[smoky281]

RON PAUL END THE DRUG WAR STOP THE RAIDS

[DoobiePro420]

for all of you fuck ass law enforcement fucks, fuck you and your family. Leave our Compassion Clubs alone!

[peterpotpie]

What can you say..... ? Ignorance seems to be winning.

[glass509]

fuck the dea

[TovarishOne]

Maybe they wouldn't sound so incriminating if they wouldn't call them "clubs". But rather, "clinics".

[gabba1gabba1hey]

haha dumb fucking stoners cant even yell at the DEA in unison, how the fuck are they going to fight them?

[botchalism]

Yo my dick is dry, I need you to suck my dick yo.

[NthingToLose]

Yaay for police state,, FFkrs

[Yankerdoo]

i definitely think that addiction runs deeper in some people than in others. I smoked pot every weekend after I was done schoolwork in college, but I stopped 3 weeks before finals so I could study, I ended up getting a 3.2 that semester. I had absolutely no problem stopping, no loss of sleep, nothing.

[86touge]

"pot clubs", haha cute

[boomer226]

ok the person beneath me is a dumbass. these are medical marijuana clubs. which means its a safe environment for the ill to help releave extreme amounts of pain. it doesnt matter if its san francisco, denver, or oklahoma city. lets see your trying to sound smart dumbass get terminal cancer and see who ends up in a weed club. dumb son of a bitch.

[athlonz2007]

it might be the best thing we would ever legalize. and please be patient, like all war for peace, it take times and victims.

[molanlabexm15]

Go figure the peace pussies in San Francisco are losing in a war.The war on drugs even.1. The club is located on a public street.2.DEA has stated they will go after the clubs.3.The patients are angry when it is raided. Ahh gee oh no!My weed is gone well too motherfucking bad that what you get when your the most self hating facist city in America who rather have Mamoud or Chavez in charge.Well if they the forethought to keep their state legal club a secret they wouldnt have this problem.

[anthonychrisbradley]

uh, whats it bieng on a public street gotta do with anything. i see pharmacy's, liqour stores and smoke shops on public streets. all of them filled with drugs

[daschemeier]

We as a people are getting smoke and mirrors over this issue.... Leave the medical clubs alone!!!

DEA and Pre. Obama stop telling the US people one thing and then doing the other.....

Sounds alot like our last Pre.....

[jamesy8poo]

"you can't not come in this building"

seems to me like all of those people there were either patients or supporters.

now what i would like to know is how can some one who's never been there before, never conducted any business step in and tell consumers they can not enter?

as one human being to another, they have no say i what other human beings do with there lifes, I've never seen a cannabis smoker bring violence into this world.

[Jumanji0028]

lol

[shas1814]

Obama did NOT

"suggest that it would ease up on such actions."

He promised there would be no more DEA raids

of Medical Marijuana dispensaries!

Is he going to be another Puppet President?

[fucthepolicecominstr]

i was just considering that as a possibility as well

and damn those protesters are pussies standing there and just watching while their friend got robbed

[TDude695]

Oh please. The alternative was to start a riot against the DEA, and how do you think that would look on the news? "Angry potheads riot during medical marijuana raid". The only thing they could do without becoming an argument against legalization was peacefully protest. Then there's that whole bit about the DEA being well trained and armed federal agents while the protesters are all normal people who disagree with government policy. I'm not sure what else they could do other than ignore the raid.

[keetup98]

Good job DEA! Down with evil marijuana and its' potheads.

[TDude695]

Yeah, arrest the people who smoke pot. After all, it has such horrible effects as making you tired and making everything become interesting while simultaneously protecting against lung cancer and being non-physically addictive. Clearly this is far worse than alcohol, which destroys your liver, physically addicts you, and feeds aggression all at once.

Try learning a bit about something before you call it "evil". You might be surprised when people don't look at you like you're an idiot anymore.

[GrimReeferSOAD]

im on your side but dont lie and say that shit protects against lung cancer and it is addictive if you smoke every day trust me i know

[jamesy8poo]

it is not addictive, addictive means your doing something you CAN'T stop, i smoke everyday because i enjoy the quality of life.

end of story.

stop this spreading of ignorance

[GrimReeferSOAD]

if you smoke everyday then quite for a week ill bet you ten bucks you will think about that shit everyday

[Sptfire4100]

Ive smoked everyday for about 6 years and whenever im dry, it could be a week before i get to smoke up. The only problem i had was going to sleep, thats it. I hardly thought about it.

[GrimReeferSOAD]

your a liar, ive smoked everyday for 2 years and when i run out that first day without it sucks, and the second day is worse. for some reason everyone thinks weed is flawless but its not. its still semi addictive if you smoke every day via sleep loss, loss of apetite or just not wanting to do anything just for the first couple of days. if thats not at least mental addiction what is?

[Sptfire4100]

YOU are the liar. People have different addictive tendencies. I smoke a pack a day for a good 4 years, quit cold turkey no problem. I dont have an addictive personality. Smoking bud everyday doesnt get me addicted at all. Like i said, when i quit, i only have problems falling asleep. If anything, i eat more when im not stoned.

[GrimReeferSOAD]

a pack a day for 4 years and you just quit out of the blue no lookin back and you call me a liar. first off dont tell me cigs aint addictive either. maybe i should rephrase the word addictive to habit forming. when you do something every day and stop doing it no matter what it is (especially a mind altering substance) its called a habit. i have a weed habit im not saying thats wrong but its still a bad habit

[wesleytj]

yeah!!! system of a down. as for addiction it varies from person to person. breaking habit irks me aswell as to others i can quit anything i do if i can make it three days, then my mind is off it.

[MiClLC]

I don't think about smoking weed everyday. I think about going to work to put in my 40 hours a week and make sure to pay my bills on time. And I smoke weed everyday :)

[anthonychrisbradley]

really? when im out of weed i just do something else to do instead of smoking. its not physically addictive, and only mentally addictive to 30 % of users

[GrimReeferSOAD]

i never said it was physically addictive but your lying if you say you dont think about it when you dont have it. when i dont have i loose sleep and my apetite is pretty much gone for the first couple days. i love smoking weed but your crazy if you think that shit is good for you, any kind of drug is bad for you its just to what extent.

[chrslbrt]

@TDude695 Correction idiot. Being tired and getting behind the wheel means car accidents. Being tired and operating sensitive machinery could mean people could get killed. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with that. Also, even though there was a study positively linking it to lung cancer, it has been proven repeatedly that it increases chances of other cancers, especially brain cancer. Also, it is an addictive drug. I'm not advocating alcohol, but marijuana is a drug and is illegal for a reason!

[tbrais]

Ok you're an idiot, tell me what am I suppose to do, when I had 5 15 hour back surgeries when I was 18 (im 26 now) have have been on vicodin for 9 years, and now vicodin/pain killers don't do anything, I'm in so much pain I can't hold a job? rather to soak up tax payers money and go on disability, I choose to bite the bullet, and smoke pot so I can work, and contribute to this society. You're just an ignorant asshole

[highlanddan]

fuck obama he thinks its a fucking joke. we have a president that laughs at suggestions to fix our economy and shit. but yet because hes the 1st black president hes fucking awsome to the popluation. america stop being racist stop looking at the fact that he is black and look at what he is doing.

[airborne373]

Sorry this happened but Obama's supporters just got a taste of the "Obama Deception."

[airborne373]

These DEA are nothing but "highway men."

[dasnasdi]

Obama promised change...yeah right.

[ZombieRabite]

I thought the government is supposed to be of the people, for the people, and by the people. So why are the people shouting in anger and disgust at the government? Clearly the government has to change, RIGHT NOW, before people get REALLY pissed and turn against the government entirely. Don't think that it can't happen here. This issue is not the only instance of the government chipping away at our liberties.

[ZombieRabite]

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. ... ... ... The tree of liberty must be refreshed from

time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." - Thomas Jefferson

[Sptfire4100]

Another Civil war perhaps....

[MrSokitumi]

Im goin to exercise my 1st amendment right to say , FEDERAL PIGS PEWY ON YOU MAY ALL YOUR KIDS GROW UP TO BE HEROIN ADDICKS MUAHAHAHA SINCE YER CIA BRINGS HEROIN TO AMERICA FOR PHARMACUTICAL COMPANIES OH AND VIAGRA KILLED MY DAD AND METHADOAN KILLED MY BROTHER SO F U

[Fockersnextdoor]

Obama ordered these raids ya dumbclucks, FEDS flex power over the states and your reps stood by and watched.

[highart2003]

Just like how Clinton kept a pot friendly image while he put a nazi in as drug czar.

[highwaysong007]

this is a ploy to distract people from g20, ACTA and the conficker worm... sad though... poor sick people just trying to get treatment. Stupid crackheads and junkies trying to exploit a good thing and ruin it. DEA Agents will be arrested after the revolution for aiding and abetting, accesory to conspiracy, theft, etc....

[DUKEXIV]

ya and what about the medical heroin,meth and crack that we needs

ya gona take aways all da booze with the weeds?

grass is for sissy's who just bitch and complain

try taking some real dope,instead of "acting' insane

San Fran is full of fairies, idiots,fools and buffoons

who love to smoke dope with greaseballs and coons

[0pteryx]

I'm getting tired of clowns like you. Go away.

[ho2cultcha]

there are a LOT of people who are employed to fight marijuana 'crimes'. those people got very scared when obama said a few words which put all their justifications for a paycheck in jeopardy. this bust is them pushing back - probably having convinced the feds that it was justified.

[mraevirdomil]

President Obama is wrong on this issue.

It was by far the most asked question and he/they treated it like a joke... BULLSHIT!!!!!

2012 - I WILL VOTE FOR WHOEVER IS FOR THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA.

[lathzz]

WOW! First I see Obama LAUGH at us on national televison. Now I learn that Obamas promise to halt DEA raids was also a JOKE.

This is both infuriating and depressing. What an asshole. I cant tell you Mr. Obama how dissapointed I am in you. At least I didnt WASTE my vote on you.

I think its time to march on Corporate Washington and remind them who theyre supposed to be working for.

[nickyjam305]

FUCK OBAMA

WHAT A HYPOCRITE

[RussellsParadox]

@nickyjam305 "Oh, right, whole hopey-changey-thing.. uuuuh, yeah, 4 years wasn't enough, you'll have to re-elect me."

[TheLostRepublic]

how much money gets wasted doing this shit? why the fuck doesnt the dea spend their time trying to bust crack or heroine or fucking PCP.

with shit like PCP out there i have no clue why the fuck the gov't even cares about marijuana.

you hear stories of people on PCP that get shot more than TEN FUCKING TIMES and still are going after the police. and they are worrying about someone that is smoking pot.

when the fuck did this country go so wrong?

bumboklaats

[JayyRidd420]

what the fuck obama.

[neveruse513]

it makes me so mad!

[pierceddana]

thank you for reporting

[dontkeepthisname]

I don't get it...

Can someone explain.

If it's legal, then why do they raid them?

[fsamuels]

It is legal under state law but still illegal under federal law. These are raids by the federal government.

[dontkeepthisname]

Ohhh.

Well that's bullshit!

[fuckinghellyoutwat]

but the president and the attorney general said that the raids would stop on those not violating state law, and under california state law it's legal to sell cannabis for medical purposes.

[SeekerLikeMe]

I propose that all dispensaries which are in compliance with both local and state law implement plans of action should they be targeted. Something akin to chaining yourself to a tree. We need to stand up for ourselves and not let this shit happen with our mouths closed. I got it! All dispensaries get together and create a network of activists who can be called on any time if a bust is occurring. Preferably hundreds of people. Flood the streets with people, don't let the DEA leave. DRAW ATTENTION

[Nameless827]

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING THIS?!

DONT PEOPLE HAVE COMPASSION OR ANY SENSE OF HUMANITY??

Many of these people DEPEND on their medicine, and marijuana IS the only thing that works. The pharmaceutical drugs just make you sick and withdrawal. You know you have bad morals when you take people to jail for attempting to cope with their disease. Especially when their medicine is proven non-harmful, and is less addictive than caffeine. yet we continue to prescribe morphine, oxycontin, etc. THEYRE OK!!

[vlady8me]

So, who's in charge Attorney General Eric Holder? You or DEA Special Agent in Charge Anthony Williams? Whats the deal?

[39Hool]

It looks like the DEA is now supporting Mexican drug lords.

[lathzz]

The DEA has ALWAYS supported Mexican drug lords. But not just there. Worldwide baby. It all goes back to Wall Street & major financial interests. Our "government" is one gigantic, Narco-terrorist State. Has been for at least 50 yrs. Probably longer.

[mraevirdomil]

This is plain BULLSHIT!

President Obama - wrong on marijuana. (President Obama: "LOL")

Legalize it NOW!

[roberteckerson]

I told you so. Only Ron Paul would have brought real "change".

[JRLLUnd]

I wonder if the DEA knows what the 10th amendment says...

[megaminxmaster]

it goes to show you that obama is a fuck head. he said they would stop raids,but they continued anyway. obama is nothing more than a socialist fuck that will bankrupt america. i am a HUGE supporter of pot and all it's benefits, but for you people to be so nieve like this is sad.

[ANGLEBOOT]

wrong mega, he said he'll check into slowing the raids down, not all out stop them. Then as he said, "check into". Maybe after checking into it he found it's better to keep the raids going.

He'll always crack down on those that don't operate in accordance with state law. As this one was not.

[ConnorBonnor80]

did you not just here them say they were cooperating with both local AND state law?

[ANGLEBOOT]

All it would take is just one pot plant to many.

[megaminxmaster]

good call

[khanh101]

FUCK you DEA

[ErichoTTA]

Very powerful stuff.  It's great to see people protest against this.

[itsdontay]

STATES RIGHTS

[StinkingHombre]

If you're going to Obamatard town. Be sure to wear some hemp in your hair. If you're going to Obamatard town. You're going to meet the DEA there. For those who come to Obamatard town. Springtime will be a love in there. In the streets of Obamatard town. DEA busting people with hemp flowers there. All across the nation the Obamatard vibration. DEA in motion. No explanation for Obama's desecration. DEA in motion DEA in motion For those who come to Obamatard town. Hide the hemp in your hair!

[megaminxmaster]

nice poem. people who actually believed that obama would actually stop DEA raids are crazy.

[frankenblunt]

This country needs to get it's piorities straight.

[badjer1785]

DEA GO AWAY!!!

[yougoandgo]

bust a crack house you pussies!

[zapponsalvia]

Fuck the DEA

[outloud96]

the feds have way to much power over the states...

[MichaeljosephRuscito]

SCUMBAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SERVE AND PROTECT HUH?? SCUMBAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Government wants us all to take their poison fucking medication....FUCK THE FEDS AND THE DEA. SCUMBAGS ARE RUINING PEACEFUL PEOPLES LIVES.

[Havenfall]

Yeah, our policies and law enforcement individuals are becoming harmful to society.

[MooseOfReason]

Good rhymes there.

[Orlevikings11]

I know that ppl are losing thier jobs cuz of the economy and the U.S is losing money too and im sure obama has plenty of things to take care of some probably more important than this but still he made a promise and its not like he doesn't know that we want it legal. he needs to focus cuz if he waits to take care of this till the end of his presidencey then he might as well kiss his reelection goodbye.

[ANGLEBOOT]

LOL it sure wasn't a bunch of potheads that put him in office.

now that was some funny shit.

[munkyboi]

ok either the DEA went against president's obamas orders or the dispensary really did do something illegal.

Maybe the employees sold to non-patients, or maybe the DEA did it without permission of the president. If they did they are going to be indited.

I hope obama didn't betray us, other wise the american people are going to impeach him. Hopefully hes impeached if he doesn't live up to his promises.

[ANGLEBOOT]

First it wasn't an order, second, he did say he would easy up not stop all raids.

and I really don't think a handfull of dopers can do nothing more than whine and cry about it.

[DurBanPoison420uh]

a handfull? you mean 90million... marijuana community has made so much progress, you just dont hear about it because people care more about our economic crisis. things will soon change, bird shit..

[ANGLEBOOT]

90 million world wide. Pot heads tend to still count people that died 20 years ago.

[JstNEarthling]

90,000,000 world wide what?? Or should I say what's 90,000,000 world wide?

[ANGLEBOOT]

Now that's something i'm really taking notice to. Just about everyone that wants pot legal are atheist. Or as what they really are Satan worshipers. Then that makes more sense. And Satan worshipers comes in many ages,races,ect..

[JstNEarthling]

I just bet you are ,after all you think you're an angel already, goofy. Anyway you really don't get it because if you did you'd realize that the devil and your god are one and the same,both myths from your religion which we don't have...get it now stupid?

[ANGLEBOOT]

And you are the dumb one that thinks it was my God that told me not to smoke pot. no it was from the loss of 3 jobs back when jobs were had to come by. All within a 30 days time.

But it does take an atheist to bring God into a DEA Raid video.

[chicagoken]

"Meet the new boss same as the old boss".

We won't be fooled again.

[BongLoadzz]

This is bullshit. I wonder what Obama has to say about this because of right now i feel betrayed.

[TheChubbyKid]

I am surprised riots haven't occurred yet.

No one will listen until something tragic happens.

[bofana]

I don't know if you smoke weed but who the fuck could be bothered protesting stoned lol

[CliveSinclairZX]

obama is a fucking bitch.

change my ass, fuck change.

this makes me furious

[graciefighterz]

Our own citizens are dying near the border due to mexican drug cartel violence and here we are wasting time raiding a place that had a permit with the city to operate. This place provides medicine for the sick and dying, it should not be getting raided.

[Dilliboy63]

fucking hell... I feel sorry for the patients who wont be able to get their medicine now

[davbowrock]

What happened to the tenth amendment? The constitution is being ignored and nobody is doing anything about it.

[IndIka024]

look out for the thugs that wear the letters D, E and A. They are the most dangerous gang in the country, they have the right to kill, confinscate, and incarcerate.

[empbac]

I KNEW IT!!

Nothing has changed. Swapping out politicians is like rearranging the furniture. People are in charge, but those people are corruptible. It's the system that has to change, not the people. But since they don't want to give up the throne, the system will not change. You have to take away from them what they have stolen from you, and I don't mean that you should go vote... Voting doesn't work. It never will. It's the nature of the game.

[tonemenolc]

What a shame. I was hoping Obama wouldn't be a liar like the rest of them. I'm losing faith too.

[Gromlich666]

This is ridiculous...

And pisses me off.

To think I had faith in Obama

[dukeoforegon]

Cannabis can cure some forms of cancer Cannabis is a miracle plant.

[michael091703]

A change we can believe in. Fuck Obama!

[blackboydavis]

FUCK YOU micheal

[michael091703]

No Fuck You black boy.. You clearly have the intelligence of a nutty Turd coming out my ass...

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

The DEA & others who make a living off of the "war on drugs" are essentially all on welfare. One day these people (good & bad) will have to get REAL jobs as opposed to government subsidized "make-work". I hope that day is soon. The same could be said for the tax code.

Sure, there is big left govt., but since the 60s, THIS "war" has been big RIGHT govt. Either way - a complete WASTE of our tax dollars! Whether one chooses to use or not use (marijuana, alcohol, pharmaceuticals) is irrelevant.

[ss4vegeta1]

Legalize it NOW!!! Save the USA! and End the Drug War!

[Jpeezy1983]

this is retarded! What the hell Dea!

[eurabio]

Thinking that a president will be a sort of hero and solve the problems of a country is simply childish. Yes like a little kid whos father solves him everything.

Every election is the same, the same people with their same childish hope. Also saying that ignorant McCain would have been better is so inmature as if there was a "good" guy.

The owners of the country will not do harakiri, they will ALWAYS put someone in their interests. It's time to grow up and do something for yourself!

[st4nd4u]

i actually do believe McCain would have been better off for us. Not saying he would have been a better president as we all know thats not true in any regards. However i feel McCain would have been more easily opposed giving us more time to fight the unstoppable forth coming future.

[teklife]

i don't get it. they said that the dea wouldn't say why they were there, and that they were following state and local laws. if that's the case, then the DEA are basically commiting a crime of burglary. couldn't the dispensary owners have called the local police who are supposed to enforce the laws within their jurisdiction??

[eurabio]

As your late George Carlin said "America is Tyranny" maybe you will start getting it.

[JRLLUnd]

Obama needs to take the issue of Marijuana / Hemp much more seriously.

[soicuw]

but I thought Obama the messiah was going to bring CHANGE and HOPE!

[michaelahenderson]

LOL

[eurabio]

hope your kidding :)

[badjer1785]

"dont use your drugs, use our (aka alcohol and pharmacuticals that are PAYING us)

obama is SO DISAPPOINTING

[st4nd4u]

don't these morons know that the DEA IS listening to Obama??? They are doing what they were told to do simple as that.

[eurabio]

of course

[RexNunc]

Whatever the losers at D.C. say, just reverse it, and that's what we see.

They never tell the truth, and ALWAYS do the opposite of what they say theyre going to do.

You'd think that the People would stand up for themselves, but sadly, we live in a nation of flouridated pussies, that cannot think for themselves.

Thanks America for being completely inept at running your own lives. Now people like me have to suffer the consequences of your ignorance.

Party on, dudes. Better hurry up though.

[ForeverC00l]

Another lying politician? No way! . . . .

[SheepDogProductions]

This is the way I see it. There is a law prohibiting the DEA from doing what they just did, they came anyways. Now, they are legally permitted to come if a state law is violated, it is also the LAW to inform the people you are raiding as to WHY you are raiding them( Something they did not do). How should Americans handle a bunch of bandits, and outlaws (essentially what the DEA is now), destroying your business and livelihood?

[NatureLegalized]

Stop the madmen & women enForcement ghouls. End All drug prohibition immediately.

[zombiechaddy]

You think Obama's going to bring "Change" to this issue? Think again:

watch?v=-GXQ4xSgIuY

[thatchnatch]

its just the DEA flexing its muscles. You know there's a bigwig saying "fuck Obamas policies I run the DEA."

[Unstoppable911]

They sold Cannabis to undercover police without doctors note

[demented669]

and you know this how ? they didn't say that in the news report or even the DEA didn't tell the owner of the show why they were there

[BarefootRadio]

obama is either a liar or not 'really' in charge of what he supposedly is in charge of!

[odom602]

duh, aren't they entitled to know why their being busted? isn't that a law in itself? what the fuck?

[777CARL777]

Obama is a lying politician!!!

[MooseOfReason]

That's redundant, Carl.

[ReallyPsilly]

End Cannabis prohibition.
