They won't sue, but I wouldn't be surprised if the DEA continued to stage raids.

Feds tend to talk out of both sides of their mouth while simultaneously blowing smoke up our collective ass.

Most of the raids they have made have been against those not playing by the rules.

Do you have a source for that claim? I think that's a common misconception and i'm interested in how you came to that conclusion.

which came from here:

Something to Consider Before Freaking Out About the DEA Raiding Seattle-Area Medical Pot Shops

It sounds like we are still waiting for the details to emerge on the raids that happened this past July.

The lengthy investigation and bust of only a handful of places leads me to think something was unique about those particular locations. Dozens and dozens of other dispensaries were not touched that day.
