Happening Now: Legal medical marijuana shops in Oakland being raided by the U.S. Marshals, and DEA. Twitter and mainstream media sources are confirming that Oaksterdam University, which was a business that taught people how to grow marijuana for medical purposes, is being raided by the feds right now.
A few pics from Twitter:
The above image shows feds blocking off Oaksterdam. (they may have been cropped out, if you click on the picture it will show them on the right.) Twitter sources says there's no OPD, only feds.

There was supposed to be a news story on nbcbayarea.com, but I can't get it to work.
you can follow what's happening on twitter, use hashtag #Oaksterdam
Wow. These folks aren't hurting anybody. Why can't the feds stop wasting their tax money and leave them alone? How about going after bankers instead? Meh, I won't hold my breath.
And that's it. Short diary because I'm crazy busy today, and I won't be able to update until later tonight, but I thought this was important news and needed to be posted on here.
