The FBI Raids the Home and Offices of the Virginia State Senator Pro Tempore Louise Lucas on Suspicions of Corruption

Were there any signs she might be involved in crime or corruption? Well, she owns a string of pot dispensaries.

Oh, and she's a black female Democrat with a triple layer of Anti-Accountability Armor.

So no, no signs at all.

Selling legalized weed -- which she campaigned for and voted for as a senator -- wasn't enough.

The NYT:

"Two people familiar with the case said the search was related to an investigation opened during the Biden administration that has continued, examining possible corruption and bribery related to marijuana dispensary businesses."

I wonder if JackStraw knows her. He enjoys the Wacky Weed so he is probably best friends with the so-called "420 Grandma." All these Potties have each other on speed-dial.

Speed dial more like weed dial, amirite

A report from Tony Sergura:

FBI agents--armed with multiple federal search warrants signed by a judge--are raiding the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas, the Democratic powerhouse, first Black woman in that role, Finance Committee chair, and architect of the state's aggressive 10-1 redistricting map. Federal sources tie it to a major corruption investigation. The warrants extend next door... to the Cannabis Outlet she co-owns--the very dispensary this self-proclaimed "420 Grandma" championed while co-sponsoring legalization and blurring the lines between legislator and cannabis entrepreneur.
Lucas, a close ally of CIA plant Gov. Abigail Spanberger and a force in Virginia politics since 1992, once dismissed U.S. Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner as "cucks in the corner" while engineering her party's electoral firewall. Irony doesn't get more poetic. Power's intoxicating brew--redistricting dominance, business interests in cannabis (with past reports of mislabeled high-THC products), and care facilities--now meets the cold scrutiny of federal law enforcement.

"Care facilities"? Oh no-- isn't that Democrats' favorite vehicle for pillaging the public funds?

And indeed, not only does this illicit drug dealer own pot stores, she also runs a facility for the mentally retarded.

And she just happens to be in charge of regulating her own easily-abused business.

And, get this, she proposed and then voted for a special payment bump for her own business.

But Lucas presents the Senate with an issue. The close alignment of her private business and her public obligations and authorities raises issues of public perception and Senate integrity.
For 28 years, she has operated a business, Lucas Lodge LLC, that provides Medicaid-funded services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
She serves and has served for years on two committees that are completely intertwined with her business:

The Senate Committee on Education and Healthcare (since 1994) oversees the regulator of her business, the Department of Behavioral Health and Disability Services (DBHDS), and the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS), also known as Virginia Medicaid, and writes the laws with which Lucas Lodge must comply.

The Senate Committee on Finance and Appropriations (since 2008 ), of which she is now chair, funds the operations of both agencies and Virginia Medicaid, which, as indicated earlier, pays Lucas Lodge for services.
The situation remains, at best, awkward for the Senate. It just got worse.
This year, Sen. Lucas is the patron of the Senate Budget Bill (SB-30), which amended the baseline budget submitted by Gov. Youngkin. Item 291 #4s in that bill, Developmental Disability Waiver Rates for Selected Services, will specifically increase Lucas Lodge's Medicaid payments above the baseline. Sen. Lucas's budget bill passed her committee and the Senate floor.
SB 30 will be the starting point for the Senate in the upcoming Special Session negotiations that she will lead.
We'll see what happens.

Although people are talking mostly about her pot business, I bet the more serious corruption charges will involve pilfering Medicaid money. It's the Democrats' main business at this point.

Update:

she also runs a facility for the mentally retarded.
Yep. The VA Senate.

Update: Politico is a joke. Their senior politics editor immediately accused people reporting the story of faking this weirdo's photo and falsely claiming she was a top ally of Spanberger.

She is obviously a top ally of Spanberger, and the photo comes from the Virginia Senate's own website:

As far as the photo is concerned, it seems entirely reasonable to take one straight from her Senate web page: https://t.co/1WH9Y58evR pic.twitter.com/25pTVwuxI5

This is the same network that cheered every Trump indictment that is now clutching pearls over a Democrat facing a years-long corruption probe.

The best part about it is, none of it fixes a damn thing. It only covers up the malady. The pain may go away, but it's temporary. You'll have to deal with it again, later.

125 I despise the "public servants" preying on the public by allowing state-run gambling and state-regulated weed, let alone decriminalized hard drugs (which Oregon also briefly experimented with). At best, the Oregon Lottery is a sadistic innumeracy tax, funding inflated school administration by failing kids in the classroom; but really, gambling addiction destroys families, and a hotline doesn't cut it. And we really had a good thing going with "medical marijuana."

It was perfect. You had to jump through hoops, and there was stigma; so even though realistically any dedicated weed enthusiast could get his "weed card" from the anxiety and depression caused by weed deprivation, that wasn't something that Becky and John in the suburbs did.

So, the "lifestyle" potheads got customized strains from concierge growers, which kept them away from the polymorphic criminality of street dealers looking to grow business by adulterating their product with something more addictive, or by getting their customers turning tricks (or both). Nice hippy chicks not otherwise good at business found productive work as medical weed growers. And no one else got sucked in.

The dirty little secret is that the majority of "legal" weed sold in legal pot stores is ... illegal.

Most of the product sold in legal stores was shipped in under the radar from California. No taxes, no regulations, just a straight-up drug deal.

Has the opposite effect on me. I'm more sensitive to every stimuli when stoned so when I had inguinal hernia surgery in 2020, I went a month without using. OTOH, the -done stopped me up (as opioids do) which is not a good thing when you just had a mesh implanted down there but the trade off for pain relief (and it was pain) was worth it.

Virtually anything that has a measurable pharmacological effect is going to be useful for SOMETHING.

Like any vice (and it is a vice), it can be relatively harmless or incredibly destructive. Where's the threshold that takes it from occasional to compulsive? I suspect, because it's essentially unregulated, that for pot, it's lower than for alcohol. That's based on no evidence at all, by the way.

And who does the effect of a destructive vice fall on hardest? The poor. That's why the Democrats don't really care about the poor. Because they push policies destructive to them.

273 It's not edibles or smoking pot, but I did buy something called GABA from Amazon which is supposed to promote relaxation.

I smoke on rare occasions, and beyond a hit or two it flat out kicks my ass.
But--I'm 50 years older, too.

Seriously, the days when a bag of plain old pre-paraquat Mexcian cost $15 were the days when young people COULD smoke a lot and still get to class, do their work and laundry, have a part time job, and so on.
But some young people today not only smoke ultra engineered purplefuzzed gold-bleeding-bud whammy, they need a support group the size of the planet just to halfway function.

There has to be a nexus between the job and the drug policy. You can’t just arbitrarily test everyone - if it’s safety sensitive, you have to define that and most likely your admin staff isn’t going to fall under that umbrella. Security clearance work is something all together different.
