In reply to the discussion: Feds Shut Down Marin Pot Club, (California's) Oldest [View all]Webster Green
(13,905 posts)The feds are out to lunch. They need to mind their own beeswax. They claim there are no medicinal benefits to cannabis, which is false, and damn near everyone knows it. Cannabis has such a wide range of medicinal benefits, that it is difficult to think of anything that even comes close to helping people with so many different ailments. New studies discovering new uses for the plant are published all the time. Cannabis is arguably the most useful plant known to man, yet is it prohibited due to lies perpetrated by federal agents, who depend on demonizing drugs to protect their jobs. They also get a kick out of bashing hippies.
The Marin Alliance has been operating with the blessing of the town of Fairfax, and playing by all the rules. The feds have decided to challenge the right of the states to decide if they want to allow medicinal cannabis. It is so sad to see all the hard work that has been done being destroyed by this clueless administration, and their DEA thugs. 15 years of enlightened attitude toward medicinal cannabis is being destroyed very quickly by the liars who insist that pot has no known medicinal value.
The landlord was fine with MAMM until the feds started putting on the pressure....threatening to confiscate his property. The feds are denying cannabis providers from claiming legitimate business expenses. That is absurd. The dispensaries have plenty of operating expenses, just like any other business.
I can't imagine why you would defend the DEA on this issue. If you ever wind up having to do a couple courses of nasty chemotherapy, I'll bet you will change your views pretty quickly. Meanwhile, don't believe everything you have been told about this. The feds are lying once again. Surprise, surprise. That's what they do.
Obama is fucking clueless. I can't believe he can be so cruel.
