Decision To Crack Down On Medical Marijuana Made In California, Not Washington, U.S. Attorney Says So why would they US Attorney make this claim. Are they feeling the heat from pro-MMJ voters?
I dont give a shit if it was thought up in Cali or DC, bottom line is Federal prosecutors launched an attack. Federal is always federal. Fuck you federal Gov't, you piece of shit!
They are FEDERAL, not state, so they are being tossed under the bus after DC 'suggested' they act...sure it wasn't an order....but knowing they could be 'replaced' for not doing what is hinted at over and over 'could' have influenced their choice to act. I would love to see all emails and memo's between their offices and DC. Have all their voice messages, phone calls, teleconferences, made public. Unless they have something to hide, they would have done so by now...(isn't that how it works? )
General Rule of Thumb: When anyone affiliated with the fed tells you something, assume the opposite is true.
So who footing the bill? Cali or the Federal taxpayers? I'm sure that they just didn't do this with out clearing it past some authority. Who I think would have checked with the White House to make sure this wouldn't negatively impact the re-election campaign??
I had no idea the state of California also ran the DEA... That would explain why both are screwed up though...
If a state demands the the federal government uphold the law the federal government can no longer pretend they are respecting state laws, can they? If it was people in California who demanded a federal crackdown then they deserve primary blame.
The truth is that in a limited number of counties, certain factions have been making a stink about this since its inception, San Diego County being the worst, and Kern County not far behind. To blame Californians for requesting Federal action is partially correct. The forces who requested this are, however, not representative of most of the state, and certainly not representative of public opinion. The feds are simply licking their chops at once again filling their coffers with seized money and goods, and another excuse to dress up in riot gear and terrorize peaceful shop owners. They will fail miserably at stopping the medical movement, as they have already done under Bush, who had this same crap going on.
