Grand jury indicts Spokane medical marijuana dispensers

The owners of two medical marijuana dispensaries in Spokane have been indicted by a federal grand jury.
Federal Grand jury
The charges are the latest in an escalating effort by federal authorities to rein in marijuana sales in states where voters have approved its medical use. Federal
authorities warned medical marijuana providers in the Spokane area in early April that they planned to enforce federal drug laws if the shops did not close immediately.
Dispensaries across the county, including THC Pharmacy and Medical Herb Providers, were raided three weeks later.
Shop owners were operating under the assumption that they were complying with state law, and that federal authorities weren’t interested in dispensaries, said Frank Cikutovich, who specializes in marijuana cases.
“I think I’m more shocked than surprised,� Cikutovich said.
The raids “solved the problem…that one big weekend got rid of all the dispensaries and sent a message to everyone,� he continued. “I just don’t see the need to put more people in prison for 5, 10, 15 years for producing medicine.�
None of the suspects, who have not been arrested, could be reached for comment. Cikutovich is not officially working on any
of the cases but has stayed in regular contact with members of the medical marijuana community.
“They’ve all just been laying low hoping this day wouldn’t come,� Cikutovich said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Rice, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, declined comment.
Also indicted on Wednesday was Russell Thomas Blake, who is accused of growing more than 100 marijuana plants at his property at 3942 F. Garden Spot Road near Loon Lake. Federal authorities searched the property on April 28. Blake also is charged with distribution of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute marijuana for incidents on April 20 and April 21.
Blake also is charged with maintaining a drug-involved premise, which carries up to 20 years in prison.
Wright and Vivian face the same penalty if found guilty of maintaining a drug-involved premise near a school. THC Pharmacy was located at 1108 S. Perry – which is less than
1,000 feet from Grant Elementary School.
Wright and Vivian are also charged with distribution of marijuana near a school, possession with intent to distribute marijuana near a school, manufacture of marijuana near a school. Each charge carries not less than a year and no more than 10 years.
Laberdee and Whited are charged with distribution of marijuana, which carries up to five years in prison; manufacture of marijuana, which carries 5 to 40 years; and maintaining a drug-involved premise.
The five defendants also face a forfeiture charge that calls for them to forfeit any property or proceeds derived from their illegal operations.
Cikutovich said the penalties could increase once federal authorities calculate the amount of marijuana allegedly sold and possessed.
He expects federal officials to use business records seized from the dispensaries to quantify how much marijuana was
sold.
