SAN FRANCISCO --Federal agents said Thursday they shut down a factory that made marijuana-laced barbecue sauce, chocolate-covered pretzels and other "enhanced" snacks intended for medical users of the drug.

The Drug Enforcement Administration said it arrested three people Wednesday and was looking for a fourth who operated Oakland-based Tainted Inc.

How much $$$ has this company donated to Ron Paul?

This is an example of where social conservatism is a drag on society; a tyrant under color of the law. All the laws regulating marijuana are a direct result of the effort by an oligarchy to control behavior and protect the members of the oligarchy's interests in business. It was done to deny an intoxicant of modest price and availability, while promoting one far more detrimental to society, difficult to produce and distribute ...

The excise tax system was corrupted in order to pick-and-choose who would and who would not grow hemp, and to manage that production with police state actions against the new class of felons -- the poor and itinerant workers of America -- those who were otherwise slaves to alcohol and its poor ability to stave off the misery of their lives.

The tyrants of government aren't satisfied with their taxes, now, and don't even attempt to collect them! Instead, they deny states their constitutional privilege to assume the rights not enumerated to the government and where they have legitimized the medical use of marijuana ... They raid against state law and in the state where this activity is controlled and legal to deny a right they maintain under the constitution; both state and individuals involved!

In this regard, at failing in directing this agency not to f'around with states rights, this administration is just another example of petty tyranny supporting an ancient oligarchy ... and is that what our soldiers are fighting for in Iraq? Anti-constitutional Repression under color of the law ... tax law?

Legalize industrial hemp, w00t!!!

[Seruzawa]

Well. I certainly feel a lot safer now and am glad that the feds are using their personnel and funding for such a worthy purpose.

Suggestion to owners: Now that you're busted, sell the corporate shell to the Chinese.

Yes, it's all a Big Conspiracy by The Man to harsh your buzz and keep you down so The People like, can't recognize that Everything is One, man. Far out.

Remember when this used to be a small government, pro freedom website?

The times, they are a changing.

Yep. Now it’s a small government, pro-freedom except when I want the feds to keep people from doing something that I think is immoral website.

[Wolfie]

Yeah, I fell for that too. It was really just an anti-Clinton website, dressed up with a pro-Constitutional slant. As soon as Bush took office, Feds Uber Alles became the norm.

This is just another example of a Gubmint mindset that reacts to what is citizens are doing.

The way it was told to me was she’d roll him a big fatty of the mad kronik.....then they’d lay around the shanty and get a mad buzz on and rejoice King George wasn’t on their case.
