Christ's MCN is best known for its traveling "cannabis caravans" that provide a doctor's recommendation for medical marijuana for hundreds of people within a few hours. Its offices are located in the blue building on the southeast corner of Front and Orange streets that also houses other firms in the medical marijuana business.

Inside the building's hallway, a sign outside Christ's suite said Cannabis Care. Christ said Thursday that was the name of another business he'd experimented with, declining to explain further.

Members of the Missoula Police Department and the Missoula County Sheriff's Department showed up at about 10:30 a.m. Thursday and searched the offices for about three hours, Christ said.

"Part of our protocol is to expect the police and expect authorities," he said, adding that he queries new hires as to whether they feel able to deal with the stress of police breaking down a door and making employees lie on the floor.

Not, he added, that Missoula law enforcement did anything of the sort on Thursday.

"They're very kind here," he said. "I like that they're doing their job."
