Yes, a dispensary was raided in Tahoe. No, the feds didn't have anything to do with it.

Here's the actual story the OP linked to: http://blog.sfgate.com/smellthetruth/2015/06/02/federal-medical-marijuana-crackdown-continues-in-california/

The OP (or somebody) has altered crucial words in this story. The mention of the DEA and the FBI in the opening sentences is different from from the actual story says ("law enforcement&quot , and the DEA reference is also different from the actual text ("officials&quot . The actual story does not mention the DEA or FBI at all, but does mention several local law enforcement entities. These changes take a local police operation and fabricate out of it a raid by the feds. It's simply not true. In fact, if you search local media stories about this, you see it appears to be a local, possibly politically-motivated vendetta, not another example of Obama's Justice Department run amok. In any case, altering the text of news stories is dishonest.
