Looters steal $5 MILLION of products from 15 cannabis shops in the San Francisco Bay Area in a single month: One business owner insists it was ‘safer to sell on the streets illegally’

Cannabis shops across the San Francisco Bay Area have been thrown into dire straits as gangs of thieves broke into more than 15 shops throughout November during the series of ‘smash-and-grab’ robberies that are plaguing California.

Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong told reporters that ‘hundreds’ of vehicles targeted marijuana stores in Oakland last month, firing 175 shots and stealing about $5 million worth of products.

Alphonso ‘Tucky’ Blunt, owner of Blunts and Moore, told MJBizDaily that his store lost about $25,000 during a November 22 raid, where more than a dozen burglars ransacked the store.

‘I know 25 or so businesses that got hit … and out of all those, the percentage I know that told me that they may not be able to reopen is about 50 percent. That’s scary,’ Blunt said.

‘I was safer, and had more money, (selling) on the street, illegally.’

  1. It’s a WEED there should be no supply chain or distribution like a commodity . You should be able to grow it in your backyard like Cucumbers or Tomatoes. That’s how it started out. Reefer Madness the Blacks and Mexicans cultivated and consumed it and scared SOBER white faithful folk and now they are the ones wanting it for pain management and general Malaise. No one actually needs it though now with all the GREAT prescriptions to be had.
