Medical Marijuana Store Shut Down, Owners Arrested [WA]

Medical Marijuana Store Shut Down, Owners Arrested
September 10, 2009 - Fox News

SPOKANE, Wash. —  Spokane police on Thursday raided a medical marijuana store, shutting it down, arresting the owners and warning similar operations to close, too.

Police said it was the first time in the state that medical marijuana distributors had been arrested on a charge of delivery of a controlled substance.

Law officers searched a store called Change, along with four private residences. Change opened earlier this year. Arrested were co-owners Scott Q. Shupe, 54, and Christopher P. Stevens, 36.

Police said the business was selling marijuana to more than 1,000 customers. The dispensary was closed, and police warned other medical marijuana dispensaries in Spokane to close their businesses as well.

Shupe was also arrested several weeks ago in Oregon while driving to Washington with four pounds of marijuana.

State law allows caretakers to purchase marijuana for medical marijuana cardholders, but Spokane police contend it remains illegal for anyone to provide it to more than one patient at a time.

Washington voters passed Initiative 692 -- the Medical Use of Marijuana Act -- in 1998. The Legislature in 2007 asked the Department of Health to define a legal supply of marijuana. The agency determined that an authorized person could possess a 60-day supply, or 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana or 15 plants. Qualifying patients have to grow their own, as marijuana is not legal to buy or sell, the agency said.

Regardless of state laws, marijuana is outlawed by the federal government, which does not accept that marijuana has medical benefits.

Ever since shupe was arrested in Oregon, their weed selection sucked. They were pushy and obnoxious. They were smoking pot in the dispensary room and served more than one person at a time.

There was an old man that was working there. He told me he had 72 different strains. I don't think the cops found this grow-op...

They had this coming.

Odds are, Shupe was being watched since he was caught in Oregon. If you were trying to catch a dealer, wouldn't you pay attention to person crossing state borders with 4 pounds?

To lighten the mood, music video of "Golden Age" by TV on the Radio shows what Shupe probably saw when he was arrested. Particularly from 1:00 and forward.

I can, mostly because eastern Washington is backwards as fuck.  Spokane is a 10 minute drive from Idaho, nuff said.

I believe my homie Krayzie Bone said it best,

"Hey my nigga we havin' a wonderful day and I won't fuck with me. Why?
'Cause it's the 1st of the month and now we smokin', chokin', rollin' blunts
And sippin' on 40 ounces thuggin' come come we got the blessed rum
From jumpin' all nights we high
Hit up the block to where? East 99
I get with my nigga to get me some yayo
Double up nigga what you need?
We got weed to get P.O.Ded
Fiend for the green leaves
Give it up it's the foe sure you better lay low
Cause the po-po creep when they roll slow
If you can't get away better toss that yayo
Keep your bankroll
Yeah we havin' a celebration, I love to stay high
And you better believe when it's time to grind
I'm down for mine crime after crime
Fin to creep to the pad cause mom's got grub on the grill
If we got the food, you know it's the 1st of the month
and my nigga we chills foe real"

The police were investigating these guys before they opened the dispensary.
