Way to change California from a blue state to a Libertarian state, Holder.

No worries, though. It's only 55 electoral votes and Los Angeles and San Francisco are responsible for a lot of the blue votes.

Not only are medical marijuana dispensaries godsends for people with conditions and illnesses like cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma and chronic pain, but they are also job creators. So, they are being shut down and the inventory confiscated.


And the head of the FDA absolutely refuses to say that heroin is a worse drug or a higher enforcement priority than medicinal marijuana.

Wonderful enforcement priorities, Holder, and fantastic political timing, too!

Feds raid Los Angeles pot shops

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- The federal government has taken its first large-scale action against medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles, the U.S. attorney's office said.

Federal agents raided several cannabis shops and issued warning letters to dozens of others on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"We couldn't do all of L.A. at once," said spokesman Thom Mrozek. "There's just too many stores."

1. Their priorities suck.
The banks run roughshod over the nation but they focus on pot growers and medical dispensaries.

2. I did love the bit about a pot trade school, though.
