Why have the bud clubs been raided?

Question

Lately many medical marijana clinics have been raided depriving people of their medicine. does any one know why?

Answer 1

Ignorance and fear. Racisim and discrimination. The rape of natural resourses still drives big business and any form of marijuana (or "hemp") is a threat to their bottom line. The bigger the lie,the more people beleive it. The American government has ignored every study ever done concerning marijuana, and is following the needs of corporate profit and not the needs or wants of those whom elected them. Even though marijuana has been used for thousands of years by countless cultures and societies,profit and ignorance still drives the American government,and will continue to do so, as long as weirdos like Bush are allowed to "lead" America.If the American people had any respect for their own wants and needs,they would ELECT a president with the public's interest in mind,and not the need for corporate profit and personal gain that that Bush guy seems so interested in.Low voter turnouts have allowed leaders with personal agendas to be in power,and as long as the American public continues to be disinterested in what and how their government chooses to do to their country and all those living there,I suggest you get used to it.

Answer 2

The Cannabis Cultivators Club reopened Wednesday, five months after state narcotics agents raided it and shut it down. But voter approval in November of Proposition 215 -- a measure legalizing marijuana for medical uses -- and a judge's ruling last week allowed the club to reopen.

But that is just one aspect of an increasingly complex legal fight over medical marijuana.

The federal government is threatening to revoke licenses and to prosecute doctors if they recommend the use of marijuana to their patients. This week a group of doctors filed suit against the federal government, claiming it's their constitutional right to recommend marijuana use if needed.


Some physicians feel they are becoming the new casualties of the drug war.

"There's been a threat that I'll be under surveillance, that spies will be sent in. I wonder if new patients are truly new patients," said Dr. Virginia Cafaro.

The debate also unsettles patients who are asking doctors to recommend pot. "It's pretty scary for the doctors and might even discourage them from participating."

At the center of the dispute, the Cannabis Cultivators Club had operated illegally for years, but police in San Francisco looked the other way.

The United States outlawed marijuana in 1937 except for approved research. Possession of marijuana remains a federal crime, but it remains unclear how federal drug officials will react to the club's reopening.

Answer 3

Because a news crew went in and showed how easy to get a prescription for pot and found that most if not all marijuana clinic is selling to people who do it for recreational purposes.
