Federal officials begin major crackdown on marijuana operations
October 7, 2011

Federal prosecutors on Friday launched a significant crackdown on commercial marijuana operations, announcing legal action against several marijuana operations as part of a new statewide enforcement effort.

According to a statement, the action focused in part on an Orange County building "that houses eight marijuana stores and a trafficking ring that sold marijuana at its San Fernando Valley storefront, and sent marijuana to customers as far away as New York state."

Additionally, six people were charged in alleged marijuana trafficking in a operation that authorities said generated $15 million in eight months. Officials also issued warning letters to operators of 38 marijuana stores.

The announcement came after The Times reported Thursday that federal prosecutors are threatening to shut down medical marijuana dispensaries throughout California, sending letters that warn landlords to stop sales of the drug within 45 days or face the possibility that their property will be seized and they will be charged with a crime.

I will not vote for him unless this is stopped!

I also hope Occupy America takes up the issue of legalizing cannabis, because current drug war policy; is just another part of the overall corporate warfare agenda against both the people and competition from its' inception to date.

Thanks for the thread, Better Believe It.
