Drug Agents Raid SF Dispensary

March 27th, 2009 by Rick

Doing a complete about face regarding their shift in policy, DEA agents raided Emmalyn’s California Cannabis Clinic in San Francisco. DEA spokeswoman Casey McEnry said the documents regarding the raid are sealed, so the DEA was not able to give any details.

DEA Special Agent in Charge Anthony D. Williams in a written statement:

Based on our investigation we believe there are not only violations of federal law, but state law as well.

Emmalyn’s has a provisional permit from the city, according to Eileen Shields, spokesperson for the San Francisco Department of Public Health, which she said is an indication the club is in good standing with city laws.

Brendan Hallanin, the pot club’s attorney, said Emmalyn’s is in compliance with state and local laws. Hallanin said the DEA would not tell him why the club was being busted.

It’s strange that President Barack Obama’s top law enforcement official, Eric Holder Jr., just last week repeatedly said that the raids of medical marijuana dispensaries would be suspended.

    No doubt… there was some some word on the fact that there were some financial discrepancies within Emmalyn’s. the AG did say that they’d stop raiding the dispensaries that complied with both local and state laws. The medical marijuana issue has been left to DOJ – when it should be a decision made by the state.
