Judge refuses to block medical marijuana operation
RIVERSIDE ?? A federal judge refused Monday to issue a preliminary injunction against a Cathedral City medical marijuana dispensary, saying that while he understood the city's ??frustration,? he did not have authority to order the business to cease operations.
??This is complicated by a number of factors,? said Riverside-based U.S. District Judge Stephen G. Larson, before issuing a decision regarding Cathedral City-based Essential Herbs and Oils.
??It's complicated by the will of the people of California and the will of the people of Cathedral City. The question is whether the city has a right to bring this action to this court at this time.?
Larson said he could find no Congressional or U.S. Supreme Court precedent to validate a ??private right of action? by Cathedral City, emphasizing that a federal preliminary injunction for alleged violations of the 1970 Controlled Substances Act should have been sought by the U.S. Justice Department.

Judge refuses to block medical marijuana operation
I hope these folks realize what is going to happen.
The city will just wait around, and do anything they can in the mean time to help the DEA with investigations, the DEA will send people in, they will do this the next year likely, they will set up surveilence in a near by business, they will build their case, then as soon as they get their funding from congress, they will the next day raid them.
I wish them well and good luck, but when you beat a city, and operate in spite of what the city governments wishes, they will smile in your face and stab you in the back as soon as they can.
Look at what happened in Corona to Ronnie.:(
