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.

    Have you actually seen the video and can pass judgment?

    Yes, it was posted on Soylent a few months ago when the story first broke.

    I haven't, but I could be convinced either way.

    So you don't really have anything constructive to add. Go and watch the video - the police were behaving in a totally unprofessional way that crossed the line into criminal several times. Even if everything in the shop had been illegal, the police deserve prosecution.
