OLYMPIA, WA — Federal agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency raided four medical marijuana dispensaries in Washington on Wednesday, where voters have approved both the medical use of marijuana by authorized patients, as well as the recreational use of marijuana by adults 21 or older.
The raids appear to have been the result of a two year investigation by the DEA, and a continuation of a paramilitary crackdown on medical cannabis providers that began in 2011.
But what was the cost to taxpayers, who are unknowingly financing a federal government crackdown that defies the will of voters?
Wednesday’s raid on the four dispensaries in Washington may have cost an upwards of $12.3 million, according to analysts from Americans for Safe Access, a national patient rights organization.

SEATTLE, WA — For three days in August, hundreds of thousands of people will descend on Myrtle Edwards and Centennial Parks on Seattle’s waterfront for the 22nd annual Hempfest, traditionally the largest annual gathering of pro-cannabis supporters in the world. But following last year’s historic passage of Initiative 502, which legalized the adult possession of marijuana in the state, this year’s Hempfest is promises one thing that the previous 21 were not: a victory celebration.
What started out as a “humble gathering of stoners” in 1991, conceived during a peace vigil in opposition of the first Gulf War and attracting a crowd of about 500 people has grown to a world-renown 3 day “protestival” celebrating human rights, equality, freedom, and of course, cannabis.
Spanning 1.3 miles, two public parks, six stages, more than 300 vendors and staffed by over 1,000 volunteers, Hempfest isn’t just the largest annual pro-pot rally in the world — it is also one of the largest special events in the State of Washington. With a Special Events permit requiring a $1 million insurance policy, emergency evacuation plans, safety and security personnel, Hempfest is not a “pot party in the park,” it is a bona-fide political rally who’s organizers work closely with city officials to ensure a successful — and peaceful — annual tradition.
SEATTLE, WA — While John Denver put the notion of a Rocky Mountain High to a tune, Seattle’s Jet City Tours is singing a whole new song when it comes to mountain highs. The company released its upcoming season of tours on Monday, all of which feature sampling the state’s largest cash crop, marijuana.
In 2012, Washington voters legalized the recreational use of marijuana which has created an entirely new legal industry in the State. Jet City Tours provides guests with a safe, sane, and legal experience as they visit iconic sites around the city while legally sampling from a variety of different marijuana strains including indica, sativa, and hybrid blends.
Very similar to popular wine tours operating in the State for years, Jet City Tours uses limo busses for their guests which feature a separate compartment for the driver, allowing them enjoy beer, wine, and sample from high quality cannabis crops while underway. Christine Castillo heads up the tour desk at Jet City Tours and is very excited about the coming tour season. “The majority of our guests are professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, entertainers. Good people looking for fun and adventure on vacation who just happen to like smoking good crops”, she said.
Jet City offers a variety of tours ranging from the city of Seattle and its inspiring locations like the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and the Waterfront to mountain tour. . . . . READ MORE
