Medical marijuana dispensary raided at Tahoe The Associated Press Published: Saturday, Jan. 24, 2009 SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. -- Federal agents have raided a medical marijuana dispensary at South Lake Tahoe.
Five agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency were joined by local and federal authorities when they served a search warrant Thursday on Patient to Patient Collective.
DEA Special Agent Gordon Taylor says agents seized between five and 10 pounds of processed marijuana and a small amount of U.S. currency from the dispensary.
Taylor declined to release additional details on the raid, saying the dispensary is part of an ongoing investigation.
No arrests were reported.
Physician-approved marijuana use for medical purposes has been declared legal in California since voters passed Proposition 215 in 1996.
In 2003, the Legislature provided additional legal guidance to medical marijuana users and led to dispensaries opening in California.
Federal law makes marijuana use and sales illegal - even for medical reasons.

“Dude!”
when the u.s. government made these drugs illegal,
gangs and cartels took over in the u.s.
why not legalize the drugs? let the morons who use them suffer the consequences,
and give us our country back?
no one locked their doors when i was a kid.
Change you can believe in...right.
Virtual traitor(s) in the White House and the DEA is after medical pot?.. Somethings wrong with this picture.. Against the law is beginning to have no meaning.. And Sandy Burgular is still at large from Levenworth..
O said he was going to put an end to these so I think the thugs at the DEA are flipping him the bird.
I'm sure they're pissed as they were likely hoping to seize a large amount of U.S. currency. Someone's going to get reprimanded for that little mistake. Follow the money.
Do this and the only organized crime left in America would be the democratic party.

So sad....
What’s obuma got left as supporters? Let’s see - 10 million fat welafre mommas, a few million bed-wetting college kids and a bunch of 50 IQ rappers who can’t hold a Glock straight.
Quite an army you got there, obuma. Do we laugh now or later?
