DEA SEIZES POT FROM MEDICAL MARIJUANA OPERATION

ROSEVILLE, Calif. - Federal Drug Enforcement agents say their medical
marijuana raid in Roseville should send a message to every other
medical pot operation in California, that they're breaking federal
law.

Of course, state law allows for medical marijuana possession and
distribution to sick people, and a federal appeals court has said that
federal authorities lack the power to go after these medical marijuana
shops in California.

But the U.S. Justice Department has appealed that ruling to the
Supreme Court, and meanwhile, the D-E-A isn't slowing down.

Hundreds of plants were seized in Friday's raid of Capitol
Compassionate Care. The owner, Richard Marin, says he doesn't think he
was doing anything wrong. But the case is being referred to the U.S.
attorney's office in Sacramento for possible criminal charges.
