SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Federal agents raided a medical marijuana dispensary in South Lake Tahoe on Thursday.

At about 11 a.m., five agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency — joined by members of the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, the South Lake Tahoe-El Dorado County Narcotics Enforcement Team and the South Lake Tahoe Police — served a federal search warrant on Patient to Patient Collective, located at 2314 Lake Tahoe Boulevard.

Agents seized between five and 10 pounds of processed marijuana and a “small amount” of U.S. currency from the collective, said DEA Special Agent Gordon Taylor.

Police made no arrests on Thursday.

Taylor declined to comment on additional details of the raid, saying Patient to Patient Collective is part of an ongoing investigation.

I sure feel safer going to sleep knowing these terrible crimes won't occur. We are all much, much safer.

Could someone tell me what the difference between these two agencies is:

Drug Enforcement Agency — joined by members of the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement

And more importantly, why we need both of them...

Why don’t they just buy it like everyone else?

It may seem counterintuitive to some (ie. Drug Warrior types on FR), but look for a lot more of these types of raids to happen under the Zero regime.

The Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement is a California agency.

Hmm??? I was actually thinking that one of the few good things that Obama would do is to end this sort of thing.

I thought I detected a little ‘haze’ while skiing at Heavenly last week!

Not a peep on the local Reno news, which usually covers Lake Tahoe items, as they have no network stations.

I wonder how many million dollars they spent to get 10 lb’s of medical marijuana? It would be worth about $30 bucks if you could grow it in your garden.

Nope. Abandon all hope of any good coming from this administration

The great Zero has denied even thinking about ending this madness.

That’s a shame I would like to see this war on drug madness ended...especially where pot is concerned.

It's for the children.
