<br />31 Naked man on U.S. 34 attracts attention, cops Mike Peters /Friday, October 2, 2009 While Greeley and other cities debate medical marijuana, a bizarre case east of Greeley last weekend
<br />may fuel arguments about the issue. The incident took place last Friday near Dearfield on U.S. 34, about 30 miles east of Greeley. According to arrest reports, a naked man hit and damaged
<br />vehicles, walked over the top of one car and spit on a state trooper…..The numerous charges to be filed against Robbins include five counts of indecent exposure, assault on a police
<br />officer, driving while under the influence of marijuana, two counts of harassment and reckless driving. The incident began about 5 p.m. Friday, when Robbins was driving west on the highway
<br />and a witness reported his car was swerving into the path of oncoming vehicles, then swerving back out of the way. When Robbins stopped his car and got out, a witness said he was shirtless
<br />and his pants were down around his ankles. He pulled his pants completely off, then stood naked in the middle of the highway, cursing at passing cars and hitting some of them with his
<br />fists. This created a traffic jam, according to witnesses. Two Greeley women in their 70s and 80s later told deputies that a naked man ran at their car, jumped on the hood and broke
<br />the windows with his fists and feet, then walked over the roof, down over the trunk and ran away. Damage to the car was estimated at $1,200. When the drivers called police, the first
<br />to arrive was a Colorado State Patrol trooper, who arrested Robbins. It was then that Robbins spit in the trooper's face, according to reports. That resulted in the assault charge. Deputies
<br />who searched Robbins' car said they found 4 ounces of marijuana and a notebook containing certificates for medicinal marijuana. The notebook listed Robbins as the “caretaker” for his
<br />customers, who had prescriptions for medicinal marijuana. Deputies did not find a license for dispensing medicinal marijuana. A test of Robbins' blood at the hospital indicated he was
<br />under the influence of marijuana. He remains in the Weld County Jail with a bond set at $50,000. http://www.greeleytribune.com/article/20091002/NEWS/910029989/1002/NONE&parentprofile=1001
<br />Neb. traffic stop finds 62 pounds of marijuana The Associated Press /Monday, Oct. 05, 2009 LINCOLN, Neb. --The Nebraska State Patrol says a California man has been arrested and 62 pounds
<br />of marijuana seized after a traffic stop in Lincoln. A patrol news release says a trooper stopped an eastbound vehicle along Interstate 80 around 9 a.m. Sunday for improperly changing
<br />lanes and failing to signal. The release says the trooper smelled marijuana, and a subsequent search of the car revealed 62 pounds of it in the trunk. The search also found four pounds
<br />of hashish. The driver, 50-year-old Gerard Maddox of Los Alamitos, Calif., was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to distribute. http://www.fresnobee.com/state/story/1663152.html
<br />Alleged Fake Law-Enforcement Agents Arrested in Ariz. October 13th, 2009 PHOENIX --Four people are in custody after police responded to a call regarding yelling and screaming Monday
<br />afternoon, authorities said. Witnesses told police that a pickup truck with two men inside pulled up in front of the home near Dobbins Road and Seventh Avenue. The men identified themselves

<br />32 Police break up California-to-Austin marijuana pipeline Money, potent weed, guns seized. By Steven Kreytak /AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF /Saturday, October 24, 2009 A driver pulled over
<br />in Arizona last month with 70 pounds of high-grade marijuana helped Austin police break up a local drug-dealing ring whose members are charged with importing hundreds of pounds of pot
<br />from California to sell in Austin, according to court documents. In searches of five Austin homes that followed theArizona traffic stop, Austin police seized about $608,000 in what they
<br />say are drug profits, 94 pounds of marijuana and several firearms. And earlier this week, six men were indicted by a federal grand jury on conspiracy charges, collectively accused of
<br />possessing and intending to distribute about 220 pounds of marijuana. The men are accused of smuggling hydroponic marijuana, a potent type cultivated with water that contains dissolved
<br />nutrients. Austin police say such pot sells for about $4,000 a pound, much more than marijuana that that is conventionally grown in Mexico, which sells for about $400 a pound. Most of
<br />Austin's marijuana comes from Mexico or is cultivated locally in clandestine "grow houses," but marijuana has long been transported to Texas from the areas between San Francisco and
<br />Canada, said Paul Brick, a retired Austin narcotics detective. California leads the nation in growing marijuana, according to the National Drug Intelligence Center. It is also among
<br />13 states that allow some marijuana use for medicinal purposes. Austin police Cmdr. Sean Mannix said California is a source of Austin marijuana because medical marijuana is legal there
<br />and "there's a little less enforcement effort with regards to the grow houses." This week, the Obama administration directed U.S. attorneys in states with medical-marijuana laws not
<br />to pursue criminal cases against those users. Yet the relevant memo states, "The prosecution of commercial enterprises that unlawfully market and sell marijuana for profit continues
<br />to be an enforcement priority."……Police affidavits depict events this way: Lopez told Austin police that on Sept. 7, he and Hak Il Kim, 34, drove from Austin to San Francisco to buy
<br />marijuana. They met with another man — whom Lopez later identified as 24-year-old Phillip Ryan Farr — who had $300,000 in a suitcase and whom Kim had also hired to drive marijuana back
<br />to Austin. Lopez told police that after they bought marijuana in Fresno, Kim took a flight back to Austin, and Lopez and Farr drove in separate vehicles, each carrying marijuana…..Farr
<br />told police that Green had previously hired him to transport more than 110 pounds of marijuana from California to Austin and paid Farr $175 a pound for the transport, about $19,000……

<br />OREGON CITY, Ore. --Two men have been arrested in connection with a medical marijuana robbery at an Oregon City home…..They're accused in a robbery where a man was held at gunpoint and
<br />his three children were locked in a closet. At about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, the man heard someone knocking on his front door and proclaiming that his girlfriend had just sideswiped their
<br />vehicle, according to Oregon City police. When the man answered the door, three masked men, at least one of them armed with a handgun, rushed through the door, police said. The victim
<br />said the three men ransacked the home, demanded money and took about 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana. At one point, the victim's 12-year-old daughter witnessed her father on the floor while
<br />one of the intruders held a gun to his head, police said…..Police said one or two people remain at large in the crime. http://www.kptv.com/news/21455348/detail.html Medical-marijuana
<br />case set for trial in Lafourche Parish By Raymond Legendre /Staff Writer /Friday, October 16, 2009 THIBODAUX — A California man who says Louisiana’s marijuana laws need to be changed
<br />to accommodate medical users like him will get his day in court next March. Matthew Zugsberger, 33, is adamant about his desire to make case law in Louisiana that would allow people
<br />with serious medical
<br />33 conditions to possess marijuana with a doctor’s prescription. State Police arrested Zugsberger on June 19, 2008, for allegedly possessing more than two pounds of medical marijuana
<br />he says a California doctor prescribed him to fight pain caused by a spinal injury…..Zugsberger’s case for possession with intent to distribute marijuana will go to trial March 22, Lafourche
<br />Parish District Judge John LeBlanc announced Thursday afternoon. LeBlanc set the date after rejecting defense attorney Jerri Smitko’s request to have the case thrown out based on evidence
<br />that her client had a prescription for his drugs…..Revised Statute 40:1046 mentions the use of marijuana for therapeutic reasons by patients suffering from glaucoma, undergoing chemotherapy
<br />or having spastic quadriplegia. Prescriptions must come from a physician licensed in the state and one licensed to prescribe Schedule I substances. Zugsberger does not have one of the
<br />three conditions recognized under state law, nor does he have a prescription licensed by a Louisiana physician…… http://www.houmatoday.com/article/20091016/ARTICLES/910169914/-1/LIVING?Title=Medicalm
<br />arijuana-case-set-for-trial-in-Lafourche-Parish Two brothers arrested in drug-related home slaying By MIKE BLASKY /LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL /Oct. 16, 2009 Two Las Vegas brothers were
<br />arrested and booked on murder charges after killing a man who entered their house Thursday in a drug-related robbery attempt, Las Vegas police said today…..About 9:30 p.m. Thursday,
<br />police received a report that two residents…..had shot and killed a man trying to rob their house, said homicide Lt. Lew Roberts. Three or four possible accomplices of the dead man fled
<br />the scene, Roberts said, although the exact number of intruders has yet to be determined. When police arrived, they found one of the brothers outside smoking a cigarette. The other man
<br />was inside the home. After conducting an investigation, police determined that it probably wasn’t a random home invasion but an attempted robbery of drug dealers. “Based on what we had,
<br />we arrested the occupants,” Roberts said. “We’re still trying to track down the others involved.” Marijuana was the only drug found inside the house, he said, adding, “Sometimes that’s
<br />large enough” to incite violence. Police found the deceased suspect in the backyard of the house. Roberts said it’s too early in the investigation to determine exactly what happened
<br />during the robbery attempt, but enough evidence was available to make arrests…..Since the Saterstad brothers moved into the house about nine months ago, the neighbor said she noticed
<br />more criminal activity in the neighborhood, including attempted break-ins of her neighbor’s house, as well as her husband’s truck. People were constantly coming and going at the house,
<br />and the windows upstairs were always blacked-out, she said….. http://www.lvrj.com/news/breaking_news/Two-men-arrested-in-home-slaying-64561702.html Growth of medical-marijuana demand
<br />fuels Colorado land rush By Tom McGhee /The Denver Post /10/25/2009 Real estate brokers say that Colorado's medical-marijuana law has sparked a land rush, as entrepreneurs lured by a
<br />growing number of licensed users search for properties for growing or selling pot. In a down real estate market, landlords who might otherwise wait for more conventional tenants are
<br />snapping at the opportunity presented by medical-marijuana dispensaries, said Darrin Revious, a broker with Shames Makovsky Realty. "I am working a couple of these deals right now,"
<br />he said. "It is absolutely crazy how many of these deals are in the market. I can't believe it…..Revious said he receives at least one request per day from brokers representing people
<br />seeking property suitable for grow operations or dispensaries, where medical pot is sold to card-carrying patients. Over the past three or four months, he said, demand for the properties
<br />has soared……Laurel Alterman opened AlterMeds at the Colony Square Shopping Center in Louisville earlier this month, just before the City Council approved a moratorium on new dispensaries.
<br />Alterman abandoned her real estate business, which has done poorly recently, to open the dispensary……Alterman said she expects to earn twice as much as she made annually in real estate
<br />by selling medical marijuana. One businessman said he has been approached a number of times by
<br />34 people who wanted to rent space for a dispensary in his Colfax Avenue business. He refused. "We don't rent space," said the man, who asked that his name and business not be published
<br />because marijuana has negative connotations for many. Some Californians who wanted to open a dispensary in the area asked him what he thought his building is worth. When he said it was
<br />appraised at $850,000 they offered $750,000 in cash at closing……Concern over the mushrooming number of dispensaries is growing, and some cities and towns are studying regulations to
<br />limit them, while others have passed outright bans. State Sen. Chris Romer, D-Denver, plans to introduce a bill next year that would clarify regulations involving pot-using patients.
<br />Alterman said she wouldn't object to some regulation in the industry that could make the shops operate more like licensed pharmacies. And she sees a need for properly zoning the establishments.
<br />Tight security measures are necessary to operate the shops and grow operations, which are natural targets for thieves, she said. "Zoning laws are important," she said. "This is a business
<br />that is inappropriate for a residential area because, yes, it is dangerous." http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_13636549 Medical marijuana undercover: The rush to get high written by:
<br />Jeffrey Wolf Deborah Sherman 10/29/2009 DENVER -9Wants to Know has discovered that anyone for any reason can get a doctor's prescription to buy medical marijuana -all they have to do
<br />is say they have pain and they don't have to offer proof. "He did it for me in three minutes," a woman who didn't want to be named told 9NEWS after she got her medical marijuana card
<br />from the Medical Marijuana Doctors (MMD) clinic in Denver for $200. "The doctor's really nonchalant. He's kind of like, 'Whatever.'" An unnamed man inside the clinic said you can make
<br />up any reason and the doctor will recommend you use medical marijuana. "Don't sweat it," the unnamed man told 9Wants to Know undercover investigators…….Another patient said her husband
<br />got a card six months ago even though he has no medical condition. So, now she's getting a card. Most of the 40 patients a day who visit the clinic leave with approval for a card, according
<br />to the owner. "If you come in the clinic and you fit one of the qualifying conditions in order to receive a medical marijuana recommendation, then you're going to be able to get it,"
<br />Dr. Joel Cherdack, the director of operations for MMD, said. Doctors at the clinic are paid by a percentage of the general income, which some say is an incentive to write more prescriptions…..A
<br />businessman who works near the clinic sees groups of young men walk in and out of the clinic all day long, which scares away his own customers. Now, he wishes he'd never voted for Amendment
<br />20. "Those people are not sick. If they're sick, they're as sick as I am," Mitch Van Cleve said. "It's a disaster. If I had known then what I know now, I would never have voted 'yes'
<br />for it." In the past year, the number of people on the state's medicalmarijuana registry has has nearly tripled, according to state statistics obtained by The Denver Post. Twenty four
<br />percent of them are men under the age of 30. "What I do know anecdotally is that there's a big trend of young people seeking these medical-marijuana cards. I actually know from my own
<br />children who are in this age bracket that they have friends who have no medical malady who have gotten medical marijuana cards," Romer said…..There are more than 20,000 people holding
<br />medical marijuana cards today and the state is receiving an average of 600 new applications every day, according to Romer. "The gold rush for medical marijuana is starting to happen
<br />and we need to speak very loudly and clearly that we intend to regulate this market, we do not intend to end this market," Romer said…..The owner of MMD obtained a medical marijuana
<br />card for severe neck problems but says he doesn't smoke it very often. He believes the caregiver part of the industry needs to be regulated. "In order to be named a caregiver, I don't
<br />think anyone off the street, anybody with no medical training whatsoever, should be able to be designated as a caregiver," Cherdack said. "I think it's somewhat irresponsible and I think
<br />that should be changed to some degree." Two doctors are responsible for more than one-third of the patients on Colorado's medical-marijuana registry and five doctors account for more
<br />than 50 percent of the patients, according to stats from the state health department obtained by The Denver Post. http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=125955&catid=339

<br />a State Patrol trooper to stop a Ford Excursion in Kirkland for equipment and driving violations, the trooper found 31 pounds of marijuana on the back seat. Trooper Dan McDonald says
<br />68-year-old Byron Gilbert Pickle of California was arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana. Troopers got the tip late Thursday night. The Eastside Narcotics Task Force,
<br />which includes state troopers and officers from several nearby jurisdictions, seized the marijuana, packaged in clear plastic gallon bags, as well as $2,700 in cash and the vehicle.

<br />2, 2009 DES MOINES — The White House’s drug czar said Monday that Iowa officials should look at the problems California has seen after allowing the use of marijuana for medical purposes
<br />as they consider the idea here. Gil Kerlikowske, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, specifically cited problems regulating the clinics in the Los Angeles area that
<br />dispense medical marijuana. Kerlikowske recounted going to Venice Beach and seeing people holding signs advertising marijuana and ads in newspapers. He also pointed to reports of robberies
<br />and assaults that have occurred in and around medical marijuana dispensaries in the Los Angeles area. “I would say that the recommendation for any state that’s considering moving to
<br />medical marijuana is to look very closely at what’s been occurring in California,” Kerlikowske said. Kerlikowske, the former police chief in Seattle, reported better results for the
<br />medical marijuana law in Washington State. “It was not as significant a problem for law enforcement as it was in, as it is in, Los Angeles,” Kerlikowske said….. http://www.globegazette.com/articles/2

<br />(AP) -Should Oregon let medical marijuana users obtain concealed handgun permits? That question was before the Oregon Court of Appeals on Wednesday. Sheriffs from Washington and Jackson
<br />counties are seeking clarification on whether federal law prohibiting illegal drug users from possessing handguns applies to people who have permits to use marijuana for medical reasons.
<br />Lower courts had twice ordered the two sheriffs to give weapons permits to people who had lost them because they are medical marijuana users, and the sheriffs appealed those rulings.
<br />A Portland lawyer argued in court Wednesday that under Oregon law medical marijuana users cannot be deprived of the right to a concealed handgun permit. http://www.ktvz.com/Global/story.asp?S=1144408

<br />including multiple pounds pre-packaged for sale; twelve firearms (including assault rifles); large amount of ammunition; two ballistic vests; and, approximately $1,100 cash. Detectives
<br />also found three people inside the residence trimming marijuana for later distribution. The three people did not live at the residence and were….all from California. While detectives
<br />were at the residence, arriving in a Cadillac Escalade were the two unemployed homeowners identified as DARREN APPLEGATE, age 41, and LAUREL APPLEGATE, age 41. They were confirmed as
<br />registered growers under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) and admitted they were growing for eleven "patients."…..The legal amount of usable marijuana that can be possessed
<br />by registered growers under the OMMP for 11 patients would total 16.5 pounds. The additional over 220 pounds of marijuana seized from the residence had a conservative estimated value
<br />of $556,250…..Two of the three people were confirmed registered growers under the OMMP and they were charged in relation to that ongoing investigation. Estimated value of the seized

<br />operation were severely burned when the house exploded near Breckenridge early Sunday. A resident in the house was reportedly using butane gas to make hashish from marijuana when the
<br />house blew up about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, the Summit County Sheriff's Office said Monday. Hashish, or hash, is a highly concentrated form of cannabis extracted from a marijuana plant's resin-rich
<br />flower clusters. Emergency responders found "bloody footprints in the snow" along with the shattered remnants of blown out windows, insulation and other debris scattered around the house,
<br />sheriff's spokesman Tracy LeClair said in a statement…..The pot growing operation was deemed a legal dispensary under Colorado Amendment 20, because several medical marijuana registry
<br />cards were discovered in the home, LeClair said. Numerous marijuana plants of varying sizes were also inside. The male roommate told deputies said he believed the explosion occurred
