NBA: Jeremy Lin?s Lawyers Go After Shop Selling ?Linsanity? Marijuana

Posted by Sabrina B.?@gametimegirl

Warning to marijuana shops selling Linsanity weed: Your buzzkill has arrived.

Jeremy Lin?s legal team has sent a flurry of cease-and-desist letters to medical marijuana dispensaries offering ?Linsanity? brand pot, and a few shops have already complied, a lawyer for the New York Knicks star told The Huffington Post on Wednesday.

?Their enthusiasm for Jeremy Lin got ahead of their understanding of the law,? said Pamela Deese of the Washington, D.C., firm Arent Fox.

Although Deese would not name the companies, HuffPost found at least three California dispensaries that have stopped their doobie-ous enterprise.

The owner of 420 Specialists of Moreno Valley confirmed that he had received the notice and deleted Linsanity from the menu a week and a half ago. ?They also wanted me to write a letter of apology,? Josh Leibowitz said Thursday, adding that he hasn?t done so yet.

Gourmet Green Room of West Los Angeles would only say that it had?replaced Linsanity with Insanity.

L.A. Confidential Caregivers?in Hollywood, which was listed in a Marijuana.com post about?Linsanity sellers, seems to have removed Linsanity from its menu as well. We reached out to L.A. Confidential Thursday morning, and we?ll provide an update if it responds.

Word of Linsanity reefer madness spread when rappers?Rick Ross and Stalley tweeted?in early March aboutLinsanity OG cannabis, providing photos. As the jar in one photo indicated, Linsanity OG was priced at $60 for an eighth of an ounce.

That was back when Linsanity, the popular label for Lin?s rise from benchwarmer to star, had apparently already peaked. But now that the Knicks have won five straight as of Thursday, with Lin as the?fourth-quarter hero?in Wednesday?s victory, companies might be looking to cash in again.

There were an estimated 1,000 state-legalized pot shops in California before a recentfederal crackdown. Five or six are violating Lin?s rights, according to the NBA player?s attorney. ?We?ve identified those entities,? said Deese, who also wouldn?t share their names.
