BILLINGS - A vandal struck two medical marijuana storefronts early Friday morning.

Staff at High Life Wellness Center said security cameras caught the offender in the act. The suspect can be seen on the footage spray painting the building at 2:30 a.m. Friday morning. A couple minutes earlier, the Green Cross down the street was hit.

Owner Doug Medina Sr. said this is the fourth time his business has been targeted. "It gets tiring," he said, "we do need help, we need help with this situation to stop." Medina said he believes the vandal is the same person who shot an arrow through his window during the summer of 2010. He said he never told anyone but the police and his staff about the incident.

Yes pot is a drug, but there are good reasons it is being used! FOR PAIN! Look at all the other "DRUGS" doctors have you on? talk about your children would you rather want them addicted to pain pills like half montana is? Atleast marijuana isn't addictive... HAVE you ever heard anyone overdosing on Pot?

"teaparty" is obviously higher than a kite. I'm sure all the under-the-counter sales and giveaways contributed to the tax base, teaparty, yeah right.

Whatever your opinion on MM, vandalism is a crime. And for the record, I'm guessing these two business owner contributed more to the tax base than you did last year.

OMG, what a freaking surprise, Medina. NOT. The police need to be seriously investigating Medina, with all the potshops in Billings, why is poor lil ol Medina always targeted? Hmmm.
