US CA: Feds Announce Medical-Pot Crackdown; Letters Sent To
Record Searchlight, 07 Oct 2011 - Federal prosecutors came down hard on commercial medical marijuana dispensaries on Friday, calling California's massive pot industry a "pervasive, for-profit" enterprise that's making millions in cash selling a federally illegal drug under the guise of medicine. Dozens of medical marijuana dispensaries in the state were sent letters ordering them to shut down in 45 days, while others were warned their owners and landlords face criminal charges or seizure of their assets if they do not comply. It's not yet clear whether any of Redding's 16 collectives were targeted. Federal officials refused to release information about which pot dispensaries were sent letters.
