i managed a club for ken. he employed 12 people.all were paid good wages ,which they used to pay for food,child care, living expenses and TAXES.All are now unemployed and add them to the unemployment rate.we kept all legal documents paid for an accountant.which showed profit loss margins.everything was done as outlined as legal in the state of California.people we served were all verified as medicaly able to receive our services on a daily basis.cancer chronic pain etc.we lost patients due to our tax which we added ,but our goal was to serve the public in a legal and compasionate way.our prices were always fair and a reflection of why Ken started this in the first place.It seems dispairing that state laws such as the death penalty are respected by the feds but compassionate care for patients voted as legal by our own populace is not.lastly if you go on the web.you can see there are many clubs open and un harrassed.yet as they remain open and in full operation some are shut down.there is definitly a method to the DEA madness.or possibly just madness to the DEA.Ultimatly when an absolute power which has no one to answer to exists bad shit happens HIL HITLER.

Just a thought. The federal agencies have money to hand out to local agencies, so it behooves the local agencies to stay on the good side of the FEDS. That is what happened in this case, but tht is just my guess.

The sovereign right of states doesn’t seem to apply when the desire of its citizens runs counter to the oligarchy’s own willfull direction. Alcohol, big tobacco, pharmacrap-industry, logging industry,oil and plastics industries. Behold the mighty HEMP CANNABIS and tremble for a COOL man inhabits the White house.

MrD, if they were looking for something sinister on the warrant, wouldn’t there have been an arrest made? When there is a “smash-and-grab” DEA raid of a dispensary which follows the pattern and profile of every other DEA raid of a dispensary over the past decade, excuse me if I make some basic assumptions.

Do you know the contents of the warrant? Do you know what they were looking for when they entered the premises? You seem to assume this was a pot bust, how do you know?

You’re outraged, but how about you get all the facts first? This could be legit.

What the hell?!!

The recent Garden Grove v. Felix Kha decision held that “it is not the job of the local police to enforce the federal drug laws”.

So why’s it still happening???

By law, the feds have to enforce their own discriminatory, ineffective and destructive laws all by themselves!
