Fresh Concerns Over Medical Marijuana Following Violence In Washington
First a man was thrashed by some persons who were trying to steal marijuana plants from his property. He died of the injuries. Then a prominent medical marijuana activist shot an armed man who is accused of breaking into his home in a suburban area near Seattle where the activist grows and distributes marijuana plants. The intruder is said to be in a critical condition. He and four others have since been arrested.
Steve Sarich, the activist, runs a group called CannaCare out of his house. He suffered minor wounds from a shotgun blast fired by the intruder.
Even before he was robbed on Monday, Mr. Sarich had complained that the police were not doing enough to protect him, claiming there was a previous robbery attempt in January too.
But Sgt.John Urquhart of the King County Sheriffs Department, reacted impatiently, remarking, Any person making medical marijuana is going to be a target because they have a valuable commodity.
Police are also unhappy with the man as they had found 385 plants in his house after the shooting. Sarich himself has claimed that he and his girlfriend are authorized to have up to 50 plants each but they had less than 100 plants in the house they shared.
The police confiscated everything over and above what the prosecutor believes is legal, Sgt Urquhart said and added, Mr. Sarich had baked goods with marijuana in them, frozen goods with marijuana in them, chocolate goods with marijuana in them He had green butter, which we believe is laced with marijuana. As we interpret state law, he was not in compliance.

Going only half way with the MJ legalization issue, MMJ, causes issues like this where 'legal' MMJ growers become a victim of non-patient users and authorities as well. I'm betting that the right is counting on this to create a 'I told you so' situation. Full legalization is the only answer to making MJ a non-issue completely. Though you may say that alcohol is legal but is still a problem, MJ is not chemically addictive, doesn't impair your abilities beyond self control, and isn't harmful to your health [vaporized]. It's therapeutic and helps to fight cancerous tumors and other ailments usually treated by legal pharma drugs far worse and addictive than anything a street dealer will sell you. Stop being influenced by 50's era refer madness propaganda and start fighting for our civil liberties and human rights. Everybody should have the right to happiness and nobody should have the right to take it away. How dare someone tell me I can not partake of what nature offers, aren't we all nature.
