This is not another post of the DEA raiding a MMJ Co-op, unfortunately, it is much worse. This is an article about people who are trying to follow the letter of the law, and are being busted by the people who the STATE puts in charge of enforcing that law. This type of stuff makes me sick. (the cops raiding MMJ patients, not you, Rebgirl ;) )

The federal government is far too big. The state government was supposed to be the ones in control and the federal government was only there to keep all 50 states together as one (during war, printing money, etc.). The states need to ban together and tell the federal government enough is enough, we want our power back.

Yes, it is the LEO's now, but just wait until they get their hands slapped. Then they will turn up the pressure on the DEA there, as the article stated they already have been talking to them. It's just a matter of time, the same thing was/and is happening here in Cali. There are numerous accounts of local LEO's taking a personal position on the matter, and then getting the DEA involved when they are dead ended.

You are right rebgirl, the federal government has gone way beyond what it's intended purpose is. And the local leo's will eventually take advantage of it for their benifit. Again I say, creating MORE laws, just is not the answer folks, no matter how good the intentions. We need to be taking laws off the books, we are going the wrong direction in this battle. This will just be repeated over and over again until we get it right.:(
