Obama Administration warns Oakland over pot farms.

[Bennyboy]

The Obama administration has warned Oakland over the licensing of four giant pot farms, saying the plan is in violation of state and federal law and could trigger multiple legal actions against the city.
Officials from the Justice Department’s civil division and the U.S. attorney’s office in San Francisco delivered the blunt message to Oakland City Attorney John Russo, according to two officials who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to talk about the meetings.
“The warning is clear: These are illegal, large-scale pot growing operations, with Oakland planning to get a cut of the illicit profits,” said one official.

What is hilarious is that the Taxpayers of CA will be paying for both sides in this case. Billions of dollars all to lawyers.

6. The English language is a rich one, capable of expressing

anything without resorting to crude language. One wonders why more people do not take advantage of its richness. At least this one does.

10. And, sometimes it does not.

11. Yes, as you astutely observe, that *would* be the corollary, which in the manner of corollaries

...doesn't disprove the first point.

13. If you check back on the listing of replies, however, you'll

find that on a privately-owned discussion forum, there are other factors.

14. You've already established how enamored you are of those factors, as well

8. Torturers and Thieves get a pass and ganja smokers get sent to jail.

Grow some weed in America and face long prison terms and financial ruin. Steal BILLIONS from little old ladies on Wall Street and get another yacht. We are taking the definition of "all fucked up" to new levels.

12. Torture and illegal war, a-ok. Medicne for the ill, here comes

Eric the Craven, going after cancer patient's medicine. The people of California have spoken on this time and time again. Eric needs to go after some criminals for a change.

15. The city of Oakland should close all federal buildings, offices

and facilities and declare any federal employee "persona non grata" and escort them to the city line.

Impractical, sure, illegal, probably but geez it would make for great theater and after all, isn't that what most of all government is about these days?
