Glad to hear the federal government has their priorities straight. DEA bullying continues...

Glad to see you're happy about Fascism! You must be one of those folks who LIKES McCain and has no use for the Bill of Rights.
Why are you on this site??

Because every single person frequenting at these 28 dispensaries has a horrible, life-threatening disease that only magical THC can cure.
Spare us the hysterical, emotionalized lefty propaganda.

happy about Fascism!Like most utter morons who throw the word "fascism" around the way a baby throws food, you have no conception of what the word means.
I know people who survived Hitler's Germany, and who lived through the Soviet occupation of the Ukraine.
They know what fascism really is, and they would laugh bitterly at a privileged nitwit who compares enforcement of constitutionally vetted law made by a duly elected representative assembly to the hell on earth they endured.
no use for the Bill of Rights
There is no right to deal drugs in the Constitution.
Why are you on this site??
A question you might more justly ask yourself.

The best solution may be for the SF government to let the dispensaries operate out of government buildings. That way the federal agents would have to go after the city itself. Then the Mayor and others will have to stand behind their policies, and settle the matter one way or another.

There is no right to deal drugs in the Constitution. There is no prohibition either...Not ALL rights are enumerated in the constitution.

There is no prohibition either...Of course. Therefore, such matters as regulating the trafficking in medicines and purported medicines is left up to either the states or the people.
The people, through their agent the US Congress, have legislated on this matter.

Dude - if you want to go out and get stoned - then go out and get stoned. Don't feed me the lines of this is a medical necessity and it is for the "good" of the public...

"the San Francisco Patients' Cooperative on Divisadero Street, will shut its doors at the end of the month after nearly 20 years"They're having a "Going Out of Business Sale". Medical marijuana for $460/ounce -- marked down from $480/ounce.
$480/ounce is "compassion"? That's caring about the sick and dying? You can get it illegally for half that price!
Look. If the medical marijuana supporters don't care about the sick and dying, why should I?

Do you really believe that the only rights we have are those explicitly listed in the Constitution? The Constitution disagrees with you.
To: SmithL
Oh, I feel so much safer now that the feds are trumping state law (10th Amendment be damned) to stamp out the evil devil weed.
Gotta keep them white women from having sex with black jazz musicians, doncha know ...

It’s an interesting experiment... Combining this with the proposed cutting of funds due to Berkeley’s insult to the Marines... Let’s put a dome on the city and watch!
