Chanting "DEA Go Away!" supporters of medical marijuana met DEA agents and other law enforcement officials as they were raiding a South Hill medical marijuana dispensary Thursday afternoon.

The DEA is raiding several medical marijuana dispensaries in Spokane in what Assistant US Attorney Tom Rice is describing as "Official Law Enforcement Action." Rice confirmed a raid was taking place at the THC Pharmacy in the South Perry District on the South Hill.

Club Compassion, located at 1004 E. Bridgeport, was also being raided by authorities. An eyewitness reported that a third medical marijuana dispensary, located at the intersection of Market and Peone, was being raided as well. While not confirmed by law enforcement, podcaster Russ Belville aka "Radical Russ", was hosting a live call-in show online where he was updating a Google map showing the sites that were being raided.

Rice would not comment on the nature of the "enforcement action" except to stay that is illegal to possess or sell marijuana in the United States.

3. fuck this shit

[Webster Green]

4. Obama needs to call off his goons.

This is bullshit! Obama and Holder are fucking clueless.

There is no excuse for this shit in 2011. Their idiotic drug war does far more harm than good.

[slay]

5. +1

this war on weed has become a war on people - and often a war on sick people who need it. this MUST stop. i will not vote for Obama in 2012 if he does not address this shit. he said this would not happen anymore. just another one of his lies like closing gitmo i guess. :mad:

8. There's too much money in it for them to give it up.

10. Easier to

convince people to give up money and/or freedom when there is an enemy to fight. Terrorism, crime, the russians, or potheads. This is just a "victory" to hang their hat on.

Good job, Feds. People that are in a world of pain thanks to cancer or AIDS won't have the safe meds that allow them to lower the amount of pain they're in, or stop their nausea. That's something to be proud of. You've stopped the true dangers of pot. (biggest risk when dealing with a pot head? You can't get Rocky Raccoon out of your head.)

11. Remember Holder saying this?

“it will not be a priority to use federal resources to prosecute patients with serious illnesses or their caregivers who are complying with state laws on medical marijuana.”

I'm just sick of this shit..

[Occulus]

12. Didn't he already say he would?

If so, doesn't that make him an out-and-out liar?

[Webster Green]

14. Yeah, it does.

We aren't allowed to call him that on the DU though.

[Bladian]

13. Seriously?

Bleh...this is disgusting. I don't know where these authorities get off.
