Man who threatened Rockville cannabis dispensary headed to federal prison


A Seattle man who police say phoned in homicidal threats to a Rockville cannabis dispensary on September 11, 2021, has been sentenced to two years in federal prison. Joey George, 37, admitted calling multiple businesses nationwide and threatening to kill African-American and Latino people. He made the admission as part of a plea agreement in the case of his telephone threats to the Tops Market in Buffalo two months after a mass shooting took place there. 

George's threatening calls to the unidentified Rockville marijuana dispensary caused the business to temporarily close and hire security. The dispensary owners estimated their financial loss to be more than $50,000, the United States Department of Justice said in a statement. George has agreed to make financial restitution to the dispensary, and to the other businesses that he threatened around the country.

    1. Medical marijuana is not bad. People placing judgements upon people without being properly educated about what they are talking about is bad. Medical marijuana assists many people in more than one way. Pain, emotional discomfort, eye relief for glaucoma patients ECT. Go back to school anonymous and learn a thing or two

    2. Medical Marijuana may have some benefits for cancer patients or people with chronic pain issues, it's the people who are not educated enough to understand that it should not be used as a recreational drug because it is very harmful to your lungs and destroys your brain cells. It has a lot of other downsides also. But yes,people who are terminally ill can get benefits from it.

  3. Lots of things that are bad for you are legal, like cigarettes and alcohol. It's obvious you smoke weed.

  4. It's tiresome to smell the strong odor of marijuana when entering many MoCo neighborhoods in the evening.
