Medical marijuana access under attack: The DEA is raiding in Los Angeles now
Armed federal agents are raiding medical marijuana dispensing collectives in your area as I write this. This is the latest assault on seriously ill patients' access to their medicine, and Californians' right to determine their own medical marijuana policies. If you are able to, please head down to the site of the raid to denounce it.
Protest the raids of Los Angeles dispensing collectives at the following locations:
441 1/2 E. 16th St.
4427 1/2 Crenshaw Blvd.
1321 E. Compton Blvd.
14102 S. Vermont Ave.
As details become available, MPP will send out a more detailed alert. If you are able to join the protest against the raid now, please do so immediately. (This e-mail was sent at approximately 12:30 p.m. PST on March 20, 2008.) Also, please read our follow-up alert to learn the details of this latest federal assault on California's medical marijuana law and how you can help stop future raids.

there's meth cookers blowing up trailers and hotel rooms, crack dealers killing people for dealing territory, and other hard drug dealers/manufacturers committing serious, violent crimes against humanity.... and the so-called "drug enforcement administration" spends all their time ruinining innocent people's lives and making it harder for sick people of all kinds to have access to medication... what a fucking joke, every last person in there needs to grab a rope and find the nearest tree... As i see it, the DEA can honestly go fuck themselves because they are some of the lowest scum on earth to benefit off taking away people's medicine... and the medical marijuana community is a peaceful, compassionate one... but they don't give a fuck it's like shooting fish in a barrel... safe, easy targets that won't/can't fight back...

first, my intention is not to flame this, but only to present an alternate opinion ... there are a lot of 'dispensaries' that are nothing more than a 'front' for selling pot ... 'gangsters in storefronts', I call 'em ... I don't know anything about these particular dispensaries, but the DEA has generally only been busting the ones with guns, gangsters, and many thousands of dollars by the bagfulls ... maybe you feel sorry for people selling pot for $20 a gram, and owning a pair of Ferraris, but I sure as hell don't ... grow your own meds, grow your legal number of plants, and they're not likely to bother you ... put your sympathies with a better class of people :smokin:

it is true that most dispenciares are opened buy scrupulous
people with the intent of getting rich:mad::mad:
the prop 215 and sb420 clearly states NON-PROFIT
if your local dispenciary is not donating its profits back
into the community then they should be busted!!
plz complain to your local police and have them shut down
that guy in stockton made 6 million in yr how much did he donate
nothin not a dollar he made a rap video and know he's out on bail
running around being a rap star spending all that money
he got from charging everyone 75$1/8th
the US government and the state of california needs to step
in and fix it know!the gangsters are getting rich and the patients
are getting ripped off.
I saw there is a coop i think in santa cruz that has gotton it rite
their patients don't pay anything for thier meds !!!!!:hippy:

If mj were to be fully legalised as a medicine then drug companies would lose a fortune and sack people, the stems and branches would be turned into hemp fibres which would cost jobs in the wood-chip, cotton and nylon industries and the leaves could be used to make hash or canna butter/oil for cooking and baking products to be sold in cannabis clubs. Cannabis can actually generate quite a bit of money in the local community, money the federal government can't tax as mj is not a legal drug under their laws.
As to why the DEA is targeting marijuana and not the heavy drugs out there, crystal meth is cooked up in a day, a quick grow from seedling or clone takes 3 months plus, cannabis growers are easier targets than meth cooks. As for the cannabis clubs, they're just sitting there so the DEA can hit them when they feel the climate is ripe to ask for higher budgets to meet the increasing costs of the war on drugs.
I'm glad the Australian government is not quite as harsh on us as the US gov is on its own citizens, the Australian federal government cannot over-rule the state governments on illicit drug usage and manufacture laws, it's a pity that none of them have the balls to be the first one to at least make mj available to med users.
:cool:

that is interesting, i did not know that. Aussie Federalism :smokin: i wonder if that is in the Australian Constitution? some would argue, like me for instance :stoned: that the US federal gov't also does not have the right to act against the states based on our own 9th and 10th amendments, but Bush and all his psuedo-conservative Supreme Court judges seemed to have scribbled out that section in their copy. :mad:

We are too many and they are too few. They can try to take these away but we still live on. There are too many around this country and around the world that use cannabis. Millions! And it never killed anyone. I truly believe it has opened up so many peoples minds including myself. I found a package of bread at Kroger's the other day with a huge cannabis leaf on it. It was pure hemp bread. So now a manufacture can make a produce an illegal substance, one that supplies relief and comfort to so many, and package it as bread. I know there is no THC value in the bread but the fact that you can grow a straight hemp plant for thread or nourishment and get arrested for it is insane. why can Kroger import and sell it but I can't grow it. Tax reasons maybe?
I keep getting this feeling that I don't want to be in this country anymore but I love the opportunity and the freedom although I feel we are being taken advantage of. Hopefully someday this shit will stop.
