Feds threaten marijuana dispensary landlords

SACRAMENTO, CA - The federal government is warning landlords who rent to marijuana dispensaries that they risk losing their property.

Despite California law allowing the sale and use of medicinal marijuana, the federal government still considers it a crime.

A certified letter from the U.S. Attorney in San Francisco alerts landlords that they could not only lose their property, but also any rent paid by the dispensary operator.

"The dispensary is operating in violation of federal law," the letter states. "Property involved in such operations, including real property, is subject to seizure by and forfeiture to the United States."

1. Oh for crissake.

Obama can just simply legalize it with an EO.

Can he?

But I am not counting on him to do actually something for the MMJ patient, of which I am one.

3. No...but what he can do

Is keep his promise to back off and not waste resources going after MMJ dispensaries. Both the President and Holder publicly stated they weren't going to hassle dispensaries back in 2009.

It's ridiculous, futile, and it's destroying our social fabric.
