These two brothers in their mid-20s had already made $26.3 million through June 2007 selling 'medical marijuana' at the "The Compassionate Collective".
How did the Feds know their revenue numbers? They paid all of their federal and state taxes.
"The DEA and IRS began investigating the Nortons' dispensary about a year ago. The dispensary generated sales of more than $74,000 in 2004, $1.3 million in 2005, $21.5 million in 2006 and $26.3 million through June 2007, according to the Department of Justice." That's crazy!
Classic quote from a customer...
"Adam Haselben, 21, of San Jose, said he suffers from severe headaches.
"This is the best pharmacy around. It has the highest-quality medicine at the most compassionate prices."
