http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-04-02/oaksterdam-marijuana-school-in-california-raided-by-u-s-1-.html Now, Abandon, I am not an Obama hater, but this bust was on a very legal, very proper and long established member of the business community. I'm surprised you didn't know about it.

Abandon, I thought we settled this in a different thread?

This was while I was asking for anecdotal evidence still, thank you for helping me find it. Still, only big dispensaries and large scale grows are being targetted, but yes, indeed, they are, despite the Holder memo double talk promise not to enforce federal law on them. Any evidence that patients and caregivers are being busted for growing? Any docs being busted for prescribing? I'm not denying that they are going after dispensaries, I'm not even going to say how I feel about it since you already know, shit, I'm not even asking for any new anecdotes. I'm just saying, I have only seen anecdotes that dispensaries are being busted, so that is the only thing that should be reported, anecdotal or not, all the anecdotes add up to all the truth and only dispensaries are being shut down.
Look at the message this sends, take care of yourselves, grow it for yourself and keep it out of the public. If they were as fascist as some people want to make them out to be, this site would have been shut down long ago. They are slowly accepting us potheads back into society, quit whining IMO. The message being sent is clear, the states may allow you to grow cannabis for yourself if you need it, or have someone grow it for you if you can't, but no cannabis industry. This is as legal as it has been in my life thus far. Take it or leave it, Ron Paul isn't going to be president.

Are dispensary owners and managers serving any time when they get shut down?

Well, there is that Canadian guy, Emery?, who is basically doing time for being an outspoken advocate of cannabis legalization. That is about as "political prisoner" as you can get. He was selling seeds.

I agree, if he is such a criminal why didn't Canada go after him? That is what the US would like to do to any politician in any country with views that go against US interests. Especially popular ones. He even got sick in there with MRSA. Just goes to show that Canada is the biggest state in the US. Selling seeds = selling cannabis. Any way you cut it, no lack of evidence either, I praise Marc Emery's courage, and I hope he gets out with dignity and keeps working for us. He was arrested in 2005. I wish Obama would have the decency and wherewithal to stand up to the BS and pardon this man, but then he would have to pardon a lot of other people too probably.

attaboy deflection.
to answer your question, abandon, every example i've been provided of a dispensary or grower in compliance being raided has resulted in just plants being taken, no actual prosecution.
new quest for the douchebags that would hand it over to romney because obama didn't look them in the eyes often enough while sucking their dicks.

We have our very own, FDD, who is in jail as we speak I think.

when did i say i was OK with it?
i just said that there were no prosecutions stemming from them in the cases you guys have cited me of state compliant growers and dispensaries getting busted.
you're such a whiney pussy. go vote for romney you rat.

Oh, pardon me. So, you do object to the MMJ crackdown? Is it OK for the feds to seize the property of landlords who rent to MMJ clinics?

It's a weak attack. You are attacking Obama for not being pro-pot enough, but he is by far the most liberal when it comes to cannabis that we have ever had in office. You are doing this in a thread about how anticannabis his opponent is. I wonder if you even notice that contradiction, since it is a contradiction in Obama's approach that you wish to convince people of. Rest your weight on something more steady imo, just a suggestion.

So, Romney says, "can't we talk about something serious?", and Obama just laughs when asked about legalizing marijuana, and you see a big difference between them on this subject?

are you still trying to push this false equivalence bullshit? should i trot out the quotes again, or do you just want to admit that you're being as dumb as dumb can be?
say "i, desert dude, am being as dumb as i can" or i will trot out the quotes for you.

He didn't "just laugh", he said (I'm paraphrasing but not disturbing meaning), legalizing cannabis is not the best strategy for reviving the economy.

Then after he was elected he proclaimed that he is completely against decriminalization with a serious business face. Do you guys have any logical reason to support Obama, besides comparing him to Romney? Who is not much different btw. you guys are in denial somethin serious.

you're saying we're in denial while asserting that romney and obama are about the same?
