knbber2: Anything to get the focus off of Fast & Furious I guess.

Yep. Expecting Corpus to come in here and spin this.

You are the change you were waiting for.

This isnt the sort of change i voted for, quite the opposite.

/obama would make a great used car salesman

The optimist in me wonders if this is setting the stage for a Rep. from CA to introduce federal legislation legalizing marijuana.

C'mon Democrats, tell me that I have to vote for Obama because the other choices are too scary.

Fark that shiat.

Obama's jobs programs: Bust up medical marijuana dispensaries.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

So... still going to mock the "Tenthers"? You know, the ones who'd be just fine with this?

Darth_Lukecash: I'm sure we would actually take a big chunk out of Organize Crime by legalizing Pot and Prostitution.

it would for pot, but it would do nothing for child prostitution.

Weaver95: Letters sent this week to targeted dispensaries in San Diego, San Francisco, Marin and elsewhere warn that California's medical marijuana law is no protection against property seizure or prosecution under federal law.

good luck enforcing those letter. there's what? over 150 dispensaries in that area? maybe more. I'll bet its a lot of ground to cover. And the feds will have to cover that ground without state or local help. even if the feds do manage to somehow organize a massive effort to seize over 150 odd dispensaries, they have a massive problem with jurisdiction. They can expect to get bogged down in a territorial pissing match.


Unless Governor Moonbeam kisses ass.

Obama is starting to piss ME off.

Are they enforcing the law because they need the assets or has Obama made a deal with the Republicans in order to get something else?

Is it just me, or does the article seem to say the Fed is going after dispensaries that break the law. Like ones that done pay taxes, keep irregular books, profiteering, etc.

The feds print money. They can fly out 4 large airplanes full of unfriendly guys in dark suits from DC and take them all out within an hour if they want.

*don't pay taxes

\\goddamn pizza grease fingers

I hate "tough on crime" election year bullshiat.

knbber2: Anything to get the focus off of Fast & Furious I guess.

These two things are not mutually exclusive.

How fast could this get to the SCOTUS if Governor Moonbeam decided to go to court?

The pessimist in me sees the totalitarian bent in the Feds.

Great way for the Obama administration to prove they have their priorities in order.

Let's spend ton's of dough busting and incarcerating pot dealers. Collecting tax revenues from legalized cannibus simply makes way too much sense.

the real protest begins

I hope everyone involved with sending those letters and making this decision dies in a fire.

Well, enjoy being a 1-term president.

I've been watching Ken Burns' "Prohibition" series on PBS, so I'm gettin' a kick. Amazing how nobody learns from history... probably because they don't require anyone but history majors to study it.

The folks at the IRS can pin shiat like that on anyone.

Anyone.

Whoa dude. Let me get this straight. The 'makes it's own rules' DOJ wants to close down marijuana dispensaries? But not fast Freddies, right? That dude has some awesome shiat. Oh wait, I think he's safe. Cause like his place needs a special knock to get in, after you've maneuvered your way past all the snakes and spiders and vicious attack dogs.

/Wow heroin is some awessss, oh wait Marijuana, yea right, marijuana is what we is typing about. The herb that doesn't hurt anyone but the Pharmaceutical industries profits.
//What was that about g.w. Bush snorting cocaine off of some dead hookers butt and using his 'cheer-leading' as a cover to make it only look like he was gay and that he didn't do hard drugs at all.?

State's Rights?

/Don't know what you got 'til it's gone

We're in a recession and they're trying to take away tax revenue? Are they stupid?

Darth_Lukecash: Until the FDA Big Pharma approves Mary Jane for medical use-the point is moot.

fixed

yea me to, i was thinking last night this is going to happen again

It's for our own good. All of it is.

So much for #OccupyLos Angeles

TFA:she warned San Diego's Ocean Beach Wellness Centers and Oasis Herbal Center marijuana stores that federal law trumps state law and "it is not a defense...that the dispensary is providing marijuana."

No, I don't think it seems remotely like that.They are going after people that sell pot for selling pot on the exact grounds by which Obama had stated they would NOT prosecute at a federal level.

Communist_Manifesto: shiat like this makes me wish obama had been caught with drugs. He openly admits having used weed and coke, yet if he got caught with either of those substances he would have went to jail (black guy with drugs is pretty much an automatic go to jail free card). Given he wouldn't be president if he had gotten caught, you would think he would get a farking clue.

Oh, he'd still be president. You would have still voted for him, just like the guilty white folks and the 'Free Mumia' crowd.
