Sean McLawyer to the rescue! Wait until the state unleashes their $2 million seed-to-sale-to-jail RFID tracking system that they have waiting in the wings. There will be no more ambiguity, and the planned police takeover of the marijuana "legalization" movement will be complete. Regulation works!

What is funny is that mmj patients have sued and won several cases just like this. In Ft. Collins, one plaintiff used the police departments own "facts" on how much the crop was worth.

@rgillispie1 ... what's funny is how pathetically wrong you are. Name any dispensary who successfully received CASH $$ from the cops/government for any seized marijuana.

1300 plants = MANDATORY Federal Prison Sentence of 10 (ten) years for first offense !!

Solution for Colorado Springs in this ill-conceived civil action = turn the case over to the DEA / Feds for criminal prosecution. The statute of limitations is still active for Federal Criminal prosecution on this case you clueless pot clowns.

These greedy egocentric Marijuana McLawyers place their clueless clients in extreme harm and danger with their unprofessional, unethical aiding and abetting of their clients' Continual Criminal Enterprises.


And on what planet is 35 lbs of pot -- even if it was all A quality bud -- worth $3 million? ... LOL!

35 pounds X $5500 / lb = $192,500  ... NOT $3 fucking million you stupid stoners.

Stupid Stoners + Math = Epic FAIL!

First thing the City will do is demand to see the FINANCIAL RECORDS and TAXES of this dispensary -- to see if they were in fact making $3 MILLION per harvest as they claim, then prosecute them for TAX EVASION if they weren't declaring and paying on that absurdly inflated figure.


"When they ceased [sic] all of the plants and marijuana"

Stupid Stoners + Grammar = Epic FAIL!

HipTip: if your Stoner Lawyer is too stupid to spell or comprehend basic English phonemes, find another attorney.

@DonkeyHotay  I 'kinda' possess personal knowledge on the subject & the FEDS used to come down HARD on those cultivating . This usually only occurred when the state didn't pursue criminal charges . It was like 1 - 5 & 6 - 99 plants, which carried mandatory sentencing lengths .

Fortunately, both state & Fed authorities have 'calmed' in their quest for marijuana as is additionally reflected in lighter sentences for Pot convictions nation wide . As of the past ten years, it's WAY easier to plead down to a non-incarcerated sentence than it was in 1987 !

@DonkeyHotayYou fail at reading comprehension. Using DEA numbers, 600 Plants yielding one LB each @$5,000 3,000,000 + 35LBs at $5000 each = 175,000 + cost of buying from other dispensaries + lose of profit + cost of replanting + legal costs = the 3.3 mil they came up with. Seems you are the epic failure in this case.

@Anon @DonkeyHotay

The financial value of an immature plant isn't 5 grand otherwise seeds and clones would sell for thousands each.

Even a bongsucker like me knows the claim is a publicity stunt. A dangerous one at that.

Stupid Stoners are as Stupid Stoners do.

This case has the potential to win The Bartkowicz Award for self-destructive hubris.
