POT DISPENSERS VS. PAIR OF SWINDLERS
Two young men paid for a business license, paid their taxes and
operated a marijuana dispensary. Two older men prayed with 20 or more
families in their homes for God to help them in a desperate time of
need. In reality, they preyed on the families, stealing their homes,
leaving them in a heart-wrenching, life-changing situation.
The two young men dispensing marijuana to patients who were legally
obtaining the pot are facing a minimum of 20 years, yet the two other
men served a year and still haven't repaid any of their victims. I am
sickened to think two enterprising young men who were operating a
business they believed to be legal are facing such harsh sentences,
and two swindling swine got off so easy. Do a crime involving
everyday citizens, get a slap on the hand; but when it comes to the
feds and powerful pharmaceutical lobbyists, make no mistake, you
won't win. Why do people care what a sick person does to ease their pain?
