How can you tell when President Obama is lying? His lips are moving.
When we first met Senator Obama, he was for decriminalizing marijuana, then he was elected and the federal raids on medical pot dispensaries were in full effect. Then the voters of Washington and Colorado completely legalized marijuana and the President stated that he would respect the people’s will in the two states and not go after weed.
If it’s Obama, it’s a lie. From the AP:
Federal agents have raided a number of medical marijuana dispensaries in the Puget Sound region.
Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Jodie Underwood said Wednesday afternoon the operation was under way. She declined to immediately provide details about how many dispensaries were being targeted or how many search warrants were being executed.
Washington state legalized adult possession of up to an ounce of marijuana last fall, but marijuana remains illegal under federal law.
The targeted dispensaries include Seattle Cross, Tacoma Cross and Bayside Collective in Olympia.
Bayside employee Addy Norton said agents seized personal cell phones of dispensary workers and pot, but left computers and about $1,000 in cash. Agents told her the raid was part of a two-year investigation, and she said she was ordered to appear before a federal grand jury in Seattle in September.
More federal search warrants exist and Wednesday’s raids could be just the beginning…
