SAN FRANCISCO - Federal prosecutors have launched a crackdown on pot dispensaries in California, warning the stores they must shut down in 45 days or face criminal charges and confiscation of their property even if they are operating legally under the state's 15-year-old medical marijuana law.
In an escalation of the ongoing conflict between the U.S. government and the nation's burgeoning medical marijuana industry, California's four U.S. attorneys sent letters Wednesday and Thursday notifying at least 16 pot shops or their landlords that they are violating federal drug laws, even though medical marijuana is legal in California. The attorneys are scheduled to announce their coordinated crackdown at a Friday news conference.

This makes no sense at all. This country is sinking in debt more everyday and these places ae adding MILLIONS of dollars a year in taxes in the pockets of our crooked Gov. and paying BOTH State & Federal Taxes unlike the junk pot that people are dying to bring over from mexico and now they want to close these places down ??? WHATS wrong with this picture ??? If they would wake up and smell the "weed' and make it legal it would take the "street" criminals out of it and allow the "GOV." criminals to control it and make millions of dollars a year in tax dollars so they can steal that too ???
Got nothing else to do? Like say, working the border?
