Hayward Medical Marijuana Club Raided

The Mercury News posted word that a medical Marijuana club in Hayward, California was raided by the DEA, but they didn't mention when. The club had made over $50m in sales this year, probably why they got the attention of the feds.
Agents who raided the Compassionate Patients Cooperative in Hayward and several other east Bay Area locations shortly before dawn Tuesday also seized $200,000 in cash, two late model Mercedes Benz automobiles and a home in Lafayette.

The pot club's owners, Winslow Norton and Abraham Norton, have been charged with drug distribution, money laundering and several other felony counts. They are being held without bond.
This is just another case of the feds flexing their muscle, do we have _any_ weapons against these raids? It seems that they're not just hitting San Francisco and L.A. anymore.

What a waste of time.

What a waste of time.  Guess what feds, I just bought a bag today in Hayward.  This stuff is so sad.  The time people spend in jail is unquestionably and scientifically proven to be worse than any damage pot itself is causing.  I think America is waking up more and more to the reality, too bad the politicians are such wussies.  It's easy to hate the pigs in these cases, but there just doing their job.  It's the politicians giving the orders that need to be changed, and that is our job as citizens.
