Tahoe Man Celebrates Cop's Drug Bust, Cops Then Raid His Marijuana ...
SF Weekly (blog) - Jun 3, 2015
As for the raid, it's not yet known what sheriff's deputies were looking for or exactly what they seized. Henry Wykowski, the dispensary's attorney, told SF Weekly on Tuesday that the search warrant has yet to be released, and that deputies have only said that a ...

My Letter to Editor is hard to find online. Here it is
You’d think the sheriff would be
on my side
I'm a violent sex crime victim
suffering now decades later with PTSD. A lot of people who went through my
experience are dead now because they commit suicide or develop illnesses one
develops from a continuous onslaught on the nervous system.
I was lucky enough to live in San Francisco in 1995 when MedMJ was already legal within the city, so I learned that marijuana goes directly to the part of
the brain and body affected by my PTSD and relieved it. So I worked hard with thousands of other people to get the law changed and
expect law enforcement to be there protecting me and supporting me.
But with the closure of Tahoe
Wellness Center Monday, and El Dorado County sheriff seizing all the
medication, I now no longer have safe and legal access to my medication.
Oh I can go to any of the illegal
sources I've already found in less than six months living in Tahoe without even looking, those guys even
charge less, but I'm a law abiding citizen, and prefer to know where my
medicine is coming from, prefer to get the strain that works best on my
symptoms, and prefer that the money I spend each money is not going to some
kind of criminal enterprise.
Which makes me wonder, what could
be the motivation for the sheriff to close down a medical marijuana dispensary
that has been open for six years without issues?
Where did the medicine go?
The thing I loved the most when
marijuana first became legal in San Francisco was that SFPD stood outside the
dispensaries To Protect Us. For a
sheriff to seize medical marijuana and make it unavailable to sick people is so
troglodyte that I'm surprised to see it happen anywhere in California, but
especially in South Lake Tahoe.
Veterans organizations are
working to get medical marijuana covered as a treatment for PTSD, people like
me need that medicine or we have triggers, we have horrible physical
problems.
How dare the sheriff of El Dorado
County Sheriff interfere with my medical treatment in this way.
(Edited some, not my best LTE, it was dashed off in a spate of rage returning home after schlepping IN PAIN to Wellness and finding they had no Sativa. It's the Sativa strain that helps my PTSD, prevents triggers from happening. Highly recommended.)
I don't know if the letter ran in the print edition, as after going all the way to the Wellness Center and back and returning without any Sativa, I am crippled in pain at home next two days.
Thanks, Sheriff.
