Hughson Home Raided In Marijuana Probe

[420AM&PM]

Additional search warrants were served on Thursday related to Wednesday's raid on a Modesto medical marijuana store, law enforcement officials said.

Authorities said their ongoing investigation led them to a house on Third Street in Hughson, which they said is connected to the same people involved in the California Healthcare Collective. Authorities allege the business sold marijuana to people who did not have valid doctor's recommendations.

Investigators said 1,131 marijuana plants were found inside the home in Hughson and that 100 of them were fully grown.

"With the help of the community, we are working together to stop the drug problem in our community," Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department spokesman Raj Singh said.

Two homes in Modesto were also searched Thursday by federal agents. Marijuana that was ready to sell was found in the homes, but no plants were found growing, authorities said.

If they were selling to people without a Medical Marijuan card and a Legal one at that. They should be arrested. This is the kind of thing that is being looked for by Uncle Sam. It is also a tool for the Feds to see what they need to do Legally when Marijuana does become a "State & Federal" Taxed Based commodity, and possession up to 16 ounces is allowed.

But don't be fooled by them using that as an excuse to raid legitimate places. A lot of these dispensaries take all precautions and are VERY serious about legit medical marijuana patients. However, that won't stop the police from raiding and just throwing out an excuse for doing so.

Not all places are legit, but its hard to tell.
