Pot shop owners in L.A. have even more to be paranoid about these days. Not only is City Hall trying to shut down more than 8 out of 10 shops in L.A., but now feds are threatening to put the medical cannabis business in California out of business for good.
Associated Press reports today that at least 16 weed retailers in California have been ordered to close their doors because of that whole issue of marijuana being illegal on a federal level and all.
President Obama had been giving California's bud retailers a pass in his first few years of office, with his Department of Justice even going so far as to issue a memo telling feds to stand down on enforcement in states where medical pot is legal.
Ah, but there's an election coming up. And Obama's administration has been the source of ominous warnings about the med game. This one was the scariest of all: It essentially declares what we all know: Even if it's legal here, it ain't legal.
