State cracks down on illegal cannabis dispensaries
State cracks down on illegal cannabis dispensaries
Several cannabis shops that were operating illegally were shut down during a two-day operation by state authorities. Christian Cazares reports for the NBC4 News at 6 p.m. on March 1, 2025.
Are you crapping me? There’s fentanyl and meth on the streets and drugs like and you’re going after pot. Please do a better job of policing drugs. Get a life actually do. Something’s going to make a dent. This is just our tax dollars being wasted. Please go after the fentanyl dealers that are killing people, not the harmless potheads
Not that I condone weed but I wonder if they are actually showing the search warrants they allegedly have.
Sorry potheads
what about skid row. shut down all those illegal drug dealers in their tents too.
I used to buy at these sketchy shops, the bad thing is most of the stuff they sell is not tested and people get sick, it’s 2025, if you’re not shopping from a legitimate shop , get with the program
the store across the street was selling better weed at a cheaper price, that’s why we never went to your "legal one" lmao
Waiting for California to crack down on illegal immigration 😊
Back door
Those will soon be replaced with flavored vape juice dealers all over. The multibillion-dollar underground vape juice industry is growing fast. Mostly kids will be vaping and adults will follow the law and not, totally opposite of what the law tried and failed to achieve.
You know the Cartels are making the money off the illegal pot
Good, I was recently poisoned by one. I had the weed tested…it had Raid bug spay on it.
Quality control ruins weed
Guns?
How about u crack down on prostitute filth morons !!!! Oh wait u pay for filth to release marriage stress I forgot 🤦
Oh it’s getting real
Because only the state should be drug dealers?
Target the Mexican drug cartels
You can only tax the weak. Its cheaper to take the $10000 fine than the get a licence.
The state wants to make sure they get their cut.
Bro across the street was like WE ALL snitched, and we’ll do it again damnit!
You know how many people I know that went to jail for a bag of weed? F*** this system.
The cartels gave them money to those type of people so they can open a cabinet club. If you didn’t know at night, you know yes the cartels work with them those people they try to open not legit cabinets club.
Neighbor shop snitched church snitched
As a budtender of Billings, Montana, I can confirm that a good share of these dispensaries are operating illegally. Some may have a license, but there’s still illegal activities going on behind closed doors. There’s a lot of fraud, tax fraud, theft, sexual harassment, racial biased, stereotyping, intimidation, slandering and defamation. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows in the cannabis industry.
I’ve been selling weed since the 90s. People would rather buy from me than to pay taxes and fees. And my shop is never closed.
Lol they are going to silence the rival owner
With strict regulations and heavy taxes people seek alternative options for supplying medicinal cannabis to patients and make a great living.
I saw this coming yeaaaaaarssss ago. The gov locks people for weed. Then it legalizes it and profits off it while still arresting certain people for weed. Now you have "legal" weed places ratting on their fellow neighbors….i HATE people who rat on others who are just trying to take care of the peoples. If someone robs that "legal" store across the street, do you think i will care? No i wont
“Medical” 😂
This is my personal opinion about this deportations. I’m glad. We had so many unwanted illegals that came during the Joe Biden. So many criminals from Venenzuela and other Latino countries. The media is feeding into the division from the people who are against mass deportations. Most illegals here that work file for taxes do get tax refunds do t believe their lies that says they do not. And some good illegals are being deported with bad ones. I believe that we need continue wit our mass deportations. Once the dust settles from that we can provide work visas to those whose employers have good things to say about them, like what great workers they are, etc. but we must only allow legal immigrants in after a heavy look at their past and their criminal past if any. Anyone who came legally will have to wait the 5 year wait period to try come in. There are few good hard working people but the last batch was the worse of their country, we should not use tax payers people money y to provide for them. No housing then in hotels no feeding g them nothing g let them come in their own dine. I’m glad about the cuts if Welfare and DBT car and 8section housing, so many women make a career out of welfare instead of just a help to stand in their own feet.
focus on Deportations not dispensaries
We’ve devolved into low vibe entitled jungle bunnies that grow marijuana indoors just to complain about power outages or fires created by them and dead firemen
Anybody that’s a cop is a bonafide bozo
When you accidentally pay $9,999.98 to the government instead of $10,000
Remember kids if Uncle Sam doesn’t get his part it’s illegal
They’ll never get them all. even the ‘legal’ stuff that gets tested doesn’t test for every pesticide that’s used.
Behind tire shop lol migrants win again
Wait until you find out the most popular weed companies in CA is funded by illegal dispensaries.
You know that all of those employees are too lazy to run.
These fuckers will find any damn reason to wage war on a plant. Meanwhile, there’s innocent women and children being trafficked, and heroin is rampant. Congratulations officers. You are worthless.
The "legal" dispensaries have much more toxins on the products most often, because they are more likely to grow in bulk and need the use of these chemicals to maintain profit. If you are not buying from an "illegal" dispensary, you are more than likely getting pesticides on your product. We need access to information and at home testing equipment, not police!
As a commercial farmer myself my hats off to these shutdowns. No need to not be licensed. The profit margin is huge.
How long did they allow the illegal dispensary to operate? Why take it down now?
Taxes taxes taxes, then when you expire Death TAX!
Remove cannabis from southgate
Just grow your own
They need to go after fake disposables. And edibles
Kinda hard to grow without water😂
Wait, the illegal dispensary was too close to the school, but there is another dispensary operating across the illegal dispensary that is licensed? Huh?
they want their taxes
