A San Francisco medical marijuana community already unhappy with federal raids on dispensaries was outraged and energized by Monday's raid on Oaksterdam. Hundreds of protestors went to the federal building to let the US Attorney know it. Chronicle story here.

Dismantle the DEA
When will America wake up and see what a waste of money the DEA is? I had a dream a while back that the Mexican Cartels and al-Queda teamed up to obliterate the DEA. I woke up sad that it was only a dream, because I smile each time a DEA agent dies. It's unfortunate too few of them do. Everyone of them is scum. Pure human scum.

I genuinely liked reading through your post! You have quality material. I might advise you to come up with blog posts even more often. By doing this, having this kind of a worthy website I think you will probably rank higher in the search engines.
What Happened to 2009?
Huh. I thought Obama stopped a lot of those raids around the time he first got into office. I guess it turns out that was just a short-term move to appease the people who thought he might actually do something about the Drug War. Hopefully we get someone in office soon who can actually put a stop to these ridiciulous policies.
