Federal authorities opened the latest front in their war on California's massive medical
marijuana industry this week, filing property forfeiture
lawsuits in a bid to shut down three dispensaries and sending
warning letters to 34 people.
The moves by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles are
the latest in an ongoing crackdown on what federal prosecutors
say is a flourishing network of illegal cannabis suppliers
operating across California under the cover of the state's
medical marijuana law.
Authorities have now targeted more than 220 dispensaries --
deemed "marijuana stores" by prosecutors -- or indoor
cultivation houses in the seven-county Central District of
California alone, U.S. Attorney's spokesman Thom Mrozek said.
Most have been closed or are facing eviction or have been
the subject to additional federal law enforcement actions, he
said. The Central District of California represents the largest
federal law enforcement jurisdiction in the country.
