ROSEVILLE, Calif. - Federal Drug Enforcement agents say their medical marijuana raid in Roseville should send a message to every other medical pot operation in California, that they're breaking federal law.
Of course, state law allows for medical marijuana possession and distribution to sick people, and a federal appeals court has said that federal authorities lack the power to go after these medical marijuana shops in California.
But the U.S. Justice Department has appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court, and meanwhile, the D-E-A isn't slowing down.
Hundreds of plants were seized in Friday's raid of Capitol Compassionate Care. The owner, Richard Marin, says he doesn't think he was doing anything wrong. But the case is being referred to the U.S. attorney's office in Sacramento for possible criminal charges.
