Why is it that when someone breaks and enters an building, home, whatever... With masks on and guns, holds people against their will and steals everything they have they get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law... Yet when the Cops do it, it is legal??? Can someone please answer this question for me???

Just wondering why the police and feds (who have no jursidiction over our state given rights) are messing with people who need their meds... Can anyone answer this? How about you terrorist cops? Care to chime in? I mean this is an act of terrorism toward the citizens in Las Vegas. Or is there such thing as justifiable terrorism? I hope you are all happy with yourselves and feel you have made a huge victory in your failed war on drugs. When are you going to wake up and leave people who are already suffering ALONE!! I'd love to hear what you have to say about this, or are you too ashamed? Is that why you had to wear masks when you committed these acts of terrorism? Please enlighten us!!!!

Any other med patients out there, please raise your voice and let these terrorists know you wont be stepped on and treated like second class citizens. The good people at the Las Vegas Sun have always been non-biased toward our movement and gracious enough to write articles letting the people know what is happening in our community. They have given us a chance to let our voices be heard on this forum, so speak out. Thank you Las Vegas Sun for giving us this forum and chance to let everyone know what kind of acts of terrorism are being committed in our own country! In our own communities!

I think people who are locked into the prohibition approach to the marijuana issue are falling by the wayside,and that pot will be regulated like tobacco and alcohol within 10 years maybe less!

This is outrageous . We have lost our rights . The federal government is out of control . Its time they answer to the people. The state needs to make a stand against the federal government. Lets see if the elected officials do what they were voted in to do. If not it is time for a new government that abides by the constitution.

I hope that all elected officals that are again'st legalizing POT lose their election. The BABY BOOMERS have enough voters to get rid of these OLD TIME POLITICIANS. A POT HEAD COULD RUN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BETTER THAN THE ONCE THAT ARE IN OFFICE.

Amen to that my friends! Let your voices be heard. Go to your local co-op and get information on "who" is favorable for our movement in the coming elections and urge your families to step out and vote for them. Stop the atrosities where they begin. ...In the offices of people who do not undrstand, care or have the mental capacity to empathize with our community!

Is the world a better more happy place, because of the great Musical Genius of ie: Louis Satchmo Armstrong, Willie Nelson, Frank Sinatra,John Lennon, Paul MacCartney, Etc.,Etc., Etc.,or have the Drug Zars, Waters, McKaffey, Bennett,
Etc., Etc., brought more benifit to Society???
In their FAILED attempt to CONTROL something that's UNCOTROLABLE...but their Mission to perpetuate, the Incarceration of 1000's of good folks that choose to feel better, by smoking a simple flower that has been MEDICINALY used for thousands of years by many thousands of people!
ask yourself, Who Benifits by prohibition?
The U.S. has the highest percentage of incarceration in the world, a high percentage of these are Non Violent folks that Chose to be M.J users!!!

1.Your involved in the "Corporate" Prison
Industry.
2.Your involved in this Law Enforcement effort.
3. A Pharmacitical Drug Manufacturer...
4. A Beer, Wine, or Liquor Enterprize...

The reason the police are wearing masks is clearly because they are not wanting the general public to be able to identify them as terrorists!

The public has spoken, and the police are choosing to take action against the will of the people by going after legitimate businesses distributing medicine to legal patients.

Also, I'm just curious .. do you really need to have a drug sniffing dog in a dispensary with that much marijuana? It's like bringing a metal detector to a bank safe. DUH?!?
