If only crime was illegal in Washington.
Well Styrofoam is now illegal so that should protect everyone......
Only 10k?! the insurance company the real crook here
Shop should stop paying their taxes to the state
If only you weren't dropped so much on da head.
The feds would attack us. They need their cut or they shut down the operation. The Federal Mob
This is an unacceptable….. do your job policeman.😮
I agree that the ridiculous laws preventing non-cash payments sb ended. However it looks to me as if these thieves are quite happy carting off product. I think ultimately store will have to be hardened to the degree that they resemble pillboxes.
There wasn't this problem before cannabis went I-501 full recreational.
I worked at a dispensary until it was closed in 2016 to make way for all the 21+ recreational shops to open for the government's tax graft.
It was the best job I ever had.
Wish I could have that nostalgia of a job in that field of expertise 😌😏
@@pharoahzeus The irony of the dispensary was it was formerly a sheriff substation, making it the cop shop pot shop. One customer had a flashback and told me the layout, where the mugshots were taken and so forth.
I worked at a rec place. Great job. Nothing too heavy to lift. A box full is still just ounces
They should receive the same protection that any other cash based or any business for that matter receives. When you start a business you are aware of the risks you take on. I don't like seeing them get robbed but they know they are a target. Get better security is what other businesses are being told.
ALL brick-and-mortar businesses should have laws against robbers. What about the restaurants and other businesses that are having stolen cars crash into them again and again?
Hahah....but pot isnt connected to crimes they say...
People steal everything and anything
Law makers were all over it when they heard there'd be a ton of revenue from the taxation of weed but if resolving worker's safety issues isn't profitable, they've got better things to do...for some reason.
Because they are still getting paid taxes every month, even though these businesses are being robbed blind, a true shame taxation without representation or protection in Arizona, robbing, a dispensary or a cannabis facility is no different than robbing a bank you’re gonna meet the full force of the law
@@smilenowcrylater713 You didn’t put any periods anywhere and didn’t use commas correctly, so idk what you’re trying to say. No offense to you, but are you saying:
“it’s a shame in Arizona …”
or
“It’s a shame. In Arizona …”
The first one shames Arizona, the second one says it’s a shame here in Washington, but in Arizona it’s handled differently. I’m assuming it’s the first, but I’m genuinely curious
@@jonanddy Anyone with a logically thinking brain can easily understand what they are saying. One simply thinks about the subject being discussed. Then deduces he’s talking about being taxed out the azz by the government but not being protected by them is a shame.
@@SavageFrenchies Like I said, I’m assuming Arizona is bad too, but I’m simply pointing out the importance of commas when writing a sentence
I thought this said CANNIBALS lmao (No, I'm not smoking it 😂)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@User69805 🤣
No more THC testing in the state of Washington. Federal illegal needed. Protect the vulnerable !! We need a better mayor !!!
Plead for protection? Wtf? Invest in some security like any other business.
Pleading for services that already exist. And you think the state or fed has your best interest at heart, lol. Nope they just have your money in their pocket, that's the only connection you got.
Join the crowd we all want protection your nothing special
I live in Missouri and I can use my credit card to by pot
Placing guards outside the building places the guards at high risk and greatly limits their ability to protect the buildings and themselves. Place guards inside these buildings improves security and puts the guards at the advantage. They’re not observable nor be approachable unless a person begins breaking into the facility. One clear intent is made the response level to choose from is far greater.
You want a secure building contact me. I haven’t touched the stuff in years and no desire to do so again. Should be plenty of cameras inside & outside to provide a secure facility and materials.
What is this about an attempted b0mbing and the kidnapping of a security guard.
Also odd they’re saying the reason these places are targeted is because they store a lot of cash, but in the videos it looks like people just grabbing product from off the walls.
The cash is in the safe this is literally brain dead fake news.
Sorry but this is the piece and love you wanted. All the pots shop owners and employees I guarantee supported defund the police.
More than likely
I’m a professional grower and before that was black market for 19’yrs. I’ve even been arrested for legally growing as a caregiver in Washington when it first became medical. I’m all for supporting cops. Then again I’m not a we shouldn’t arrest criminals we should apologize for not allowing them to commit crimes because arresting criminals is racist liberal. I left Washington before it turned super pro crime liberal snowflake and into a literal 💩 hole. Like they actually have an app in Seattle where just like you can mark the location of an accident on google maps. People can enter the location of human 💩 on the sidewalks. It then alerts you when you are approaching it so you don’t step in it.
ARMED employees while open. ARMED security onsite, when closed. Solved it for you. RCW 9.41.300 sec. 11, 1(d) makes it legal.
If you wanna partake in street activities, don’t be surprised when the streets come to you
Liberal - Progressive policies ENABLE this!! Change your voting!! You can’t have it both ways. 🤷🏼♂️🤔
Maybe they should be open 24 hour with gun protection
Happy 420
Cities should NOT be offering ANY type of assistance including the response of law enforcement. Law enforcement agencies operate with 'federal funding' and it is still against federal law to sell marijuana. They are open to losing all federal funding doing just such.
"Let's go Washington" needs to put this back on the ballot. It's caused a ton of problems that far outweigh the tax revenue. Legal weed just isn't worth the trouble,
Cant they ptt a wall or more poles in the way at least for the car ramming crap. Spikes too would work.
They did. Criminals stole and used a truck or wrapped a chain around them and pulled them out in a recent pot shop robbery. A wall won't help when they can wrap a chain around it and tear it down or storm the store with guns like you saw in the video.
Hore an armed guard
Sure,that means higher prices and many can't afford it.
Reporter is giving misinformation and this information about the lawfulness or legal sense of cannabis cannabis information is legible in closed caption in an educational film from the department of intelligence United States Navy for school and for the New York City Police department graduation full credit honor the United States Navy does not support false information or supports information about arrests for cannabis and has no comment on the mentally ill who are provided false information about the illegal and unlawful policy of alcoholism that they maintain and maintaining information and advantages
How about stop selling that stuff. It causes memory loss. You'll read this comment again later.
It doesn’t cause memory loss, but it does temporarily affect it. Like drinking, heavy use of it will negatively affect it over the long term.
Lol no it doesn't but ok square ⬜
Been smoking weed since the 90s. Never even had a parking ticket in my life. Never been arrested or even suspected of a crime. I've lived the research so stick that in your pipe and smoke it
Stop crying
Is it too late to make it illegal again?
Well, what did you expect when your product caters to criminals?
That goes for ANY product. Criminals will steal from anything and rob anyone. You make it,they steal it.
@@superhyrulean Certain items are in higher demand than others.
look at these bozos, yall trick or treatin'? 🤣 Brokes stay broke.
Every day is fricking Halloween 🎃 on the streets,pal.
LOL ,😂😂😊
PAY SOMEONE YOU TRUST TO STAY IN THE BUSINESS OVER NIGHT WITH A GUN, AND WHEN THEY BREAK IN AND SEE A GUN POINTED AT THEM, NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN THEY WILL RUN.
I will never get sympathy for alcohol, weed,and pharmaceutical that cause addictions
lmfao you are delusional if you think weed falls into the addiction category
Lololol 😆😆😆😆 you're fckn delusional
@@Anthony-vh6ef right a plant you pick and smoke so evil 🙈🙈🙈😂 😂
Anything can be a addiction. The key is moderation. Balance what you do.
@superhyrulean yeah! as imperfect humans we have moderation 😂😂
Hire me I got you they think twice for sure lol
I know myself and five other good guys that are good to go.
This is NOT a legitimate business for normal, law abiding citizens in the first place. But, all you cannabis new that from the very beginning, right?
It is a legitimate business for Law Abiding Citizens, that's why they made legal laws for it... right! 😂
Shut up
These pot shops need to put trackers hidden in the product or hire security guards 24hrs a day ,for the price of a guards to protect the shops, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to do the MATH,!!!!@@
