Montana\'s first registered medical marijuana caregiver has just died in prison. He was serving a five-year prison sentence for running a marijuana dispensary in Montana.
Montana legalized medical marijuana back in 2004. But that didn't stop the feds from raiding his dispensary last year. Way to go, President Obama.
Richard Flor died in a Las Vegas Bureau of Prisons medical facility on Wednesday.
Flor, 68, was just a few months into a five-year prison sentence for running a Billings, Montana marijuana dispensary with his wife and son. Flor also co-owned Montana Cannabis, one of the largest medical marijuana dispensaries in the state, and which was the subject of a March, 2011 federal raid. Montana legalized medical cannabis in 2004, but that doesn't matter under federal law.
Flor's wife got two years in prison for bookkeeping, and his son got five years for running the Billings dispensary. These were pleas entered and settled before the Department of Justice (DOJ) could make sure that medical marijuana went unmentioned in the court room....
Prepare yourself to be disgusted, and read the whole thing.
Onward and upward,
airforce
