and it's not just about Ca., they've closed dispensaries here in Washington state too. The DOJ has sent letters threatening to jail state employees and confiscate property. Obama's people have been all over the MMJ states. Pretending it isn't happening doesn't make it go away. At least the DA out of Boulder is one Colorado resident who isn't in denial about the crackdown. He had this to say to the Feds in March:

"I can see no legitimate basis in this judicial district to focus the resources of the United States government on the medical marijuana dispensaries that are otherwise compliant with Colorado law or local regulation," Garnett wrote in the letter to Colorado U.S. Attorney John Walsh. "The people of Boulder County do not need Washington, D.C., or the federal government dictating how far dispensaries should be from schools, or other fine points of local land-use law."
