OAKLAND -- Federal agents converged on Oaksterdam University and two other medical marijuana sites in downtown Oakland Monday morning, but officials are releasing few details about the raid or any warrants served.

Outside the cannabis college at 1600 Broadway, U.S. Marshals were blocking the entrance Monday morning to prevent anyone from getting in, as agents with the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency searched the building.

Two other buildings in Oaksterdam, the city's cannabis district, were also searched at 19th and Broadway and on the 400 block 15th Street.

Multiple documents were removed from the building. ...............(more)

2. I don't do drugs.

Don't drink now. Don't smoke now. Never did any illegal stuff.

But for the life of me, I can't see what is so dangerous about marijuana AND Hemp that is has to be in the same Class as Heroin!! Why is hemp banned? It is not even a drug.
From what I have read, marijuana is a much safer drug than alcohol. And besides what other easy to obtain drug has as many medical uses as marijuana? Why is even most research into medical uses banned when there is so much evidence that it is a very useful drug(s)?
