Richard Lee, Oaksterdam University founder who paved the way for legal weed, dies at 62
When it opened in 2007 as a cannabis-focused trade school, Oaksterdam University in uptown Oakland had all the attractions of a major college campus. There were two coffeehouses in funky little storefronts, a gift shop offering logoed sweat shirts, a student union, a university museum, a bike rental and glass-blowing shop — and a founding president, Richard Lee, who was as eager as an incoming freshman. Lee, who had used a wheelchair since suffering a spinal cord injury during his prior occupation as a roadie for Aerosmith, was the perfect ambassador for medical marijuana, which he required to ease chronic pain. He also had the right combination of erudition, determination, a self-effacing sense of humor, and the boyish good looks — complete with bangs — to be the face of the nationwide drive to legalize marijuana. 'The university is a political institution. Its mission is to legitimize the business and work to change the law to make cannabis legal,' he told the Chronicle in 2008, in an interview for an innovators column called 'Bright Ideas.' Lee's mission is still not fully accomplished, but Oaksterdam is still at the forefront. He retired in 2012 after four federal agencies raided both his apartment on Lake Merritt and his office at Oaksterdam, confiscating everything but the furniture. He was never charged, and the university quickly reopened, but Lee said he had become a target for law enforcement and felt that both he and the university would be continuously harassed. Eventually he moved home to care for his aging mother in Houston. He died July 27 at a hospital there, according to Oaksterdam Chancellor Dale Sky Jones. Cause of death was metastasized cancer that had gone undetected and spread throughout his abdomen, Jones said. Lee was 62. 'Richard's courage to fight when it wasn't easy, when it wasn't safe, and when few others dared, led to a domino effect of change that we are still witnessing today,' said Jones. 'He didn't wait for the system to catch up. He worked relentlessly to make it right.' Lee was already an Oakland operator, with two coffee houses that served as marijuana dispensaries and a pot growing business on the side, when he hit on the idea to open a school that taught aspirants what he'd learned on the ground. The light-bulb moment came from a sign that read 'Cannabis College,' which he had seen at the Hash, Marihuana and Hemp Museum in Amsterdam. 'I'd seen in California that there were not enough good people who want to work in the cannabis industry in a professional way, who want to pay taxes and obey regulations and help improve their community,' he later told the Chronicle. 'I came back from Amsterdam and the idea just popped into the back of my head and I had to think back later to where I saw it.' He had the idea but not the name, which he cribbed from the nickname for the Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative, for which he was a cannabis supplier. Oaksterdam U. offered its first classes on Nov. 10, 2007, with 22 students. Soon enough classes were selling out, with students coming from as far away as California and New York to pay $150 in tuition to study the politics, history, civics, legality and science of the marijuana industry. You had to pass those before you could even learn how to grow it. 'We taught you what you needed to know before we taught you what you wanted to know,' said Jones. The school was behind on rent and behind on its enrollment goals when the federal raid happened and Lee stepped down. Since then it has turned around. As of 2025, more than 100,000 students from 116 countries have earned Oaksterdam certification in specific programs dedicated to the business of cannabis, the horticulture of cannabis, extraction, manufacturing. Oaksterdam has trained officials with the California Tax and Fee Administration, and multiple state, local and county regulators of the cannabis industry, a $57 billion business nationwide. 'If you enjoy any level of legal cannabis, Richard and Oaksterdam have touched your life, whether you know it or not,' Jones said. 'The most dangerous thing about smoking weed was always getting caught with it, and that's mostly over, thanks largely to Richard.' Richard Feib Lee was born Oct. 7, 1962, in Houston, where he grew up. He was the fourth of five brothers born to Ann and Robert Lee, a legal textbook salesman who ultimately opened a membership library for accountants and lawyers. Lee attended St. Thomas More Parochial School and St. Thomas High School in Houston, where he was a member of the class of 1981. Richard was part of the drama crowd, and though he got small parts he was drawn to the production side. He was interested in attending clown school and joining a circus, and went so far as to teach himself to ride a unicycle and put on a clown outfit to ride in the downtown parade on Thanksgiving Day. He also considered becoming a commercial pilot, but instead he enrolled at the University of Houston, where he majored in communication but did not graduate. Instead he got a job at LD Systems to install lighting systems for concerts. 'He was a lighting technician and he loved it,' said his brother Don. 'He used to say he was a 'truss monkey' climbing up on the scaffolding above the stage.' While in rehearsal, before a 1990 Aerosmith tour of Europe, Lee fell on his back and 'smashed his spine,' Don said. 'He became a paraplegic with ongoing pain issues.' He was 28 and was prescribed medication to control the spastic movements in his legs. The prescribed medicine made him sick. 'That's when he really focused on marijuana as a medicine,' said Don, a retired lobbyist in Austin. He became the owner of Legal Marijuana - The Hemp Store in inner city Houston. A formative movement came one night when he and a friend went to get takeout food and he was the subject of a carjacking. He'd left his wheelchair at home planning to order at the takeout window, and the carjackers left him on the asphalt, where Houston police found him. 'I'm sitting there on the pavement for 45 minutes, and when I asked them for a ride home, they said, 'What do we look like, a taxi company?'' he told the Chronicle. 'That's what really made me mad. I blame the laws against cannabis for the lack of police protection. They're looking for people like me smoking a joint instead of the violent predators and sociopaths out there.' After that, Lee expanded his outlaw growing operation and developed a steady customer at the Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative. Rather than take the risk of moving the product across state lines, he moved himself to Oakland in 1997, to join in the growing number of marijuana-related businesses that formed Oaksterdam. In 1999, he opened Bulldog Coffee Shop, which operated on the Amsterdam model of selling coffee in front and cannabis in back. He also started an illicit growing operation, which he called Richard Lee Farms, in a warehouse with hydroponics and grow lights. 'What he was doing was forming a community and an industry,' said his brother. 'He didn't want to be in the shadows, in a black market. He wanted to grow it out in the open, fully engaged in society.' In 2003, Lee opened a second coffee house/dispensary called Coffeeshop Blue Sky. With its proceeds he funded the Oakland Civil Liberties Alliance, a PAC he formed to lobby for passage of Measure Z, an Oakland proposition that made enforcement of marijuana laws the lowest priority for law enforcement. It was approved by voters in 2004. Lee also became publisher of Oaksterdam News, a newsletter that came out quarterly from 2005 to 2007. All of these operations were small compared to Oaksterdam U, a for-profit institution that grew to occupy 40,000 square feet at 1600 Broadway. Lee entered statewide politics as the main industry proponent of California Proposition 19, the first attempt in the U.S. to legalize marijuana for adults, in 2010. It failed but led to the passage of state Senate Bill 1449, which reduced possession of up to an ounce of non-medical marijuana from a criminal misdemeanor to an infraction. Then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed it into law effective Jan. 1, 2011. Lee later said his activism at the forefront of the drive to decriminalize marijuana is what led to the raid on his home and his business by a combined force representing the Internal Revenue Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Marshals Service, on April 2, 2012. School computers, laptops and student records amounting to 85 boxes were confiscated and not returned until a year later. Lee's personal and business bank accounts were seized. 'They broke him, at that point,' said Jones, who replaced him as the head of Oaksterdam. 'They separated him from his business and purpose. The feds did what they wanted to do, they shut him up and they shut him down.' Bulldog Coffee Shop closed before the raid and Coffeeshop Blue Sky closed immediately after. The university was wobbly, too, and ended up moving to a smaller campus on Telegraph Avenue and made a comeback without Lee, as a not for profit educational and training institution, with an online component. His last major act was to enlist his parents, conservative Christians, who co-founded Republicans Against Marijuana Prohibition (RAMP) as a lobbying group intent on reducing or eliminating marijuana laws nationwide. There are also more than 100,000 Oaksterdam graduates carrying on the mission of legalizing marijuana in the U.S. and freeing 40,000 people who are in jails and prisons under marijuana convictions. Some 200,000 people were arrested for marijuana possession in 2023, according to data released by the FBI and cited by the Last Prisoner Project. "While the war isn't over," he said, on the day he retired, in 2012 "we have an army to fight it with."

CDC gives inside look of damage from shooting
Staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave perspective from inside headquarters on the frightening day when a shooter opened fire. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Jeff Williams, CDC director of security, showed Channel 2's Michael Doudna the shattered windows and glass that went flying as employees took cover Aug. 8. There is still damage, reminders left from the day nearly two weeks ago. The shooter was at the nearby CVS when he aimed at the CDC and fired hundreds of rounds. 'He found a location where he had a good visual of CDC facilities and potentially CDC staff,' Williams said. The blast-resistant glass, installed after the Oklahoma City bombings, helped prevent more extensive damage. First responders went floor by floor, marking doors as clear to ensure everyone was safe. People can see what they did in the aftermath of the shooting, busting down the doors, going room to room. Mona Patel, who has since returned to the office, noted the difficulty of seeing broken glass on colleagues' desks. 'I think we're resilient. I believe we're here to support one another,' Patel expressed, highlighting the community's strength. Repairs are currently underway at the guard house, with similar repairs expected for all six buildings that were hit. DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose was killed when he responded to the active shooter call. His public memorial service is scheduled for Friday. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

‘Asked for her mom:' First responders testify about treating teens killed in crash with ex-trooper
On the second day of testimony in the trial of a former state trooper charged with vehicular homicide, first responders described how they attended to the four injured teenagers at the crash scene. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Two of those teens, 17-year-old Kylie Lindsey and 16-year-old Isabella Chichilla, died in the hospital. The crash happened along U.S. 27 in Carroll County in September 2015. Investigators say the trooper, Andrew 'A.J.' Scott, was driving up to 90 mph at night without lights and sirens. The cruiser crashed into the teens' Nissan Sentra. John McCorsley was a Bremen firefighter who responded and treated one of the teens who did not survive. He testified that he placed her neck in a brace and tried to keep her stable and calm. 'I was treating her as if it was a head injury because she kept repeating that she wanted to call her mom, wanted to call her mom,' he said. Marcus Shanks is a Carrollton firefighter who was in the ambulance with Lindsey. 'She told me her first name and she asked for her mom,' he said.

'I do remember talking to him on the way to the hospital,' she said. 'He was starting to ask questions. Was everyone OK? Are my friends OK? At the time, I told him I didn't know because I truly didn't.' The prosecution showed photographs of the crash scene where beer containers and liquor bottles could be seen in and around the teens' car. Investigators testified that despite the presence of alcohol, there was insufficient evidence to charge the driver with driving under the influence. Scott, the defendant, was fired from the Georgia State Patrol after the crash and went on to become the mayor of Buchanan, in Haralson County, where he's still in office. He's charged with two counts of second-degree vehicular homicide, reckless driving and speeding. He could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted. This is the second time Scott is being tried for the case. A judge declared a mistrial in 2019, saying the prosecution withheld evidence. The DeKalb County District Attorney's Office is now prosecuting the case. Testimony is expected to resume on Friday. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter] Play Farm Merge Valley
