Wash. - Owners of a medical marijuana dispensary that was raided Thursday night say police have it all wrong.
The Snohomish County Regional Drug Task Force raided BZB Medical Group, located in a Lynnwood shopping center, seizing 15 pound of marijuana, $25,000 and a handgun.
Police say the business had more marijuana than legally allowed and was breaking the law because employees were selling pot to more than one patient at a time, often lined up at the front door.
BZB Medical Group is not a caregiver or provider of medical marijuana, but has a business license. Rather, it's a cooperative of patients who donate marijuana to each other.
Officers with the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force say shop owners are becoming bolder, finding ways to push the limits of the medical marijuana law.
Just this week, state lawmakers introduced a bill to clarify the current law, requiring the Department of Health to license marijuana dispensaries.
Prosecutors are reviewing the case to determine any charges.
