My buddy was at a Medical Pot Club while it got raided...

He says the DEA burst in with a battering ram. They had assualt rifles. They shot 3 people and killed 1 dog during this raid.

He said he just dropped to the floor. His words:

"I realized that like they are using paramilitary attacks against their own people. Sick people for that matter. There were people in wheelchairs who dropped [to] the floor."

Here is the cocksmoking DEAs official masturbatory announcement:

I guess I won\'t be getting that "Green Cross" hoodie in the mail

Your friend was there?

Raiding pot clubs in CA is really dumb, as the local zoning/state laws allow for their existence.  The federal govt does not recognize them and still occasionally goes after these establishments.  

We have bigger fish to fry in Oakland; the police resources could be desperately used in many other ways.

I\'m mostly worried about the dog.

Sounds like this was a little different than a typical medial marijuana facility. I don\'t know much about how all of that works though so I probably shouldn\'t say a thing.

Glad your friend is ok!

Well that story says the raid was not on a medical pot club but rather a factory and residences of people associated w/ said factory. No where did it say they raided a medical pot club.

Medical pot clubs and marijuana candy factories are 2 totally different entities.

I can see the DEA bustin\' up a factory type place as described but a Medical pot club?
When they came down here and cleaned up a bunch of Medical clubs it was rather civilized no assault rifles or battering rams though there was a dog or 2.

It was a club. Yeah they made some of their own ***** food on site, so the DEA calls it a "factory". Looks better in a press release I guess.

Yeah that\'s kind of what I was thinking, but I don\'t have a lot of info on the subject.

Well they were blowing it with any type of growing or manufacturing on site.
