Note that Cheech and Chong pulled this caper off in front of no less than five security cameras -- which they also proceeded to try to tear to pieces on their way out the door. Here's the report.

On 12.6.10 I was working uniformed patrol in a fully marked SPD patrol car
as 3J31.  At 2235 hours I responded to a ROBBERY call at the "   
 " - 4   N 36 St  .  This is a medicinal marijuana
dispensary.    is alarmed with A.D.T. and has at no less than
(5) surveillance cameras inside & outside the business.  The robbery
 occurred nearly (2) hours prior to my arrival, so the suspects were not in
the area.
When I arrived, I spoke to V/  , who was the on-duty clerk at
the time of the robbery. I also spoke with   - the   
of  .  He assisted with the surveillance video.    told
me the following:
On 12.6.10 between 1800 - 1900 hours, the (2) B/M suspects entered the
dispensary and asked to see some product.    showed the suspects
several different types of marijuana.  They expressed interest and told
  they would be back after visiting an ATM for cash.  The dispensary
was very busy with several customers in the waiting area.
At ~2005 hours, the (2) B/M suspects returned to the  .  They
 were the only people in the waiting room.  Again, they asked   if
they could buy some marijuana.  After viewing several products over several
minutes,   turned to the store room to retrieve marijuana for the
suspects.  At some point, one of the SUSPECTS locked the door to the
waiting room, preventing other customers from entering.
As   turned around to retrieve the marijuana, SUSPECT #1 (S1) jumped
through the small opening between the waiting room & the office area.
  & (S1) engaged in a struggle, and S1 grabbed   in a bear
hug.
At this point, SUSPECT #2 (S2) jumped through the same opening and punched
  in the face several times with a closed fist.    told me he

tried to deploy mace, but he didn't know how to work the device.    
also tried to push the A.D.T. "duress" button, but it was not in the normal
 location.
After being punched in the face several times,   became compliant
and sat in a chair, for fear of retaliation.    told me that
suspects never displayed a handgun or weapon, but they said something like
"TRY TO GRAB A GUN - I'LL GET YOU BACK!"
S2 stole an unknown amount of medicinal marijuana and transported it back
through the window to the waiting area.  S2 is seen on camera coming back
through the small opening between the waiting area & the office.  During
the robbery, the suspects stole a Hewlett-Packard laptop, thinking it
contained the hard-drive for the surveillance system.  (   
 ).  The suspects also disable several of the
cameras by ripping the cords from the cameras.
 Both suspects fled the area in an unknown direction by unknown means.
  declined to give a written statement and told me he did not call
9-1-1 because  .  He suffered a
large contusion to his right eye - it was swollen completely shut as I
spoke to him (medics declined).
I spoke briefly with   to determine how much marijuana was stolen.  He
estimated between 10-12lbs, packaged in vacuum sealed bags. The bags are
marked with different "strains" (W. Shark, Diesel , etc).  These markings
are written by hand.    told me that he recognized both SUSPECTS and
would look through his paperwork to find their ID & Medicinal Marijuana
Cards.    told me both suspects are known customers.
  told me he would learn how to save the surveillance video to a disc.
I gave him a business card with my name, serial #, and the case #.
