West Metro Drug Task Force seizes pot worth $1 million - The Denver Post

The West Metro Drug Task Force made two arrests this week — including an owner of a medical marijuana dispensary — and seized about 175 pounds of marijuana worth about $1 million.The task force began investigating, with assistance from the Denver Police Department, in November after law enforcement learned that one of the men was involved in illegal sales of high-grade marijuana.The men — Dimitry Genzer, 30, owner of Cannabis and Co., and Joseph Daniel Alejo, 28 — were booked this week under suspicion of distribution of marijuana in excess of 100 pounds, and conspiracy to distribute marijuana in excess of 100 pounds. Both charges are class 3 felonies.During the arrest, task force members found about 150 pounds of high-grade marijuana.


A subsequent search of a storage locker in Lakewood produced another 23 pounds.Genzer posted a $25,000 bond on Thursday, and Alejo posted a $75,000 bond the same day.Their next court date is scheduled for Dec. 14 at 10 a.m.The State of Colorado's Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division is investigating Cannabis and Co. and further actions against the dispensary are pending.

175 pounds???.... Good Looooord that's a LOT of bud....

What I find incredible is that distribution of any amount of a harmless substance like mj is a class 3 felony. Are you shitting me?

Thats a Life sentence! Not 7 years then get out.... Were talkin' FOREVER AFTER! Thats crazy as hell. To know that your gonna be jailed for a plant. If he broke the local laws,and went from Compasionate Caregiver,to Drug Dealer? Then Nuff said!That would be one of the reasons Feds are cracking down on all the dispenseries.. Corruption,One Bad Apple so to speak!

Ga.

Since when is 150 pound worth a million ??????

Even if the plant is 8 inches tall... They value it a 1000 per plant.. In what world? If your a caregiver,then it's worth nothing to you until it;s finished buds! Then maybe a value can be in order..

Ga.

$5800 a pound! Who knew prices got so high overnight.

@GaGrown, we don't believe that this is a sign of a larger action.

As the story indicated (25 pounds in a storage locker?), this operation wasn't exactly above the board

something tells me they were high when all this occurred

As the story indicated (25 pounds in a storage locker?)

that's where they were curing that good stuff...

Since police math came on the scene.

173 lbs at maybe 2100 [with volume discount] works to $363k. Now if you price it all up by the gram, you can make it a million providing that you include the cost of a bazillion baggies.
