ZimZam Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) Seems the Feds skipped Oaksterdam and went after WA instead. Police open up Edited November 16, 2011 by Feck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Meh. They only went after the dispensaries that were basically flaunting the state law. The legit dispensaries were left alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I don't see what's so funny about honest people trying to provide medication for patients in good faith under a state system that is notoriously flawed. Â How many dispensaries have you been in, Kev? Curious, since you seem to know so much about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Dispensaries are watched closely. No shit, Sherlock. The smart ones know that, and dot their 'i's and cross their 't' extra special pretty like. Not the best place to distribute weed illegally. Â The dumbshits who 'wing it' fuck it up for the rest. Â That's assuming, of course, that the federal charges have any basis in reality, which is a pretty big assumption. Â Wonder if the dispensary down the street got busted? I've got to run up and check... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZimZam Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Wow. Seems the Seattle po-po had a busy night. I mean between macing ol' ladies and raiding dispensaries. Good times. High Times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 The SPD does have a history... Â ...and that's why their policing practices are currently under review, top to bottom. Clearly, they've taken a wrong turn, somewhere. Â Of course, the militarization of police across the country indicates that the problem isn't very isolated. Â People think the police won't fuck with the old during a demonstration. That's WHO they fuck with...anyone who has zero chance of fighting back. It sends a message...it's less risky...and it's beyond hyper fucked up. Â I love the 'Oh, this (peaceful) demonstration is costing us so much!' argument. Uh...yeah, when you deploy 4 choppers, armored vehicles, 2000 riot cops, and 17 other agencies, um...yeah, that's gonna cost a lot. Wasn't exactly the protesters who ordered up the response, though.

High Times  To be fair, it was the DEA who raided the dispensaries, NOT the SPD. The SPD (and the city prosecutor and the City executives for that matter) has been pretty accommodating towards Seattle dispensaries and patients. Actually, even towards recreational marijuana users.

tvashtarkatena Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Who doesn't love the DEA at this point? Â 40 fighting a trillion dollar War on Drugs - and illegal drugs are cheaper, stronger, used more often by more people than ever. Â Thanks, guys! Keep up the good work!
