In reply to the discussion: WTF is up with "Obama's War on Weed" ?? It makes no sense at this point in the game. [View all]SoCalMusicLover
(3,194 posts)30. Relatively Rare, Huh?
My girlfriend has a medical marijuana license. She was a member of 3 collectives here in South Orange County. They were all raided and shut down by FEDERAL AGENTS.
Sorry to offend those who view Mr. Obama as a deity. A saint whose every action has a completely legitimate explanation.
Again, I'm really glad he's helping us out here in California, by providing support for the overburdened state government, which is too busy to shut all the collectives down on their own.
I hope they continue to get involved for the all important "various reasons" you mention.
If this were happening under *, all of you Obama worshipers would be criticizing, but since it's your god, he can do no wrong I guess.

local cops wouldn't handle a raid on a gun dealer alone, they'd call in the ATF.
