LA medical marijuana shops ban: City Council wants DEA's help

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles City Council wants the federal Drug Enforcement Administration's help in the crackdown on medical marijuana dispensaries.

The council voted unanimously last month to ban virtually all dispensaries. In another vote on Wednesday, the council decided to ask the Los Angeles Police Department to work with DEA officials to create a strategy to enforce the ban.

After all the Bull this City has done against Safe access for Patients..
Even taking those Dispensaries huge Fees and tax money to allow some to operate..
This what Those Officials really want..
Especially when they are getting their Asses handed to them in the Courts for defying the States law entirely all this time...

God, this is getting absurd. Our justice dept. is so out of control. DEA busting for medicinal pot. FBI raiding peace/occupy activists.

T'was ever thus, but it's time for a change. Real change, not the bullshit change that we wound up with.
