(Newser) – Turns out one medical marijuana dispensary in Los Angeles wasn't so chill. A police raid of the place netted 9 kilos of cocaine, oxycodone, an AK-47 assault rifle and other guns, and 300 pot plants, according to authorities. An investigation of the White Oak Healing Center was launched last year after a fatal shooting at the center that looked like an "organied-crime-style hit," police told the Los Angeles Times. Six people have been busted for allegedly operating a drug ring between LA and Cleveland.

Scum bags like that make it harder for people who really need those pot dispensaries.

Those people just gave eric holder and others another reason to get rid of pot shops.

Cocaine (powder form) is more over-hyped than marijuana.
