FEDS' MARIJUANA MEDDLING

The Department of Justice served a forfeiture notice on the medical 
marijuana dispensary Harborside Health Center in Oakland. When 
announcing it, the U.S. Attorney admitted that Harborside was in 
compliance with California law but was too big. So the DOJ made up a 
new rule because the California rules were not good enough.

Being state-compliant means Harborside paid a lot of taxes. 
Decreasing California tax revenue impacts Californians because now 
the revenue has to be made up elsewhere; hence the DOJ's war on California.
