(28,784 posts)As I already noted - Harborside, which provided mmj for the kid with epilepsy (actually, not the girl here, but another child) was targeted by the justice dept.
If the City of Oakland is suing Holder - that means the administration was going after a legally operating - and the longest standing dispensary, as well - in CA.
The Cole Memo, which I note, below, EXPRESSLY STATES THE ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT SUPPORT DISPENSARIES OR GROWERS and considers them targets for prosecution.
What the administration has said is that they do not consider medical marijuana PATIENTS targets for prosecution - this is prosecutorial discretion and the administration has EXPLICITLY stated they do not include the infrastructure of dispensaries and growers in this group that isn't worth prosecution.
That is VASTLY different than saying the administration supports mmj in legal states.
