"Medical" marijuana pot dispensaries have been raided in the Long Beach and Lake Forest community.

St. Patrick's Day was all about bringing in the "green" if you follow me.  But, no three leaf clover in this "mix."

According to information from the Orange County Sheriff's Department, The South Narcotics and the Special Investigations Bureau busted dispensaries as well at residences in Riverside County of suspected pot shop owners, and managers.

It wasn't a "huge" bust compared to some others conducted in the past...but this operation did bring in  handguns, cash and pot.

Approximately $200K was found at the residence in unincorporated Riverside.  $200 K in ONE house.  Gee.  How much does just ONE pot shop bring in each day?  Pot is a huge business in California.  

Here are the "highlights" of the bust and what law enforcement racked in:

• Over $200,000 in U.S. Currency
• (16) Pounds—Marijuana
• Sales records and other items of evidence relating to possible illegal marijuana sales
• (5) Handguns, including one handgun with the serial numbers removed.
• Shotgun
