Federal agents raided a number of dispensaries in Spokane, Washington and warned others that they too might get raided and shutdown. This happened on the same day that Washington's governor vetoed part of a bill to regulate and tax medical marijuana in Washington. No reason was given for why these dispensaries were targeted by the Feds. It seems Obama's promise to allow states to regulate medical marijuana is another broken promise.

heard about this one as we live near there. It so stupid and cruel. They can't catch all the rapists, murders and child abusers but hey somebody selling a dried PLANT to somebody in pain boy they can really go after them. We have friends who try to keep themselves and a few other very needy patients supplied and they are getting bugged too. Of course, being so crippled with pain, they will be easy catches for doughnut sucking pigs... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
i thought obama effectively stopped these raids. is the fbi just going by its own rules now? do americans realize we live in a one party state?
It seems that the level of concern for our opinions is limited to knowing what lies to tell us in order to get voted into office so the status quo can be preserved. I guess the voting booth is another "joybuzzer" in place to placate the masses into believing that they've somehow effected change when in reality they've simply played a part in their own deception by participating in the voting game which effectively draws attention away from those who are quite likely the ones making the decisions... and clearly they have zero intention of allowing marijuana to become legal. They will violate states rights to that end.
It really seems that the FBI/CIA and just about all private sectors have become "above the law"... It's really sad. It's like we have governments inside of governments. Edit: Make that just about any organization connected legally or monetarily to the FED.
The DEA is not the FBI. It is the DEA who enforce the federal drug laws. Obama is a puppet. Nothing more.
yep obama lied to us unless the fed's are doing this behind his back any way the goverment need's to get it's shit togather and leave the medical pot smokers alone and quit busting our dispensaries
Our friends got raided! They took Adam to a cold concrete holding cell where he had several seizures and bashes his head against the wall over and over. They confiscated all his meds and left his wife with her immature plants. He needs pot to help the seizures he has from pain and a spinal injury from a beating he received when he tried to work as a security guard. Slimeballs...grrrrrrrrrrr
