A
raid
on a store in San Isidro, province of Buenos Aires, ended with the closure and seizure of a
mega-nursery
after General Inspection officers found that the company had
more than a thousand cannabis plants without authorization.
Security, General Inspection and Public Space Personnel of the municipality of San Isidro carried out the raid on a house located in Pirovano, between Gutiérrez and Estrada, in Martínez. There, they dismantled a
company nursery that was intended for growing cannabis
of different species with a high concentration of THC.
The project, located in a residential area, operated
without the corresponding permits
and had been the subject of complaints from neighbors, according to municipal sources. After two months of investigation, the authorities decided to intervene and dismantle the nursery, where there were more than a thousand marijuana plants.
However, what was initially presented as a search procedure ended up being a closure and confiscation action. Company representatives
questioned the procedure
and reported that they left more than 100 users without medicine.
"Cannabis NGO. At Superfly we grow and produce cannabis with the highest quality standards. The safest, legal and healthiest way to access your medicine," is how Superfly Cannabis Club presents itself on its website.
They dismantled the mega nursery of a cannabis company in San Isidro.
Juan Palomino, lawyer for Superfly Cannabis Club, reported that police and municipal personnel entered the home without a valid search warrant, without police presence or witnesses, and proceeded to abruptly remove all the plants.
Palomino expressed his indignation at what he considers an unfair attack on the work of the NGO and its patients. According to his statements, the Municipality's action
left 150 people without access to their medicine : "Today they came very angry, they threatened us, they told us they were going to throw everything away, they destroyed the work of years," he told
ABCDiario
.
.
He also reported that the seizure was carried out ruthlessly, using a garbage truck to transport the plants. He considered it a lack of respect for the organization's years of work.
For its part, the municipality insisted that the premises operated irregularly and did not have authorization. "We are going to be
implacable
with all those who do not comply with the law," said
Ramón Lanús
, mayor of San Isidro.
And he concluded: "The commitment we assume to work together with the judicial authorities and other forces allows us to bring peace of mind and security to the residents of San Sidrez."
