150 lbs of Medicine for 18-yr-olds With Headaches!

Anyone able to make it to the Claremont city council meeting on the pot shop issue? We want to hear your version of what happened.

Meanwhile, in West Covina, Alison Hewitt tells us that police busted an illegally operating "medicinal" distribution center, "confiscating more than 150 pounds of [medicine] and more than $10,000 [cash, I presume]." Oddly enough, at the time of the bust police found "a dozen 18-19 year olds...all in perfect health, complaining of migraines." Afterwards, "[a] hand-written sign on the door of the dispensary Monday read 'Closed for Good.' A 20-year-old who said he had a prescription for arthritis stood at the door after reading the sign." No, really? I'm shocked! But if my memory serves, we were just talking about these issues, weren't we?

Honestly, this whole "issue" cracks me up. The emperor wears no clothes. Consider that "[the tables were also covered in a wide variety of pot-laced food, such as lollipops, brownies with multi-colored sprinkles, beribboned bon bons, peanut butter, jelly, sodas, hot sauce, chocolate syrup, peppermint patties and bottles of 'Mother's Finest Medicinal Cannabis' and 'That Time of the Month Potion.' Mint patties, lollipops and "Reefer's" peanut butter cups appeared to be the cheapest items at $10 each, while some of the larger bags of marijuana were priced at $540."

Sounds like a veritable pharmacy, doesn't it? Except, the opposite...

Medical Marijuana going to Pot?

I am sickened over this recent raid in West Covina simply for the fact that West Covina should allow it since the West Covina Mayors brother Dave Touhey has two illegal unlicensed medical marijuana dispensaries in Pomona and Diamond Bar "Farm Assist Caregivers". The city attorney for West Covina is the same attorney for Pomona,I've heard.

Claremont is discussing a complete ban on dispensaries after Touheys partner Darrell Kruse opened in Claremont to stop any competition to their Pomona location. The plan worked according to the Claremont Courier a moratorium banning any dispensaries was enacted. Tonight they move to establish a permanent Ban on dispensaries.

There has been numerous closures in San Gabriel Valley including Alhambra, Bassett,Covina,Claremont,Hacienda Heights,San Dimas and now West Covina. Patients need their medicine and should not be limited to where to get it. West Hollywood, which allows Medical Marijuana is a far commute for most patients and it is very costly considering gas prices. Compassionate caregivers should be allowed to open in these cities after all the State of California voted for it.
There has never been 1 death or overdose from mariujuana. The only bad side effects would be increased appetite or a little sleepy. The FDA says marijuana has no medicinal value yet they approve a synthetic form of marijuana.

I hate authors who right these articles like this one....Young healthy and so on when not one of you are medical Doctors and have absolutely know business in others Medical conditions...If these were facts the story would be about Doctors and not who is hanging around the MMJ Dispensary..
You ignore the facts to promote this story and create Bullshit...Legalize Cannabis and stop this madness..

"Dave Touhey has two illegal unlicensed medical marijuana dispensaries in Pomona and Diamond Bar "Farm Assist Caregivers"." I'd have to say this is the most ridiculous comment I have read on the internet in along time. Next time you decide to slander a medical marijuana activist you should at least have the decency of leaving your name. I hope that the people who stumble upon these posts have the sense to do some research. For one "activist" to slander another tells me this must just be a bitter and greedy rival. Perhaps a dispensary owner himself? West Covina? :)

I think Farm Assist Sucks are too expensive and are ripping us patients off. I rather drive 50 miles to get decent meds and better prices. $75.00 an 1/8th days are over straight greed! activist my ass. Whoever speaks highly of farm assist is related to the Touheys like the Mayor of West Covina.Can you say Corrupt!

Dave Touhey is a good man who runs an honest business that helps a lot of people. I just wish the same could be said of the ignorant haters who are trying to take him down.

End Marijuana Prohibition!
