DEA Raids Holistic Solutions in Clearlake, San Mateo, Richmond

Dear Bay Area medical cannabis community,

It appears that the DEA is in full swing. They have targeted Holistic Solutions, and
several homes and locations in the Oakland have been hit. It is unclear if these
raids are related.

722 Columbus also owned by Mr. Estes is closed, but there have been no reports of
DEA activity at this specific location.

More to come.

In Solidarity,

DEA Raids Holistic Solutions in Clearlake, San Mateo, Richmond

May 28th - The DEA raided three dispensaries operated by Ken Estes this morning.
Known as Holistic Solutions, they were located in San Mateo, Richmond, and
Clearlake. The DEA also raided Ken's home and the homes of three of his managers,
plus three affiliated grow sites in Oakland, San Leandro, and Humboldt. The raids
appear to have been a "smash and grab" operation; agents took cash and product, but
didn't arrest anyone. Ken believes that the raids were initiated on the tip of a
former associate who was facing a lengthy federal sentence on cultivation charges.
KTVU News is investigating.
