DEA Continue To Raid Marijuana Sites, Irrespective Of State Laws

[Purveyor]

The Drug Enforcement Administration conducted several raids Wednesday on marijuana dispensaries throughout Washington state, continuing a trend of targeting businesses that are perfectly legal by state government standards but fly in the face of federal drug laws.

DEA spokeswoman Jodie Underwood confirmed the raids occurred, but did not provide any other information, such as the number of dispensaries targeted or the number of search warrants executed.

Seattle medical marijuana attorney Douglas Hiatt said dispensaries targeted by the DEA included Seattle Cross, Tacoma Cross and Bayside Collective in Olympia.

“A client of mine who was talking to a DEA agent was told that there were going to be 18 places raided today up and down the corridor,” Hiatt said to InfoWars.com.

Earlier this year, Underwood said that 41 marijuana dispensaries in Seattle had received warning letters because they were reportedly in violation of state and federal law. Underwood said the letters were part of the DEA’s “on-going comprehensive strategy to combat drug trafficking in coordination with five judicial districts in our area of responsibility.”
