Seattle lawyer Aaron Pelley says Lynnwood police seized the marijuana, as well as lights and other growing equipment, during a May 2012raid. He says the patients were following the state’s medical marijuana law, and no criminal charges were filed.
Pelley and two other attorneys wrote a letter to city officials, demanding they return the items or pay nearly $1 million, the estimated value of the property. The mayor signed off on the return of the pot, and Pelley picked it up Tuesday.
Pelley says the pot is no longer good for smoking but might be used to make cannabis oil or marijuana-infused products.
