SF Gate has word that the DEA plans to target landlords to get rid of S.F. pot clubs. It seems that the owners of the land that rent to pot club owners are being threatened that if they rent to these medical marijuana providers, they could lose their buildings. Here's a snip:

"By this notice, you have been made aware of the purposes for which the property is being used," said a copy of the letter sent to Sacramento landlords, signed by the special agent in charge of the DEA's San Francisco office, Javier Pena.

"You are further advised that violations of federal laws relating to marijuana may result in criminal prosecution, imprisonment, fines and forfeiture of assets."

They will stop at nothing to stop the medical marijuana movement, it's a shame the buildings are owned and operated by California residents, which makes it a state matter.

According to CBS, San Francisco's mayor; Gavin Newsom has declared the war on drugs a failure.

"If you want to get serious, if you want to reduce crime by 70% in this country overnight, end this war on drugs," he told reporters at City Hall on Thursday. "You want to get serious, seriously serious about crime and violence end this war on drugs."

I would have to agree, it's like Bill Hicks said;

"George Bush says ‘we are losing the war on drugs.’ Well, you know what that implies? There's a war going on…and people on drugs are winning it! Well, what does that tell you about drugs? Some smart, creative motherfuckers on that side. You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them. 'Cause you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years ... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs.

.... but I digress....
