Marijuana collectives, landlords sue feds

[DreamSmoker]

San Diego medical marijuana advocates joined a series of lawsuits Monday seeking an immediate stop to the federal government’s statewide crackdown on medicinal cannabis.

A coalition of patients, storefront collectives and their landlords beginning Friday brought the lawsuits in four federal judicial districts — San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento — where U.S. attorneys have set various deadlines for dispensaries to shut down or risk criminal prosecution and forfeiture of their properties.

Briana Bilbray, the 25-year-old daughter of Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-San Diego, is among the plaintiffs in the case filed in U.S. District Court in San Diego that, among other claims, accuses the Department of Justice of entrapping marijuana providers by reversing its own policy.

That lawsuit names as defendants U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Drug Enforcement Administration head Michele Leonhart and U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy of San Diego

2. The Obama admins back and forth on this makes no sense, never has.

And to think that the USA has managed to spread the demonization of marijuana into so many countries... where's a harmless pot smoker to go?
