Drug Enforcement Administration agents arrested four people at a medical marijuana dispensary in Orange on Tuesday and seized about eight pounds of marijuana and $10,000 in cash, a DEA spokeswoman said today.
The agents raided Nature's Wellness Collective on Lincoln Avenue as part of an investigation into marijuana trafficking, DEA Agent Sarah Pullen said.
Arrested in the raid were: Eric Voudrie, Scott Taylor, Karris Day and Robert Adams. All four were released, pending possible prosecution by the U.S. attorney's office, Pullen said.
California voters approved an initiative in 1996 that made it lawful for individuals with prescriptions to use marijuana for medical purposes. Marijuana possession and sales are still unlawful under federal law, Pullen said.
