DEA raids medical marijuana dispensary in Laguna Beach
October 8, 2008 - ocregister.com
LAGUNA BEACH - Agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration raided a marijuana dispensary Tuesday, seized an unknown amount of marijuana and took into custody two people who were later released, authorities said.
With the assistance of detectives from the Laguna Beach Police Department, DEA agents served the search warrant at 2007 South Coast Highway, taking into custody marijuana plants and several edible products believed to contain marijuana, said Special Agent Sarah Pullen of the DEA.
Officers with the Laguna Beach Police Department assisted in containing the area but did not participate in the actual search, said Sgt. Jason Kravetz.
Two employees who were taken into custody were later released. No charges have been filed in connection to the case, she said.
The federal search warrant is under seal and details on how much marijuana was seized at the Laguna Beach Holistic Center could not be disclosed, Pullen said.
A call to the business was not answered Wednesday afternoon.
The search and seizure of the marijuana is the latest local example of the clash that has continued between California and federal laws, which contradict each other in the question of medical marijuana and has left cities and local law enforcement agencies in the middle.
Some cities, such as Huntington Beach, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, Fullerton and Santa Ana have banned marijuana dispensaries in their area. Brea has adopted a moratorium ban until March 2009.
In contrast, the Laguna Woods City Council passed an ordinance in September allowing medical dispensaries, although they would only be allowed to serve city residents.
Federal law prohibits the use and sale of marijuana, but voters in California passed the Compassionate Use Act in 1996, which allows people to use marijuana for medicinal purposes.
While local law enforcement agencies have usually allowed the local dispensaries to do business, federal authorities have served several search warrants and seized marijuana from the businesses.

"Freedom means being in control (either as an individual or as a member of a SMALL group) of the life-and-death issues of one's existence; food, clothing, shelter and defense against whatever threats there may be in one's environment. Freedom means having power; not the power to control other people but the power to control the circumstances of one's own life. One does not have freedom if anyone else (especially a large organization) has power over one, no matter how benevolently, tolerantly and permissively that power may be exercised. It is important not to confuse freedom with mere permissiveness."

I remember being in DARE when i was much younger and some of the stories they would tell you are not only ridiculous, but completely untrue. One story was that a woman was on LSD and thought her infant was a turkey so she baked it in the oven. Now I look back and think thats hilarious, but at the time I guess it scared me.

you know how a junkie gets when he needs a fix?
all uppity and shit, i need some shit now, kinda feeling?
well, DEA agents are people too. and they need weed and money.
and what easier way to get them than to "enforce federal law" and go and steal it from a legal place of business?
it's for no good of the community. all they wanted was weed and money. and that's exactly what they got.
probably no charges will be filed against the employees. maybe against the owner or operator, but probably not either

DEA is doing whatever they can because they know in four weeks a new power will take office and the rights of the states are going to be protected.

I guess I could call the DEA on the phone and ask them to cut it out.
It would be fun to call the nearest DEA office to Long Beach and ask for Sarah Pullen, and ask her about her use of tax dollars and imply that she doesn't have her priorities straight.

when dispensaries are raided, they usually take all of the weed and sometimes the cash, and shortly after threaten the landlords ... who then send 1-month eviction notices to the tenants so that they (the landlords) don't get fucked by the DEA. there are usually no charges involved, it's merely a "clean-up" scheme by the DEA to prevent people from getting their medicine.
pricks.

The only one of the four that care about state rights is Sarah Palin. McCain and Biden both dislike drugs, except for alcohol, and Obama will do whatever his handlers tell him (much like George does now).

agreed.
And Obama keeps spouting so much bullshit about patients being arrested by the DEA for smokin marijuana I don't know what version of reality he's in. I can see him take office now and declare he'll end raids on medical marijuana patients that smoke pot. And then we'll all breath a sigh of relief as these pot consuming patients no longer fear the DEA kicking their door down.
Course they never did fear that, and Obama entirely manufactured the entire issue so as to be praised for some bullshit neither Bush nor Clinton did. MM patients are not being arrested for smoking pot by the feds. Why does Obama keep saying he'll stop this then?

Obama stated that all non-violent drug offenders will get NO prison time. This includes dealers that dont have guns on them.
Just the first step though....

The Libertarian campaign manager (or someone in that position) was quoted in a Playboy interview that within 100 days of election, Libertarians want to release every non-violent drug offender in the US prision system.
THAT's a good first step... maybe give them back the right to vote too.
