| 18. Did anyone read what Holder actually said? |

Edited on Thu Mar-26-09 04:10 PM by jberryhill
Holder said last month that dispensaries only would be prosecuted if both state and federal drug laws were thought to be violated.
...
A source in San Francisco city government who was informed about the raid said the DEA's action appeared to be prompted by alleged financial improprieties related to the payment of sales taxes.
If they weren't paying sales taxes, then the whole "collect the tax revenue" thing flies clean out of the window.
