DEA investigates Montana state legislator for medical marijuana views By Eric Pfeiffer | The Sideshow – 15 mins ago

A member of Montana's state legislature says the Drug Enforcement Agency began investigating her over support for medical marijuana laws. State House Democrat Diane Sands tells the Missoulian she was contacted by a defense attorney with some unusual news: The attorney had been approached by the DEA who wanted to know whether Sands might be connected to one of the attorney's clients who had been charged with distributing marijuana. "So now, if you're a state legislator who has been working on medical marijuana laws, you are somehow part of a conspiracy," said Sands. "It's ridiculous, of course, but it's also threatening to think that the federal government is willing to use its influence and try to chill discussion about this subject." Medical marijuana is legal in Montana, but the practice is still illegal under federal drug laws. The ATF recently stepped into Montana's medical marijuana laws as well, banning firearm sales and ownership from anyone with a medical pot card.

Discrimination and a violation of their right to bear arms. Ridiculous. Medcnman.

I'm sure this problem will taper off eventually though, considering it has favorably done so thus far. DEA really has nothing better to do!

Sounds like something J Edgar Hoover would do. I can't find the exact quote but something like "I think Senator ... needs to be investigated". Granted its only a movie I feel it has some merit.

Can you say, "Mccarthyism?" Does anyone else see a correlation here? Isn't this the very definition of tyranny? Folks, we better not only occupy, but write our elected officials and remind them that they work for us and we vote. Our MMJ laws are in danger, we have to get out of our sick beds and FIGHT. Please keep writing them every day until they do what is right for people they serve (or is it for the people they serve up to special interest?). \

 

REMEMBER THIS: The pen is mightier that the sword, lets write their orders (they work for us) and demand what is right.

The DEA is a waste of taxpayers money and needs to be abolished .
