DEA Raids Washington MJ dispensaries

I know maybe half (maybe more) will disagree with me on this, but fuck the DEA.

Feds raid medical marijuana dispensaries in Wash. — where pot is legal

13 hrs ago
Although Washington was one of the states that legalized marijuana in 2012, it remains illegal under federal law. On Wednesday, federal agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration raided several medical marijuana dispensaries in the region around Seattle. The DEA didn't reveal why it raided the "marijuana storefronts," or how many it raided. Casey Lee, an employee of one of the dispensaries in Olympia, said agents with guns drawn seized $2,500 worth of marijuana intended for cancer patients and described the incident as "humiliating." He claims a DEA agent told him, "Things are going to be hell for you." [Source]

I concur.

States rights aside, it's still federally illegal. DEA is welcome here too

Until the states re-assert their 10th amendment rights federal law will take precedence over state law.

+1 for what OP said.

What they do not confiscate / seize under federal law. The IRS will seize under Ill Gotten Gains. I read this shit where CO politicians are "working with banks" to make sure with pot being "legal" in CO the banks will allow MMJ stores to open accounts. Which BTW, they did not do when it was medicinal MJ business complaining about bank refusal to open accounts.
IF the DEA does not make "visits" to CO store fronts you can bet the farm, the fix is in with Hick, the dem legislature and The Obama Administration for much darker things, pertaining to gun laws.

Hick didn't want Marijuana legal and he still doesn't want Marijuana legal despite the fact that the majority of Colorado voters want it legal. He signed the bill because he knew if he didn't it would mean death to his party and he wouldn't dare do anything that would be bad for his party which is exactly why he signed the gun control bills his party signed into law despite the fact that he knew they would not work. Politics is an ugly business and Hick has gotten pretty damn good at being a politician.

With that being said.... There's a good possibility these pot shops could have been a front for a sex trafficking business or they could have been pushing cartel weed or.... I really don't know. What I do know is that we need to watch and wait before jumping to conclusions on this one.

I'm just kicking back. The most important thing for CO will be the timing of any DEA visits, if at all. Anything before 2014 mid terms and the D's are finished. Or as you mentioned, they could use the old. Store front used for XXX business

Which is precisely why I didn't vote for legalization. I knew it would turn into a political morass and get bounced from one court to another ad nauseum.
