They sell marijuana in ''clubs'' in Hayward, Ca. The city council approved their establishment.
Since this is a federal crime should a citizen report it to the feds?
The dispensary owners are getting super rich. They don't charge sales tax or pay F. I. C. A. for their employees. State law simply does not permit sales-for-profit so they are criminal operations even by state law.

Go seek out some crackdealers and report them instead... it would do more for humanity.

first off why report a drug that has less effects than alcohol. the only reason why the government has legalized marijuana is because it's harder than hell to tax something you can grow in your house. Besides you're taking a lot on by being the cause of the takedown of a successful and well-liked club.
It's very risky, i'm sure the clubowners no some very influential people. I don't know about you but i don't like to have to look behind me everytime i'm walking down the sidewalk.
Also atleast these kids are relaxing and getting mellow. For example a good person once said. " You're at a ballgame the person on the right of you is standing up and screaming and jumping all around - is he drinking or smoking pot. But the person on your right is sitting down being quiet with a huge grin on his face - is he smoking pot or drinking.

First off, in any state the only drugs sold such as marijuana, is for medical purposes and not sold in clubs. It is illegal to do this and, if later, it is proved you had knowledge of this, yes, you can be charged. Many states call this an accessory after the fact.
I would drop a dime on someone because we have enough issues with alcohol and the number of people, especially young teenagers, who die daily on the streets, we don't need additional drugs out there killing these kids off.
Until you have helped pull a lifeless body of a 17 year old out of what used to be a vehicle, and can hear a mothers screams from a block away, knowing a child she gave birth to is now dead, you cant imagine the feeling in the pit of your stomach. But today's young people think they are indestructible and nothing will get them, until its too late.

tough call
Marijuana?? You are just Joe citizen witnessing? I don't think you are required.You work for the club? you can be called an accomplice.
The new enforcement practice is going after the people who aid and shelter the cop killers and escaped prisoners.
You want to live with the crime hide. You get sick of it stop it .
REPORT CRIME There is no shame to stand for our freedom.

California's state laws are a little different the rest of the countyr. But since selling drugs is illegal I would report them, it is the moral and ethical thing to do.

well you're in california so i cant be completely for sure, but in texas since this would be a felony yes you could get in trouble for it. In our penal code it is classified as failure to report felony which is a class B misdemeanor 180 days in county jail and 2000.00 fine. hope i helped

You are not legally required to report it.
Whether the Fed wants to get involved is another matter

Must not be...
The cops themselves cover for each other's incidents of abuse of power, and violations of civil rights.
What morals do they use to encourage civilians to uphold the law?

Yes.. you are required to report it.. BUT... if you said nothing, the authorities would have to PROVE that you were aware of it and did not report it.. For myself.. I WOULD NEVER NEVER NEVER report anything because under our archaic judicial system and with the judges we have here in the U.S.(terrorist leaning), If I reported something, the archaic system would somehow make me the culprit and for that reason.. I would NEVER NEVER report anything

Legally, yes, but prudent? You have to decide for yourself. Criminal have long memories of those who ratted on them.
