screw over everyone so big corp. America can take over. ... make and twist laws to enable the oligarchy to do as it damn well pleases.

U.S. authorities filed suit Thursday seeking to seize the building of a Sacramento dispensary, charging the marijuana store violated federal laws against drug transactions near schools.

The forfeiture complaint filed over the Sacramento Holistic Healing Center – a Southside Park dispensary also known as "Grass on 10th" – marks the first formal federal seizure action against a medical marijuana outlet in the city.

In court papers filed in Sacramento, U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner suggested the business was being targeted because it was dispensing marijuana within 1,000 feet of the MET Sacramento charter high school and William Land Elementary School.

Arguing that federal law allows for "enhanced criminal penalties" for selling or distributing marijuana near schools, authorities filed papers to seize a 1,686-square-foot retail space at 2014 10th St., near T Street.

The site, which houses the dispensary, is owned by a property firm, Legacy Ventures LLC of El Macero.

The Sacramento Holistic Healing Center was one of 38 dispensaries allowed to continue operating while applying for a city medical marijuana business permit. About two dozen of the city dispensaries remain open.

3. Interesting

You should crosspost this as an OP in LBN. You're allowed to do that.

4. one would think the dea would be more interested in meth labs instead of legitimate holistic centers

5. You would, wouldn't you. The actions by the dea often make no

sense to me, it's hard to figure their agenda, who's doing what for whom.

8. What an outdated question. Have you checked the warrant?

There is only one reason why they use a warrant anymore. COURT. Pigs raid at will.
