Marijuana Dispensary wins $100,000!

When Sky High Holistic was subject to a police raid, it was hardly the end of the business. In fact, it ironically gave the marijuana dispensary a big boost, $100,000 to be exact.

The money comes from a lawsuit alleging police harassment of the marijuana dispensary, settled by the City of Santa Ana this week. Santa Ana has also agreed to drop charges against a dozen employees accused of illegally operating.

It's a good thing the cameras were on; The dispensary cameras, that is. Apparently, the cops hung around the establishment long after the raid occurred, playing darts and making demeaning comments about the staff. And once they got comfortable, they indulged in Sky High pot-laced edibles.

    Not sure if that is sarcase - but that is the solution. Government employees are almost always exempt from charges of wrong doing. Federal, state, and local - government looks to protect their own.

    Yes, however many cops were involved, the settlement should be divided that many ways, and each of them charged. They should also be charged with armed theft/robbery. They used their badges and their guns to get into the place, after all.

    Sorry, no sarcasm intended: shite like making taxpayers pay for this malarkey?

    This is also another reason I am against the TTP, etc. If Canada decides to ban Monsanto's bee/people killing products, they could sue us for lost revenue????????
    WTF?

    No... we need to get decent, common sense people in politics, instead of corruption.
