I saw this on the news last night. Daryl told the pigs he had a special license that allowed him to grow 1 pound of pot for every 5 pounds of food he grew to be given to poor people. I've been intimately involved in MMJ in San Diego, and I've never heard of any such cockamamie license. I'm the last person to believe the lying pigs though. The San Diego ordinance allows every patient to possess 1 pound, so I don't know what this is about.

I met Daryl last year at a Cannabis "Professionals" Association meeting, and that group has recently said that they are working with the City Attorney's office to snitch on the unlicensed dispensaries, so maybe they ratted him out.

#7 on the standard dispensaries. says you allow them to grow and transport under your name I think if you glance at the health and safety code a bit more, it also says no more then 2 patients per parcel.

I see quite a few of these combo grow/dispensaries and always questioned how the legal it is, since even though they are two addresses, they are no doubt tied together. as in this instance, he didn't go to jail. yet. they arrested the 22 year old kid on site.

dispensaries, in CA are out of control literally, they are getting robbed by criminals and the police, at one point in the east county there is a total 9 sites within a mile. some of them have product that is obviously not grown in CA, but poor to shitty stock brought up from Mexico "free half-ounce FTP" and I honestly don't know if Id start a fire with it.

it just needs to be legal in CA, when I heard the police say technically by law you cant rob a dispensaries unless you take the money, since the product on site is not really owned by anyone. and that when you hand over money YOU can be charged with a crime: health and safety code about food handing and trafficking unregulated agriculture. kind like they guy selling oranges on the side of the freeway gets a ticket.

in retro-spec I think one of the dumbest things I ever did was register under 215

Just to clarify some of the misinformation, here are the facts.

Darryl Cotton owns the property. He leased the front of the building to a dispensary. The City sues Cotton under a violation of Land Use Regulations that state the dispensary is in violation of zoning codes because there is no Conditional Use Permit. The tenant is not named in the suit because the City does not have that information. Cotton reviews the lawsuit and learns that his property was rezoned on January 14, 2016. That this was done unilaterally without due process and notification. That prior to January 14, 2016 his property had been in a zone that would have allowed a MMCC type business. This is information stated within the complaint. The City seeks a Temporary Restraining Order to keep Cotton off of the property and to compel him to tell them the identity of the Tenant. Cotton goes into court and fights the TRO on the grounds that as a landlord he is not a policeman to his tenants activities. Furthermore if he had been policing the Tenants activities he would not have had an issue with an MMCC business since the property was located in a zone accepting of a MMCC business at the time the lease was signed. The judge agreed with this argument and denied the TRO. The City Attorney was really really upset by this ruling and 10 days later the property is raided by 30 members of the DART team. DART did a thorough site review and determined that the plant counts were within the 96 plant limits set forth on the 3 active licenses that were posted on the lobby wall adjacent to a site map that showed where the plants were located and the number of plants in each area. Nonetheless the DART team was under orders to kill every cannabis plant on site and that included mothers and clones. Had there been a criminal violation of any laws arrests would have been made. No arrests were made of any of the Inda-Gro personnel at the time and to date no charges have been filed by the District Attorney. A security guard for the dispensary was arrested because he did not have a license for his firearm and there was what was believed to be cocaine on the floor of his car. The guard was released with those charges dropped when it was determined that the substance was not cocaine and the gun was registered to the owner of the security company that the guard worked for. The matter remains in civil litigation.

Cotton never said he had a 151 license. That was how one of the 5 news crews that interviewed Cotton immediately after the raid mistakenly described the operation and how one of them misunderstood what Cotton was telling them as to how the site was licensed to operate. What Cotton did tell them is that this is a 151 Farm which grows 1 pound of cannabis to 5 pounds of food for 1 community. These are a type of CSA (aquaponic) garden that uses cannabis to help pay for the traditional crops grown and donated to charity. In this case all the food goes to Father Joe's located here in San Diego. You can learn more about 151 Farming @ http://www.inda-gro.com/IG/sites/default/files/pdf/151 Farmers.pdf
