TheHeretic -> RE: DOJ Launches 'Coordinated Crackdown' on Medical Marijuana (10/7/2011 8:10:27 PM)

Not long ago, my county government passed an ordinance banning the storefront dispensaries. Within a matter of days, they received enough legally valid signatures on petitions to shove the ordinance right back down their throats. They can now put it on the ballot, or they can just shut up, and let it drop. I don't think they want a fight they know they will lose, but I suppose they had to kiss the ass of the opposition a little, and make a show.
Surprised? No. It is rarely presented as such, but what is happening in California, and across a number of other states, is a massive act of civil disobedience, in defiance of the federal government. Fuck those "show up and hang out," Wall Street party bitches, we've all got our signatures on documents the federal authorities could very well seize, and use in prosecution. The feds have to at least stay in the game, until we, as a nation, confront the utter failure of our drug policies.
Going after the landlords? Well, considering the kind of cash that flows through those places, I guess the collectives will just have to buy their own buildings, huh?
