Feds move to seize SF pot club building
Source: San Francisco Examiner
The U.S. Department of Justice is moving to seize a Mission district building that houses a city-licensed medical marijuana dispensary — the first time such an action has been taken in San Francisco.
Melinda Haag, the U.S. attorney for Northern California, filed a forfeiture proceeding May 6 against 2441 Mission St., a commercial building between 20th and 21st streets where Shambhala Healing Center has operated on and off since early 2011.
... Haag has moved to seize buildings in Oakland, Berkeley and Marin County because they housed cannabis dispensaries, but this is the Justice Department’s first forfeiture action against a San Francisco landlord, according to records.
... Haag targeted Shambhala because of its proximity to a minipark on Capp Street and Jose Coronado Playground at Folsom and 21st streets, according to court filings. City records, however, show that the playground is closed and is not currently operated or occupied by The City’s Recreation and Park Department.
