Nature's Wellness Collective in Orange dispensing medical marijuana again after March raid.

By EUGENE W. FIELDS


ORANGE – Less than two months after being raided by federal agents, Nature's Wellness Collective is once again dispensing marijuana for medicinal purposes.

City officials say the dispensary, which reopened Wednesday, should expect more raids in the future.

Bob Adams, owner of the dispensary on 830 E. Lincoln Ave., said Drug Enforcement Agency agents toting AK-47 automatic rifles raided the facility March 4. Adams, 44, said his marijuana was confiscated and he was detained and taken to the DEA offices in Santa Ana, where he was questioned for three hours and then released. No charges were filed against him.

"I'm not a criminal. I'm not a bad guy and I'm not a drug dealer," Adams said. "If I was going to deal drugs, I'd do it a lot differently than this."Vote here! We are already killing it, lets help!!)
