NEWS: Video footage of medical marijuana dispensary robbery released by LAPD

Los Angeles police released security video footage Thursday of three men who shot and wounded two employees during a robbery earlier this month at a Northridge marijuana dispensary.

Det. Joel Price from the West Valley station said police want help in identifying the men, who entered the medical marijuana cooperative in the 8200 block of White Oak Avenue about 9:25 p.m. Dec. 15. Two of the men fired multiple times and wounded two men before fleeing.

One of the victims took out a handgun and returned fire but was shot by the robbers, police said.

One of the victims was critically injured, having been shot several times in the head, arm and legs, police said. The other man was wounded in the back and legs.

The robbers took out what they believed was a video recorder, a small amount of marijuana and an undetermined amount of cash before leaving in a late-model Nissan Titan pickup truck.

The robbers are described as three male Latinos. Police describe one of them as between 5 feet 1 and 5 feet 10, weighing 170 pounds, with a thick mustache. He was wearing a blue and white knit ski cap with ear covers, police said.


Another was 5 feet 7 to 5 feet 10 and weighed about 170 pounds, with short brown hair, a mustache and heavy eyebrows. He was wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans and also had a handgun, police said.

The third robber was described wearing dark pants, a zip-up jacket and a black New York Mets baseball cap.

NEWS: Wildomar medical marijuana collective goes to court

Wildomar, California
The organizers of a Wildomar medical marijuana collective are asking for the court's help in their fight to stay open.

Wildomar Patients Compassionate Group is seeking an order to stop the city Planning Director Matthew Bassi from enforcing the city's ban on medical marijuana dispensaries.

In legal papers filed Monday in Riverside County Superior Court, lawyers for the collective argued that Bassi's legal authority to enforce the ban conflicts with state law that allows for the medicinal use of marijuana. The petition also alleges that Bassi's actions "are motivated exclusively by a desire" to eliminate collectives.

Wildomar City Manager Frank Oviedo on Wednesday said the petition wasn't unexpected. He said the city attorney will review the petition and advise the City Council.

The petition comes more than two months after the council upheld the city's ban on dispensaries. The nonprofit collective, which signed a one-year lease for a Mission Trail property last December, opened in March but soon received a cease-and-desist letter from the city threatening civil and criminal action if it didn't shut down, according to the petition.

Besides an order to stay open, the collective also wants the court to rescind the letter.

The collective suspended operations so the council could craft an ordinance allowing collectives. But the council voted 3-1 with one absent in September to retain the ban.

The petition comes as another collective gets started in Temecula. Cooperative Patients' Services argues that Temecula's dispensary ban doesn't apply to it, because the collective isn't selling marijuana to patients but patients are exchanging it with each other.

Temecula officials have said the collective has no right to handle marijuana.

In Riverside, a judge on Wednesday ruled the city was within its rights to use zoning laws to ban dispensaries. The city is trying to shut down seven dispensaries within its boundaries.

Currently, Palm Springs is the only Riverside County city to allow dispensaries. The Riverside County Board of Supervisors is considering a law to permit dispensaries in unincorporated areas.

NEWS: Another lawsuit filed over fire sprinklers at medical marijuana collective

The owner of a Lake Elsinore medical marijuana collective has sued the city and City Council, accusing both of failing to comply with building and safety codes because automatic fire sprinklers are not installed in City Hall or the Cultural Center.

The suit filed on behalf of Carlos Stahl, owner of R Side Medical, seeks a court order requiring the city to put fire suppression systems in both Main Street buildings, which have been declared historic.

It is the second time this year that Stahl has sued the city and the second time the city has been sued because of the lack of fire sprinklers in both buildings.

City Manager Bob Brady declined Thursday to comment on the lawsuit.

Stahl sued the city in May in a dispute over the operation of his collective. City code enforcement officers revoked his business license this year when it was determined he was dispensing medical marijuana despite a city ban on the sales.

City officials said previously the business license issued to Stahl only allowed the sale of clothing, apparel and holistic medicines and included a notation barring the sale of medical marijuana. A copy of the license Stahl possessed did not include the notation.

The collective has been shut down by the city three times but continues to operate, Stahl said.

"The city has been very, very harsh on us," Stahl said Thursday.

Stahl's May lawsuit seeks to declare as unlawful city ordinances banning medical marijuana sales and to bar the city from enforcing the ordinances. A hearing is scheduled in December.

The new suit seeking the installation of fire sprinklers, Stahl said, is not being used as "a bargaining chip with the city."

"If I'm going to have to clean my house, you'd better clean yours," Stahl said.

In the suit filed Monday in Riverside County Superior Court, Stahl said the city has not followed the same rules it calls on others to follow, though state and local building codes require public agencies to comply with such measures just as the public.

In order to occupy both buildings, the suit states, City Hall and the Cultural Center are required to have automatic fire sprinkler systems that have been tested and approved.

"The city has not ... retrofitted the buildings according to code," Stahl said.

Stahl's lawsuit seeking fire sprinklers mirrors one filed by the owner of Trevi Entertainment Center, Michel Knight, whom Stahl has referred to as a "mutual acquaintance" in a letter to Brady.

Knight filed the suit a week after the planning commission revoked his conditional use permit that allowed live music, dancing and entertainment in his Mission Trail business. Knight agreed in June to drop the lawsuit in a deal that allowed him to offer live entertainment at Trevi.

Councilman Thomas Buckley said, "Stahl seems to be using the exact same red herring that Michel Knight used. I think the community should find that disturbing. The apparent connection between Michel Knight and Mr. Stahl is extremely disturbing."

NEWS: San Diego County Narcotics Task Force Detectives Open and Operate Medical Marijuana Dispensary in San Diego

By: Eugene Davidovich, October 18, 2010

The undercover officers dubbed themselves as ‘New Management’ before detaining and interrogating unsuspecting patients walking into the dispensary that day.

SAN DIEGO –Thursday morning of last week, San Diego County Narcotics Task Force (NTF) detectives arrested James Harder a founding member of the Helping Hands Wellness Collective at his home in San Diego. The detectives also served search warrants at the dispensary located on 5th Avenue in Hillcrest. The arrest and search of the dispensary was the extent of what the search and arrest warrants authorized the NTF to do that that day.

After booking Harder into San Diego County Jail, NTF Detective Mark Andrew Carlson however was not finished. He ordered his team to dawn orange Helping Hands Wellness shirts and open the dispensary on time at 10am, taking San Diego District Attorney (DA) Bonnie Dumanis’ fierce fight against medical marijuana to a whole new level.

Mark Carlson is the same detective who for over two years, under the direct orders of Deputy DA Chris Lindbergh led the investigation and helped prosecute Jovan Jackson of Answerdam collective. After Jackson was vindicated of all marijuana related charges in his first trial, Carlson was instrumental in convincing the DA’s office to continue with the second prosecution and trial.

According to Matt, one of the patients who visited the dispensary that day, detectives welcomed him to the collective, told him the facility was under ‘new management’, checked him in, and even provided him with free concentrated cannabis (hash) as a gift before inquiring with the unsuspecting patient whether he cultivated his own medicine. As soon as Matt told them that he did, the detectives pulled out their badges, said they were DEA, and then proceeded to detain and interrogate him for almost two hours.

San Diego Americans for Safe Access (SDASA), the local chapter of the nation’s largest advocacy group advancing therapeutic use and research medical marijuana, received a call on Thursday around noon from another patient who said the Helping Hands Collective was “taken over” by law enforcement. The call was followed by an email to SDASA from a sales representative of San Diego CityBeat, who also stopped into the dispensary that day to visit their advertising client only to find out that the place is ‘under new management’.

Upon receipt of these reports, SDASA quickly activated the local Raid Response Team (RRT). The team was successfully able to verify, confirm, and notify the community of the raid within minutes of the initial reports.

San Diego CityBeat reported on the story that afternoon, quoting Matt as saying, “They kept asking how much medicine do I buy, how am I affording it, where am I getting it from, what cooperatives I’m a member of where my garden is, they just basically, in a easy sentence, they raped me for everything I had and never told me I had a right to remain silent. They made me think if I didn’t talk they would arrest me on the spot.”

The NTF detectives were operating the collective from 10am to 2pm before being forced to cease their activity by San Diego Americans for Safe Access advocates, who quickly arrived on the scene.

Aside from the quick response, members of SDASA’s RRT that day, successfully and lawfully intervened and were able to stop to the NTF from operating the collective and putting additional patients at risk of this rogue action by San Diego NTF detectives.

San Diego Americans for Safe Access – Raid Response Team Eye Witness Account:

After receiving the call from a patient on Thursday morning, I first called Helping Hands to verify the reports of a ‘take over’. A male voice in a very polite manner answered the phone saying “Helping Hands, how may I help you today?”

I asked the male, “Is the collective open today?”

My question was quickly answered with another question. “Are you a customer or a vendor?”

This immediately raised a red flag for me and added to my suspicion that the person on the other line, was not a member of the collective but was in fact an undercover police officer posing as a member. I asked myself, “has the NTF actually stooped to this level?”

I proceeded to tell the person on the line, “My name is Eugene Davidovich and I’m calling from San Diego Americans for Safe Access, can we speak to a member of this collective?”

The male answered, “Hold on let me let you speak with the manager.”

After a short delay, another male got on the phone, and this time said “Who is this, can I help you?”

The voice was very familiar and only one name came to mind; Detective Mark Andrew Carlson, San Diego NTF detective who was the lead investigator in the Jovan Jackson case.

I introduced myself to the supposed “patient” and asked to speak to a member of the collective again. This time the undercover told me “hold on” and the line went dead.

Following this conversation, I activated the SDASA RRT and headed for the facility in Hillcrest.

Before I arrived at the collective, Terrie Best, another member of the RRT was already on the scene conducting an onsite survey. By the time I arrived, Terrie reported finding no evidence of police activity in front of the collective and at first, everything appeared to be normal. No police cars, DEA trucks or any other law enforcement activity was visible. The facility appeared open, and we could see people moving inside through the windows.

As soon as Terrie and I walked up to the front entrance of the facility, the lock in the glass tinted doors clicked shut. I knocked on the door and through the tinted window could see someone wearing an orange Helping Hands T-Shirt motioning to us with a finger that he would be right with us.

After not being let in through the fount doors, we walked around the back of the building into the alley.

This is when we realized the reports were true. The NTF had taken over the collective and was operating it under the guise of “new management”.

Six large F150 trucks were parked in the alley in back of the facility. A large white trailer was pushed up to the back door of the collective and almost a dozen undercover officers were scurrying back and forth loading unmarked boxes and bags in to the trailer.

After several minutes of watching the officers pack the trailer, I saw Detective Carlson walk out from the back of the collective. The minute he saw me, he screamed “Eugene, get out of here”.

While Carlson was busy venting his anger out at me, Terrie was busy questioning the other detectives as to why they were there, what agency they were with, etc.

I could hear Terrie ask one of the undercover officers, “are you San Diego County Sheriff or DEA”?

The undercover replied, “I’m a Sheriff from one of 58 Sheriff’s Department in the State”.

“Which one”? Terrie asked.

After hesitating for a moment the detective finally caved in and admitted, “I am with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department”.

“Why did you raid this collective?” Terrie continued.

The undercover replied, “That’s a part of an ongoing investigation, and I can’t talk about it unless you are with the media, are you with the media?”

“No I am not”, Terrie replied. “But what would you tell me if I was with the media?”

The detective could not resist Terrie’s friendly demeanor and sweet personality he told Terrie “I would tell you to call the Public Information Officer”.

“Great, what’s his name and number”, Terrie replied.

“That’s not Public information” the officer hissed.

Terrie was quick to point out that “you just told me that it was the ‘Public’ information officer was it not?”

The detective frustrated, let out a groan and walked away. Clearly perturbed with the SDASA RRT presence, Carlson proceeded to hurry all the detectives along to pack the trailer faster.

By this time Dennis and Melissa, two other members of the SDASA RRT arrived on the scene and joined our efforts.

As we continued to monitor the situation, one of the officers dressed in an orange Helping Hands t-shirt walked out of the collective and began to chit chat with the others, apparently forgetting that he was still dressed up as a ‘member’ of the collective.

I walked closer to him and called out “Excuse me sir, with the Helping Hands shirt, are you a member of this collective?”

The detective at first ignored me, then quickly two others ran up to him, and began to shout at the undercover, “I told you to stay inside, you are under arrest”.

When I realized, the detectives were trying to create the appearance that the person wearing the Helping Hands shirt, was actually a member under arrest and not an undercover officer, I couldn’t help but laugh at the pathetic attempt. Minutes later, a photographer from NBC arrived to document the events.

After seeing news cameras, detectives jumped in their cars and took off with tires screeching ending their day of opening and operating a dispensary.

Following this incident, I contacted Detective Carlson’s boss with the San Diego Police Department and inquired if Carlson was authorized as part of the investigation to operate the dispensary. His boss told me that he was not aware that the NTF was actually operating the facility. He said he was under the impression that San Diego detectives were simply assisting the Santa Barbara NTF in executing a search and arrest warrant.

NEWS: Palm Springs City Council to give final approval of third medical marijuana dispensary

Organic Solutions of the Desert at 560 Williams Road was tentatively awarded a permit in June when the council voted to allow a third dispensary.

The Palm Springs City Council is expected to give final approval tonight to an entrepreneur who plans to open a third medical marijuana dispensary in the city.

Organic Solutions of the Desert at 560 Williams Road was tentatively awarded a permit in June when the council voted to allow a third dispensary.

Jim Camper, the collective’s president, said the official opening was dependent on getting permits.

“I figure, hopefully, (to open in) the beginning of October,” Camper told City News Service.

Eight other people applied for the permit.

A city report found that a third city-sanctioned dispensary would help provide a sufficient number of “reliable and appropriately regulated medical marijuana cannabis cooperatives.”

In March 2009, the council voted to allow two collectives, or cooperatives, in compliance with state law to operate within the city’s three industrial zones.

In an unrelated matter, the City Council will consider raising the cost of using the city pool from $3.50 to $4.50 for adults and from $2.50 to $3 for children 4-12 years old, according to a staff report.

The increased charge is to help cover operating costs. The most recent hike was in July 2008.

NEWS: Medicinal marijuana operators and advocates stage protest at City Hall

Incensed by the city’s determination that just a quarter of the registered Los Angeles medical marijuana dispensaries are qualified to remain open, about 80 operators and advocates held a subdued rally Tuesday and then trooped into City Hall to demand that the City Council intervene.

The protest’s only speaker was Don Duncan, a Los Angeles resident who is the state director for Americans for Safe Access, an advocacy organization. Standing on a planter next to placards that went unused and donuts that went uneaten, he urged the crowd to lobby their council members.

“Don’t be discouraged. Don’t be cynical. Stand up and fight some more, and we’re going to win this,” he said. “I say shame on the council for letting this process go on autopilot.”

The city clerk’s office, based on legal advice from the city attorney’s office, has notified 128 of the 169 registered dispensaries that applied to remain open that they were ineligible. Many were eliminated only because their management changed since they registered with the city in 2007, a little-noticed requirement in the city’s medical marijuana ordinance. Among those excluded are almost all of the most politically active dispensary operators.

Barry Kramer, who runs California Patients Collective, told the City Council that the provision was ridiculous. “The city has deemed that a management change is somehow harmful to our community,” he said, noting that the Police Department also has had a management change.

Heather Boswell, who cradled a Jack Russell terrier she has for emotional support, said she uses marijuana for manic depression, to balance out the medication she takes. “My motto is, I don’t get high, I get even,” she said. She noted that the ordinance restricts patients to one dispensary, and she said the one she prefers, Cornerstone Research Collective, was declared ineligible because of management changes. If it closes, she said, “I will be in a very bad situation.”

Michael Backes, who runs Cornerstone in the Eagle Rock neighborhood, predicted that many aspects of the ordinance, which took effect in June, would not stand up in court. “It’s going to be shredded like a potato pancake,” he said. “When this thing ends up being chopped up with scissors by the Superior Court, the City Council is going to have to step up.”

The city has sued all the ineligible operators and asked Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Anthony J. Mohr to rule on whether the city’s procedure is legal. About 80 dispensaries, which were outlawed by the ordinance, have sued to overturn the law.

Councilman Jose Huizar, whose district includes Eagle Rock, said, “There’s going to be a lot of kinks in any new legislation.” He said the city attorney’s office has advised the council to let the court cases go forward. “Look, we have to see what the judge rules,” he said.

He said he was not worried that people who need to use medical marijuana will be unable to get it, noting that the ordinance allows for 70 dispensaries. “When all the dust settles,” he said, “medical marijuana patients will have access, but we’re going through an uncomfortable time.”

Councilman Ed Reyes, who oversaw the creation of the ordinance, said he intends to meet with city officials to discuss its implementation.

“It’s a living document,” he said.

But he said he was wary of intruding into the winnowing process. “To me, what’s hard to grasp is: Who do you believe?” he said. “Weeding out who is legitimate is very difficult.”

NEWS: Marijuana Collectives Face First City Deadlines

If more than half the nonprofit medical marijuana collectives in the city continue to operate after this Sunday, they will be doing so illegally, officials say.

Municipal Code 5.87 will go into effect Aug. 29, and its restrictions — mainly those having to do with proximity to schools — on medical marijuana collectives will nullify more than 40 of them.

“We’re working on the process, and we’re already in the midst of readying enforcement for Aug. 29,” said Erik Sund, the city’s business relations manager. “It’s going to be a process, but we’re aware of all the collectives, and proper noticing has already occurred for those affected by Aug. 29.”

Sund said he estimates that between 92 and 95 collectives are operating within Long Beach city limits today.

However, the new collective permitting laws set forth in Municipal Code 5.87 restrict where collectives can operate. They cannot be within a 1,500-foot radius of a public or private high school and they cannot be within 1,000-foot radius of a public or private institution that services kindergarten through eighth grade.

Because of those specific restrictions, between 55% and 70% of those existing collectives will be operating illegally if they do not cease operation before next Monday, Sund said. He was unable to release the specific names of those collectives.

The city is still vetting applications for official permitting. About 54 applications were received for collective permits, Sund said. Some of those permits may be included in the 90-plus that already are open, while others could be slated to open if they receive a permit, he added.

“Everyone who submitted an application is still going through the review process,” Sund said.

That review process is scheduled for completion in the near future, possibly within the next 10 days, Sund said, and then the list of those that applied will be made available. It will be completed before the Sept. 20 lottery, which will decide the other most difficult part of the new law: No collective may operate within a 1,000-foot radius of another collective.

Officials are working on securing a lottery machine to use ping pong balls for a show that will be open to the public and all interested parties, said Mike Mais, assistant city attorney.

“The way it will work, let’s say if you are the first applicant pulled and then there is another applicant (within the 1,000 feet) who’s number or ball is pulled — that second person would be disqualified because they’d be within a buffer zone,” he said. “So yes, there could be some unhappy applicants. We thought very carefully, and it’s the fairest way. It’s totally at random and we’re going to use every safeguard we can to make sure it stays that way.”

While Sund said he was unable to speak on the specifics, some collective officials have gotten early word whether they have cleared the first hurdle.

“We are actually in the system,” said Matt Abrams, co-director of collective One Evol (“love” backwards). “We’re in the system and we have a lottery number.”

Abrams and his fellow directors will need the lottery number, because their location on Broadway is within 1,000 feet of the collective S.H.H. across the street.

Abrams said he and his colleagues were willing to roll the dice on keeping the collective. Application fees are between $10,000 and $30,000 depending on how big the collective is and there will be no refund for those collectives that lose the lottery.

“We had this money put away for potential problems, so basically that money came from our legal fund,” Abrams said. “The ultimate backup plan is if we don’t win, try to find another location. The problem is, the city hasn’t let us know when another application process would be.”

Once the lottery is completed, all of the new law will apply, and those collectives that lost also will have to immediately close.

“Technically, they’re all (currently) in violation (until applications are officially approved),” Mais said. “We hope that if they are illegal (either on Aug. 29 or Sept. 20) that they’d simply cease operation.”

Sund said his department, the attorney’s office and the Long Beach Police Department would work to ensure the new law was being followed.

Besides the “buffer zones” other difficulties for regulation include the need for sufficient sound-absorbing insulation, sufficient odor-absorbing ventilation and exhaust system so that odor generated inside the property is not detected outside the property, that the collective is operating without profit, and that all marijuana sold is cultivated within the city limits and that all cultivation sites are registered with the city.

Sund said his office has worked on reaching out to applicants with workshops to make sure they fill out the paperwork properly so that they can be considered.

“(The process) has been tough, but it’s being handled pretty well — but it’s definitely been difficult,” Sund said.

According to Abrams, getting through to City Hall hasn’t been so easy.

“Honestly, I feel like this is playing out pretty long,” he said. “We haven’t had a lot of communication and honestly there have been a lot of unknowns.”

Much of that mystery will be cleared away in the coming weeks, as more specific information on the collectives will become public information, Sund said.
