DEA Closes the doors to the 250+ cannabis clubs in the LA area.
    #7200169 - 07/19/07 10:25 PM (16 years, 6 months ago)

The DEA has recently put pressure on property owners leasing their land to cannabis dispenseries in the LA and surrounding areas. They are telling landowners that they could face up to 20 years in federal prison if they continue to let marijuana dispenseries operate on their property. This has prompted the eviction and closer of all the clubs in LA, most are closing within the next week. None of this has been on the news however, I fear the federal government is trying to hinder pupblic support for this cause.

Warning For Landlords

Raising the stakes in their war against medical pot, federal officials have warned more than 150 L.A. landlords that they risk arrest and the loss of their properties if they continue renting to marijuana dispensaries, it was reported Tuesday.

The two-page letter sent last week by Timothy J. Landrum, Drug Enforcement Administration special agent in charge of the Los Angeles office, has whipped up worries among landlords and dispensary operators in a region where dispensaries have proliferated in the last two years, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"I'm devastated," Lisa Sawoya, who left her lucrative job selling high-tech hospital equipment to open a dispensary 18 months ago in Hollywood, told The Times. "...I'll be closing my doors at the end of this month."

Sarah Pullen, a DEA spokeswoman in Los Angeles, said the purpose of the letters was to "educate" property owners at risk.

"By renting their property to individuals violating fed drug laws, they are in and of themselves violating federal law," Pullen told The Times. "These are definitely meant to serve as a notice."

The DEA move has focused entirely on Los Angeles, The Times reported. Activists suspect that the logistics and timing -- more than a decade after state voters legalized medical marijuana with the passage of Proposition 215 -- is intended to thin the ranks of Los Angeles dispensaries on the eve of new city regulations.

A proposed city ordinance would cap and regulate the number of outlets, which now number more than 400.

Medical marijuana activists say most of the landlords take the threat seriously and have asked the dispensaries to move out.

It's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

They have been having horrible propaganda on the television lately painting marijuana as an evil plant and the DEA as heroes, once again brainwashing those blinded by their televisions and mainstream media news coverage.
