Marijuana Crackdown on 36 L.A. County Pot Shops by Feds

Only in California and no other MMJ States:

Federal authorities today announced a crackdown on 36 medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles County, including raids on two shops in Santa Fe Springs and warning letters to 34 businesses and property owners.

Interestingly, the actions did not involve any pot shops in the city of Los Angeles.

In case you're wondering, yes, this is part of that federal crackdown on pot shops in California that has so far seen 220 dispensaries targeted in the U.S. Attorney's Central District of the state alone.
