GO AWAY, FEDS

It is with sadness and outrage that I read about the raid (of the THC 
Ministry). Lowest priority my jackass! What could have compelled our 
loving protectors and servers of justice to cooperate with federal 
DEA agents in jailing Roger Christie and several others for the 
heinous criminal act of providing medical marijuana to people 
unwilling to poison their bodies with pharmaceuticals? Must've been 
about tax revenues.

We don't get or want federal assistance solving crimes such as 
terroristic threatening, meth use, animal torture and women paying 
the annual tribute of getting murdered by their men. But give someone 
marijuana, and in come the federal agents!

Also, in the police report -- along with contempt of court, drunken 
driving and terror -- you have "detrimental drugs."

What is that, exactly? To me "detrimental drug" does not mean 
marijuana. It means meth, and quite possibly the addictive lure of 
federal drug war revenues. Get the feds OFF this island!
