DEA Raids Pot Clinics in LA

(Los Angeles, California) DEA agents swarmed about a dozen medical marijuana clinics yesterday and seized several thousand pounds of pot, along with weapons and cash. Five dispensaries in West Hollywood and six others in Venice, Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley were searched and several people were detained.

According to Sarah Pullen, a spokeswoman with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, no arrests were made and details of the investigation and search warrants won't be disclosed.

"Today's enforcement operations show that these establishments are nothing more than drug-trafficking organizations bringing criminal activities to our neighborhoods and drugs near our children and schools," said Ralph W. Partridge, head of the DEA in Los Angeles.
