In 2009, Deputy Attorney General David Ogden, presumably speaking on behalf of the newly inaugurated Barack Obama, issued the so-called Ogden memo, instructing federal prosecutors to not target medical-marijuana patients..... "Do you intend to carry this all the way through forfeiture?" Guilford asked U.S. Attorney Greg Parham. "Yes, absolutely, your honor," Parham responded. "The only evidence in this case is a $37 purchase of medical marijuana and an anonymous comment on a website that anybody could have written," Pappas says. "For this, they want to take a $1.5 million building."

Wow. There’s only one thing to do about this.
Legalize all drugs so this never happens again.

DEA is just another out-of-control federal agency under Tyrant Obama.
Selective enforcement is one of the characteristics of Tyranny.

Oh puh-leeez. The DEA has been an out-of-control Federal agency for decades. It shouldn't have taken Barack Obama to get people to notice that. You don't think these abuses went on under Bush -- or Reagan? Think again.
People demanded a police state and they got a police state. According to folks 'round these parts, it's all fine as long as we have the 2nd Amendment. I guess they'll start shooting people when the DEA comes for their property? That'll end well.
Thanks for telling me that they won. Now if some of those people the EPA are going after for having a mud puddle will win their case property rights may still have a chance.
BATF, EPA, DEA = ALL NUTTY, CONSTITUTION-HATING VENGEFUL LIBRARIANS.
Why? They have been using speed Cameras for government revenue enhancement for years now.
When you live in a country ruled by a fascist like Obama you learn to expect anything.

“... Use a $37 Pot Sale to Seize a $1.5 Million Anaheim Building...”
That looks like a good way to make a nice profit. Where do I invest?

LOL; us peons can’t ever make a profit like that
I would say they made up that right, not found it.
Seems rather simple...don’t rent to an illegal drug operation.

No chit, especially if you’ve been saving up for retirement all these years. And now this stuff!
The real question has become "How long are we going to tolerate these vermin in positions of authority?"
I have no doubt. I also note that in some states if the driver of a vehicle has even an ounce of marijuana the police seize the car.
THanks.
As wealth is increasingly seized through taxes, fines and fees I can see such a situation as you describe for Haiti occurring.
If you’re talking about the folks in Idaho, they won against the EPA also.
It’s not all bad news out there.
You are full of good news today. Thanks!
