Hundreds of pounds of marijuana, cash, guns found in pot bust
Las Vegas police released details Thursday about a marijuana dispensary the agency shut down the day before.
Police found over 20 pounds of marijuana, 91 grams of marijuana hash, 79 grams of candy made from THC — marijuana’s active ingredient — over 260 pounds of marijuana edibles, 82 pounds of THC extract, 53 guns, 2 firearm suppressors and over $13,000 in cash at Super Budz, 1901 S. Highland Ave., near West Wyoming Avenue and South Industrial Road.
Seven people were arrested, including owner Christopher McDermott, 36. He faces multiple felony charges including drug trafficking and possession, Metro said Wednesday. Six of McDermott’s delivery drivers also face charges in connection with the pot business. Chavez said that they all had significant amounts of drugs on them, which included edibles and other marijuana products.
Super Budz is listed on multiple websites as a medical dispensary providing home deliveries. The main site, according to a release from Las Vegas police, was www.weedmap.com.
Metro officers had been ordering marijuana from the dispensary for several months, the agency said, and none of the undercover officers have medical marijuana prescription cards.
