war on people, but a war ultimately on Cannabis. All our police can do is just take away the freedoms of those that violate, in my opinion, unjust laws and create societal breakdowns amongst families and people who have to be seen as criminals.

This long rant is more than me condoning the use of drugs, because it's really not. No kid deserves to grow up holding a crack pipe, living their next moment hopped up on drugs. Our young generation shouldn't be out partying with kids who hand out ecstacy and heroin looking for that next thrill. But just like teenagers shouldn't be having unprotected sex and making babies and spreading diseases, you can't stop people from using drugs. Teenagers will have sex, just like they will possibly take drugs in their life time. It's my ultimate belief that the war on drugs is the war on marijuana. Back in the 1930s, there were three major drug problems. Marijuana, Cocaine, and Opium. 80 plus years later with Prohibition going on strong, you can bet that drug arrests isn't the only number going up. Our drug problem continues to increase, and what's interesting and funny to me is as of 2006, we have another drug fad. Spice, the synthetic cannabis, alternative to the real stuff.A new drug that can lead users to real addiction, psychosis, and possibly even death because its laced with horrible man made chemicals and its advertised as incense and labeled not for human consumption. Just like we have spice and marijuana derivatives, we have coke and crack, opium, heroin, morphine, and more of the 1000 other opium related ways to relieve pain. And we can't forget all the other miscellaneous stuff too as well, ya know the dumb people who sniff paint solvents and take ecstacy in the butt.

Who ever started on the war on drugs was definitely high on power. This country was founded on Marijuana and no current President or government power can ever deny that. If so, then I dare them burn the Betsy Ross flag and the Declaration of Independence which were made of the same plant. I believe our government needs to take real responsibility, stop creating unnecessary crime and criminals. Stop with misinformation and lies and start educating the masses. Have faith in the bud and it will bring healing to all nations and end the war on drugs.

On another side note, the other night I saw a law firm advertisement for those seeking restitution for Acetaminophen. Another name for Tylenol, the common pain reliever. A drug that can cause liver failure and death, but I can get it over the counter and if for some reason if I ever have a messed up liver because of it, I can make millions from it. How sad is that. Big Pharma makes money and control its competition. Marijuana has never caused an overdose in history.

fuck off ahole no one is hurting you.
