TYT: TV Anchor Turned Marijuana Activist Unfazed After Police Raids Her Club



"Anchorage police served search warrants at marijuana activist Charlo Greene's Alaska Cannabis Club after receiving reports of illegal marijuana sales.

The police took marijuana and impounded a Dodge Dakota and a Jeep Liberty on Friday, KTUU (http://bit.ly/1ARX4oU ) reported.

Greene is a former television reporter who gained notoriety when she quit her job on live TV in September with an expletive and announced she's becoming an advocate to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Alaska.” *

has a great chance of a lawsuit to get her possessions back and monetary damages caused by this.

in not backing down to this harassment! She better dot her I's and cross her T's from here on out. There better not be so much as a seed in either vehicle (unless cops planted the evidence, pardon the pun)! Good Luck to her and her organization!

In Texas, we have a 89 year old big Republican donor and organizer fighting for medical pot because her adult son says it helps with his permanent injuries from a bad car accident. Why does it always have to happen to them before they see the light on the issues they oppose?
