Feds Crack Down on Medical Marijuana

The federal government is cracking down on California marijuana dispensaries, threatening landlords with property seizures and prison time. After federal prosecutors announced they would not target people using the drug in states that allow it, medical marijuana outlets spread quickly, but now the Obama administration appears to be escalating efforts to rein them in. The four U.S. attorneys have scheduled a conference in Sacramento to outline their plans to target marijuana growing and selling in the state. California legalized marijuana for medical use in 1996, but it remains a federal crime to possess or sell it.
