In the latest move of the Obama Administration’s incomprehensible attack on medical marijuana, U.S. attorneys announced today that they will begin to prosecute media outlets that publish advertisements for medical marijuana! It seems that when it comes to medical marijuana users, or the states in which they live for that matter, the Bill of Rights means practically nothing.

First, there was the memo released by the ATF this month warning firearms dealers that it was against the law to sell guns or ammunition to medical marijuana patients, effectively eliminating the Second Amendment rights of hundreds of thousands of patients in states where medical marijuana is legal. Then on Friday, when the U.S. attorneys from California unveiled their intent to shut down the medical marijuana industry and drive patients into the hands of gangs and other illicit dealers, they said that one of their core tactics was to intimidate landlords and property owners who rent to dispensaries by threatening them with seizure of their assets. While this may not be a direct violation of the law (unfortunately), it certainly treads on the spirit of the Fourth Amendment’s protections of life, liberty, and property. Now, those same attorneys are stomping on the First Amendment as well.

It kind of boggles the mind that they are starting this enforcement during the ramp up to the election season. They must be feeling quite confident at this time. Or perhaps they want a Republican to start another war.

Any law enforcement officers who enforce unconstitutional (unlawful) laws are violating their Oath of Office. Sheriffs have authority over the feds except under the limited circumstances in the Constitution... and they need to be showing these thugs the door!

Absolutely, however the flow of federal money to LE agencies has them fully subservient to the federal government. The sheriff won't get the armored personnel carrier or stock of full-auto carbines if he defies the federal government.

Hell they want to prosecute you for even having an electronic conversation about getting together and smoking a joint in Amsterdam. Anyone that does not see that the crack down and end game has begun either has their blinders on or their head so far up their ass they can't see the daylight.
