Federal agents swooped in Monday morning to search Oakland's Oaksterdam University in Oakland, the state's first cannabis industry training school.

Agents with the U.S. Marshals Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Internal Revenue Service's criminal investigation division are searching the university at the corner of 16th Street and Broadway, in the heart of the city's widely recognized downtown cannabis-oriented district, authorities said.

The federal agencies are conducting a joint investigation, she said.

And if the People were to elect a County Sheriff that can Actually read the Constitution, That Sheriff would have stopped this cold by ARRESTING Every Last Person Involved for Subverting the Rights and Privileges of a Free and Independent State. And Yes the Elected County Sheriff is the Highest Law Enforcement Authority in that County, except in times of WAR. And has the absolute Right to Arrest and Prosecute these thugs for Violating State Laws regardless of who they work for. But they won’t, this is California remember.

I thought BHO said the Feds weren’t going to worry about dispensaries, because it was a waste of tax payers money.
In Santa Barbara, CA the Feds have shut down every dispensary, and in Colorado they are not raiding dispensaries but telling banks if they do business with them, they will be shut down.

You disapprove of busting a man whose business has revitalized a section of downtown Oakland and is pouring money into city coffers?

LOL. This war on pot is nothing but another tyrannical scam by the govt.

I have never smoked pot never done illegal drugs - but the war on drugs is a failure and a scam, just like 99% of the govt.

Teaching people to break the law is illegal, yes.

These leftist people should be ashamed of themselves but they have no shame.
