Screw Facebook, we’re moving to imperfect twitter.
Here’s our coverage followed by CBS, exposing Eric Arndt’s predatory business in Addison Illinois. Facebook said it was against community standards, and we can’t post for three days on our page. They also threatened to permanently unpublish WeedPress, so we’re done posting there and will be moving to twitter. We’ll link to twitter on our Facebook page. Other cannabis groups should do the same.
Check out the video from this CBS link as well. Good work CBS 2!
CBS 2 Investigates False Promises In The Medical Marijuana Industry:
CBS 2 investigative reporter Brad Edwards reports on a financial trap designed to take advantage of people seeking medical marijuana.
Edwards went to suburban Gurnee Friday, where some patients were picketing against allegedly getting ripped off by a business–Medical Cannabis Community Outreach–that claims to help people sign up for cannabis cards.
Amber Abuja told CBS 2 she experiences chronic pain after getting stabbed nine times. She said her brother intervened during the stabbing.
He saved her life, but lost his.
Abuja is seeking medical marijuana to ease both the physical and emotional pain she’s been experiencing since the stabbing 18 months ago.
Diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Abuja’s condition is on the list of the state’s qualifying conditions for a marijuana card.
Amber said she paid $400 to the business that claims to assist patients.
“They didn’t send in two-thirds of my application,” she said.
She was eventually refunded the money, but there’s a growing group of people who have logged complaints with the state.
The mission of Medical Cannabis Community outreach as defined on its website is simply to help people get a medical marijuana card.
It operates a storefront in an Addison strip mall, but no one was there on Friday.
The Illinois Department of Public Health doesn’t certify such businesses, and has logged complaints about Medical Cannabis Community Outreach.
The state also says if a third party promises they can expedite or guarantee acceptance into the cannabis program, they’re lying.
No one from the business showed up to an advertising event planned for Friday.
That article from CBS was from August 24th. Here’s WeedPress communication with the owner of the business by private message over Facebook, as well as our articles about the situation as reported to us by patient victims.
Laura Moretti’s MEDICAL CANNABIS COMMUNITY OUTREACH, LLC Incorporated 11/27/2017 | Retrieved August 18 2018 See CBS article statement, quote “The mission of Medical Cannabis Community Outreach as defined on its website is simply to help people get a medical marijuana card.” end quote. The CBS 2 article specifically does not mention Laura Moretti’s ownership. WeedPress understands Laura Moretti and Eric Arndt are a husband wife duo who have threatened to bust patient kneecaps for reporting them to the Attorney General for the State of Illinois. After the Friday advertising event had patients show up in protest, Eric’s people reportedly fled the scene without comment, which is why CBS reported no one from the business showing up to face the crowd of angry patients Friday.

Our featured image for this article was chosen to show the business of Eric Arndt also plagiarized, word for word, text from a non-profit medical advocacy organization based out of Illinois. Owners for The Medical Cannabis Community, the website that appears to have been blatantly plagiarized, did not wish to comment and remain focused on their mission of helping Illinois vulnerable in a positive manner for the betterment of the state and integrity of the medical cannabis program.
Eric Arndt, according to multiple patients, along with wife Laura Moretti, have intimidated and threatened anyone who asked for their money back or even questioned their business in any way. These people seem to be mean hearted and not in it for patients but to make a quick buck. Here’s my communication with Eric Arndt before he blocked me when I was trying to get a comment on these developing stories:
