- theNazz, on 04/26/2008, -18/+297The DEA is a shining example of government sponsored theft.
- allieg03, on 04/26/2008, -9/+133Actually, cannabis is perfectly legal with a prescription in California. This was a medicinal marijuana store.
- viciouspictures, on 04/26/2008, -14/+132My first suspicion was gang activity- the wanton destruction of property and theft made sense. If the DEA had reason to suspect the dispensary of illegal activity, they could have constructed a clean search of the premises without smashing all the glass.
- FadieZ, on 04/26/2008, -23/+134***** THE DEA.
Oh, and everybody digg this the ***** up for your liberty's sake. - DDDavinnn, on 04/26/2008, -10/+118"Say, man, you got a weed vending machine?"
"...No, not on me, man."
"It'd be a lot cooler if you did." - FadieZ, on 04/26/2008, -3/+94After undergoing chemo I can proudly say that when it came to nausea, cannabis was 1000x more efficient than all the drugs and needles they gave me combined. If every cancer patient was allowed medical marijuana the government would be saving millions in taxpayer's money that would otherwise go to unnecessarily expensive drugs.
- chawkie, on 04/26/2008, -3/+80I'm guessing that would be the least violent, most confusing, riot of all time.
- brycelb, on 04/26/2008, -9/+76Rioting, really?
- NaziHatinChimp, on 04/26/2008, -16/+82You are not free.
- Diggrock, on 04/26/2008, -13/+71The sad part is, he was heading to legally buy alcohol at his local 7-11, when the pot store was broken in to. Are the DEA to blind to see what's going on? Alcohol is toxic, marijuana isn't, yet the former is the legal one. ***** the DEA.
- rinote, on 04/26/2008, -4/+62Don't steal. The government hates competition.
- allieg03, on 04/26/2008, -42/+94That's just plain wrong. Cannabis is not evil -- it's medicinal and a whole lot better for the people who use it than any pharmaceutical on the market. This is ridiculous. If I lived in LA, I'd be RIOTING.
- Noah0504, on 04/26/2008, -6/+56"The Feds destroyed a perfectly legal California business tonight." Yes, but it's not legal federally. So, they had every right to take it. Look, I'm not arguing about whether pot should be legalized or not, but maybe people should take a bigger stand in trying to get it legalized than yelling "***** the DEA" in a Digg comment and then lighting up a joint to "stick it to the man."
- Kyrgizion, on 04/26/2008, -4/+43"... that would otherwise go to unnecessarily expensive drugs."
And that, my friend, is actually all there's to it. $$$ and more $$$ - iceman0113, on 04/26/2008, -6/+44"Remember, this is a state certified business. It is _legally entitled_ to operate in every way under California law and was doing absolutely nothing wrong." Prop 215 in California.
- SwedishNinja, on 04/26/2008, -8/+45Don't Steal, The Government Hates Competition.
- KMartSheriff, on 04/26/2008, -2/+39IM IN UR SUBURBS
STEALIN UR DOOBIES - inactive, on 04/26/2008, -6/+42Raving? Have you ever smoked pot before?
- NikoKun, on 04/26/2008, -10/+45What a waste of tax dollars, and a horrible crime toward state's rights...
***** DEA... Get out of the states that legalized it!!! There is absolutely no reason to be fighting Marijuana. It only causes more problems, and further unnecessarily restricts our freedoms. - mCanada, on 04/26/2008, -6/+41Your suspicion was right. The gang wore "DEA" on their jackets.
- Ajajadude, on 04/26/2008, -1/+36Just giving the feds more ammunition and the ability to say "Pot smokers aren't dangerous? They just rioted!"
- inactive, on 04/26/2008, -0/+35Unless you're raving about an extremely delicious pizza.
- danio, on 04/26/2008, -13/+46“Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural?” ~ Bill Hicks
- iceman0113, on 04/26/2008, -2/+31Watch Super High Me, apparently they can do so and in one instance they showed up with a warrant that was _not_ signed by a judge and proceeded to take down a business.
- choopie911, on 04/26/2008, -2/+30The fact that they still haven't figured something out baffles me. It's legal by state law, but illegal by federal law, so the DEA can do things like this and both parties are technically not doing anything illegal. Get it together already.
- inactive, on 04/26/2008, -14/+41Damn those Feds, the DEA and Bush's War on Drugs. They should rot in hell, there are people who actually NEED medical marijuana - What this government is doing is illegal
- isaactwito, on 04/26/2008, -4/+29Agreed, raving is not what pot is for.
- holygram, on 04/26/2008, -19/+44You'd be rioting over a pot machine?
I think you need to get your priorities straight. - ericthegreat, on 04/26/2008, -10/+33I'm sorry to say but the federal government still has jurisdiction over the country and can execute their laws. They are well within their right to do such. If you are against laws that prohibit minor drugs then you must talk to your congressional and senate representatives. Quit bitching and work to change the law!
- origin, on 04/27/2008, -1/+23I think when a government organization's behavior starts to look like "Gang Activity" we have a serious problem with our government.
- choopie911, on 04/26/2008, -5/+26Remember though, marijuana is a gateway drug not alcohol, that's impossible.
- atact88, on 04/26/2008, -2/+23Um. No.
State laws must fit under the umbrella of federal law. The Articles of Confederation gave states much more power (a Confederacy), but the United States nearly fell apart under that agreement, and thus in 1786, the Constitution was written to form a strong, cohesive nation under a federal government.
Medicinal marijuana has always been a point of contention because it conflicts with federal law.
*sigh* Americans don't even know America anymore. - Lynxplus, on 04/26/2008, -2/+23Not to discredit Bush and his war loving ways, but this war on drugs was started by the Reagan administration if I'm not mistaken.
- inactive, on 04/26/2008, -1/+22I think a big part of the reason it's considered a 'gateway drug' is due to the fact that you have to find the people who sell it, who probably sell other things and push those on people as well. But having legal businesses that only sells marijuana would take out most of that problem. But that's just a cop out, the real reason is that they have pills that they can market to people instead of using a natural plant. If our government was in control maybe things would be different, but it's the corporations and pharmaceuticals that have the power now.
- inactive, on 04/26/2008, -11/+30NEWSFLASH: federal law trumps state law. seeds are illegal and so is growing it. federal law
or am i wrong? - scy1192, on 04/26/2008, -12/+30haha, breaking. I see what you did there.
- danarama, on 04/26/2008, -2/+20ok anyone who calls for rioting over weed has no clue what the issue is about or is intentionally trying to incite a riot...don't even bother with that *****
- acetv, on 04/26/2008, -4/+22/boring
for those who did. - boredrph, on 04/26/2008, -6/+24wouldn't federal law trump the state law here... so no matter how much California wants it to be legal... still not... Now, philisophically I completely support state rights to allow whatever they want to be legal actually be legal... to bad it doesn't work that way
- whiledo, on 03/25/2009, -0/+17Cheetos supplies would be decimated.
- codyman, on 04/26/2008, -5/+22Fact: Federal Law (in this case - marijuana - illegal on the federal level) overrides State Law (California Medicinal Marijuana) --> DEA (Federal) upholds Federal Law...
- FranksValli, on 04/27/2008, -0/+17"What's that one guy doing over there by himself, mommy?"
"He's rioting, son" - thatsmyaibo, on 04/26/2008, -2/+19I caught it and still buried you.
- smurfsahoy, on 04/26/2008, -1/+18Wonderful, except you can eat marijuana, or vaporize the THC in it, or make it into butter, etc. etc., none of which have any cancerous smoke effects.
- isaactwito, on 04/26/2008, -1/+17While most of what NikoKun said was true, there's no way we can be successful in convincing people of this if we use violent tactics (except in self defense). Also it's important to remember that the government is not, as pretty much never has been, for the good of the people, it is for the good of the government and for the companies who buy into it.
- origin, on 04/27/2008, -1/+17IM IN UR LIFE
STEALIN UR LIBERTIEZ - pell, on 04/26/2008, -7/+23Its cutting into drug company profits, it's gotta go!
- tbom, on 04/26/2008, -17/+32I also question the claim that the DEA did it. Why would they smash a window with a fence behind it? (also see the picture in this article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22910820/ )
This smells like a fabrication. - tech42er, on 04/26/2008, -3/+17"If the DEA had reason to suspect the dispensary of illegal activity, they could have constructed a clean search of the premises without smashing all the glass."
Sure, but they're not going to. They're trying to send a message and showcase their power. Did they have to destroy the property? Of course not, but they can and they wanted to, because they're *****. ***** 'em. -
