Dumpster diving at the MJ Testing lab

You might think from all the hysteria that the cops found dead bodies or radioactive waste in a dumpster that is used by the marijuana testing lab on Speen Street. Evidently, an officer ( the same officer who has been suing the Town for years over a decision to re-assign the officer to another duty. This same officer used to be the DEA go-between and part of the regional drug task force. He is one of the biggest troublemakers and has cost the Town hundred's of thousands of dollars in legal expenses.) who was driving by the building saw a car in the parking lot near a dumpster and ascertained that the car must be involved with a crime... so the officer checked the car for occupants... and using his superior detective skills decided to search the dumpster for evidence of a crime. The company is supposed to render any tested products useless and it's unclear if there was any real usable marijuana left in those test tubes. It almost sounds like the officer had some info on the dumpster contents and it would not shock me to know, he is using this stunt to make a point to the management at FPD. I also wonder if he needed a search warrant. And to add to all of this hysteria, at last nights council meting, all the reefer madness club member's had their say about how tragic this discovery of useless test tubes in a dumpster was. The very best, nominated for a golden globe award is our favorite prohibitionist Ms. Grove who compared the dumpster find to General Chemical.



FRAMINGHAM — City officials are asking the state Cannabis Control Commission to investigate a local marijuana testing laboratory where local police allegedly found hundreds of vials with marijuana residue discarded in a dumpster outside the business.
Mayor Yvonne Spicer on Monday penned a letter to Commission Chairman Steven J. Hoffman detailing what she described as a violation of the state’s cannabis regulations by MCR Labs, located at 85 Speen St.
According to a police report, Officer Matthew Gutwill saw an unoccupied vehicle parked near dumpsters in the rear of the business on Sunday at around 9:30 p.m. He searched the area, then looked inside the dumpsters and found “hundreds of glass vials containing what appeared to be extracted marijuana or THC,” according to a police report.
Gutwill also opened white and black plastic bags in the dumpster and found they contained hundreds more vials with “similar brown, sticky liquid.” Gutwill removed 10 bags of evidence, and conducted a field test on one of the vials, receiving a positive result for the presence of THC.
The dumpsters are not locked, nor are they stored inside a chained or locked area, leaving them “open to any person going into (them) in search of cans, bottles, metals and marijuana products,” the police report reads.
