"An alleged illegal marijuana
grower reportedly showered his South of Market neighbors with coffee
shop gift cards in an apparent attempt at keeping them quiet,"
reports the San Francisco Examiner.
His plans to keep the grow secret did not work: police say the man and
three others were arrested Feb. 12 after a burglary call led officers to
a clandestine grow (is there any other kind, under prohibition?) in a
warehouse on Stillman Street.
The place reeked of pot (duh); the gift cards were evidently aimed at encouraging neighbors to hold their noses.
Of the accused grower,
one neighbor said, "He drove an Audi and wore a cheap suit."
Ouch.

Washington state House panel hears bill to tax medical cannabis sales
In Washington state, where medical pot has been voted legal, the House held a public hearing this week on a
bill that would tax medical pot dispensaries 25% on weed sales.
The measure is billed as "an effort to undermine any black market," and
is one of several pot-related proposals pending in Olympia.
