Chris Goodwin and Erin Goodwin, owners of Good Weeds Lounge, are charged with two counts possession for the purpose of trafficking, relating to marijuana and cannabis resin, plus possession of the proceeds of crime. Erin Goodwin is also charged with simple possession. The investigation was sparked by "community complaints," Const. Caroline de Kloet told Metro. The raid happened Thursday. On Jan. 12, VICE published an interview in which Chris Goodwin said Good Weeds is different than other dispensaries that have popped up because it doesn't require customers to have a medical marijuana license. The reporter also asks Goodwin if he's afraid of being shut down. "I have been doing this a long time and I have complete confidence in what we're doing. I've thought this through endlessly," he said. - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
