Maconha medicinal: DEA confisca maconha medicinal apreendida pela polícia de Seattle

O Estado de Washington tem uma lei sobre a maconha medicinal e a Cidade de Seattle um decreto-lei que torna os delitos de maconha a menor prioridade da força pública, mas isso não impediu a polícia de Seattle de realizar uma operação contra a Lifevine, uma cooperativa de maconha medicinal, há duas semanas, apreendendo centenas de prontuários e 344 gramas de brotos secos e vários quilogramas de folhas.

Na esteira de críticas mordazes, o promotor Dan Satterberg da Comarca de King se negou a denunciar na Justiça Martin Martínez, administrador da cooperativa, e ordenou a devolução dos prontuários. Mas, a polícia não devolver a propriedade roubada da cooperativa – a maconha medicinal.

Agora ficou evidente que nunca vão devolver a maconha medicinal. Na quarta-feira a Polícia de Seattle anunciou que a DEA, a pedido de Jeff Sullivan, procurador dos EUA, pegou o remédio na sexta-feira passada.

A DEA confirmou secamente que apreendera o medicamento. “Como de praxe, a DEA confiscou e processou a maconha para destruição; isso encerra esta questão”, disse Jodie Underwood, porta-voz da agência, em uma declaração informada pela Associated Press.
