BBB Owner Arrested

http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2010/feb/05/lawrence-man-charged-after-sacred-journey-investig/

It’s not yet illegal, but federal officials and local law enforcement have pulled the popular, marijuana-like substance known as K2 off the shelves at the Lawrence store Sacred Journey, 1103 Mass.

The Food and Drug Administration, along with area police, raided the store and a major distributor of the herbal mixture Thursday, leading to drug charges against a Lawrence man in Jefferson County.
Jonathan Sloan, 29, owner of Bouncing Bears Botanicals, was charged in Jefferson County District Court on Friday with eight felony drug offenses, including the unlawful manufacturing and distribution of controlled substances.

Jefferson County Attorney Caleb Stegall said Sloan was arrested after an investigation of a warehouse facility he owns in Oskaloosa, north of Lawrence. Bouncing Bears Botanicals, 14501 S. U.S. Highway 59, had supplied Sacred Journey with K2, along with other herbal products. Federal, state and local authorities seized more than $700,000 in cash from Sloan’s business and bank accounts. Numerous items, including thousands of cactus plants and 20 toads, were removed from the warehouse, according to warehouse employees and Sloan’s attorney.
The charges come one day after law enforcement seized Sacred Journey’s entire K2 supply, other “ethnobotanicals” and certain cactus plants. Authorities on scene said the FDA was in charge of the investigation, but an FDA spokesman said the agency does not publicly comment on active investigations.

 

Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

Hopefully he gets a decent defense. Now, even if it's made illegal he could walk by pressing his rights good enough.

 

Can't say I'm surprised. A local headshop around here that sells Salvia has been raided several times over the years.

 

So he was initially raided for selling a questionable unscheduled substance and they found controlled substances in the premise basically? Ouch.

 

Just another case of the DEA taking what isnt theres, fucking theives

wtf

 

shitty news man.

i really hope the synth cannabinoids are not banned in the usa until marijuana is available everywhere in the usa.

this dude wasn't out selling crack or heroin to poor people that's the U.S. Govts job... i think they need to stop being such hypocrites. we all get to suffer when the BS finally catches up to this country. yay!

 

If K2 isn't even illegal yet how the hell did they have the right to do that, and seize all the other shit? I feel SO bad for this guy, even if he wins the case which he probably will, its all gone now for him.

 

What a bunch of two bit thugs. Freaking Mobsters have more respect for citizens than these punks do...

 

shit, i thought it was BBC for half of your post

 

grim you talkin bout utopia?

 

Honestly, it was BBBs mistake. They shouldnt have been selling cannabanoids (at all, really) for human consumption. Theyre gonna get arrested under the Analog Act.

 

Damn BBB was fuckin legit..

 

Yeah, few, someone recommended them to me for MHRB, I don't think I would of been getting my order had I ordered? Lol

 

it all boils down to those shit soaked pigs...isn't there a methlab somewhere that needs to be busted?
