Follow-Up: Feds Seek to Seize Home, Land of Med-Pot Grower


Not satisfied with his 500 marijuana plants and $105,000 in cash, the federal government is looking to seize the home of a California medical marijuana grower and the building in which he does business. Richard Marino doesn't actually own the building, and he has yet to be charged with any crime.

His dispensary, Capitol Compassionate Care, served about 1,000 patients near Sacramento before the raid. He points out that he was operating with a license from the city of Roseville and in compliance with California state law.

Marino tells the Sacramento Bee he even joined the local Chamber of Commerce.

"I worked my [butt] off to make this whole thing work," he told the newspaper. "I was trying to be part of the community."
