Dear Stoner: Why are criminals still targeting marijuana dispensaries so much? Do they really have that much cash to take, or are they stealing the weed?

Dear Ally: Someone willing to steal a car and drive it into a storefront will probably steal anything valuable once inside, but dispensaries have fewer valuable items than most people assume. Cash is taken out of the registers, and the vast majority of product is locked up in the back after the stores close.
Most times when thieves break into a dispensary, they get little more than a few hundred dollars of refrigerated edibles and, if they’re lucky, an uprooted ATM. All it takes is one or two successful entries into the safe room or storage area to make it worthwhile, though, because ten pounds of weed or a duffel bag of rosin still go a long way even at today’s prices.
Everbloom’s two stores in Denver have been targeted multiple times, according to its owner.
