State Raids Southern California Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

   Man, medical marijuana is in the news alot these days.  Last week I read an article in the SDUT about the boom in "medical marijuana law."  From my perspective as a criminal defense lawyer, that looks like a lot of show boating to me.  I wouldn't want to be in the paper as a medical marijuana specialist in the same way that I wouldn't want to be known as a dui specialist.  DUI specialists are not who you want to handle your DUI, trust me.

   But uh... the medical marijuana practice seems kind of um.. tenuous?  Like the Los Angeles County Bureau of Narcotics raids five medical marijuana dispensaries.  Hey- you don't think all the guys who have been busting up marijuana distribution rings for the last fifty years just disappeared, do you?  They are just re-loading their weapons.  Don't get too comfortable out there, medical marijuana fans.
