Feds raid medical marijuana dispensaries in Washington state — where possession is legal

By M. Alex Johnson, Staff Writer, NBC News
Federal agents raided several medical marijuana dispensaries Wednesday in Washington — a state which just decriminalized the drug last year.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Seattle office confirmed in a brief statement that "several search warrants were executed today involving marijuana storefronts" in the Puget Sound region around Seattle.
It gave no further details, and the number of raids remained unclear Wednesday evening.
One of the dispensaries was the Bayside Collective in Olympia, the state capital, where seven government vehicles converged Wednesday morning.
Agents with guns drawn seized business records and about $2,500 worth of marijuana intended for cancer patients, Casey Lee, who works at the clinic, told NBC station KING of Seattle.
"It's humiliating," Lee said. "They don't get to see the cancer patients."
Washington was one of the first states to legalize possession of up to an ounce of marijuana last year. But it remains illegal under federal law, and Lee claimed one of the agents told him, "Things are going to be hell for you."
"One of the DEA agents said: 'This is your second raid and your third robbery. Why do you keep doing this?'" Lee said.
"I just told him it's because we just enjoy helping people, and he told us that he wasn't expecting that answer."

We might as well just build prison walls around the entire U.S. and turn every neighborhood, and every beer drinking / pot smoking citizen into prisoners of the government.
Might as well cut the foreplay and go right to the federal ass pounding

The military is made up of citizens, they have to be subtle or they'll find themselves in the gallows. During the French Revolution the King's body guards joined the revolt

So true, unfortunately.
I look forward to the day there is a revolution in the U.S., unfortunately I think it'd take a solar flare to knock out the power grid completely to give any sort of uprising a chance, unfortunately as well.

This is pathetic. Now we know where the administration stands on states rights. Not that it wasn't already apparent. . .

It's not legal. The writer of the article should know better than to put that in the headline.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Decriminalized means no record. It's out of the feds hands, what they are doing is highway robbery.

this is so fucked up! raiding a dispensiary for cancer patients? might as well raid the hospital for their chemotherapy too as long as you are taking their medicine... seriously isnt the DEA supposed to concern themselves with container ships bringing metric tons across the border from foriegn countries or harder drugs? or if you have to raid something regarding marijuanna in a state where its legal anyways why not focus on black market suppliers rather then a god damn cancer patient dispensiary. this is sickenning :S

They wouldn't have to raid if they locked up all the politicians and put guns to the voters heads.

How can these agents (more like marauders) live with themselves knowing that their efforts are based on a total fraud? I guess collecting paychecks and building up a pension fund is more important than upholding a sworn oath to defend your countrymen. Trampling their livelihood and throwing them in jail with a majority of inmates being non-violent drug offenders... somehow in their fucked heads this is helping more than harming.

Something that was left out of the article OP posted.
Quote:
According to the AP, the raid on Bayside, and presumably the other clinics, was part of a two-year investigation that'll go before a grand jury in September.
Guess we'll see what happens then.

I can't help but wonder how much longer Americans are going to put up with the government invading our privacy, putting us in jail, and fining us into poverty before the first person throws a stone and the rest follows.
The fact that the federal government cannot respect a states sovereignty is a GIGANTIC red flag that we don't get behind. If a Mexican immigrant gets caught carrying 50 lbs of cocaine across the boarder we fingerprint them and send them back to Mexico, if and American is selling marijuana out of a brick-and-mortar store to cancer patients he is standing in front of a judge.
What the fuck.

So, I'm just curious... let's say there's a revolution tomorrow and the military's on board and all the dudes for the govt are pussies and we win and loot the white house and take a dump on the drug czar's desk. What next? Who's going to run it and how?
The drug war has been a long time in the making, and I don't think there's really any way it's going to die suddenly. Things are starting to go badly for these types of enforcement agencies in terms of public opinion, so they are lashing out and trying to show people what's up by doing more and more of the things people despise the most. It's a fool's strategy that will only work against them in the long run. I really wish there could be no more casaulties in this war, but that's not going to be the case. We probably haven't seen the worst of what they will do yet.

They will use the powers that have been given to them in any way possible.
