SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Federal prosecutors have launched a crackdown on some pot dispensaries in California, warning the stores that they must shut down in 45 days or face criminal charges and confiscation of their property even if they are operating legally under the state’s 15-year-old medical marijuana law.
At least 16 pot shops or their landlords received letters this week stating they are violating federal drug laws, even though medical marijuana is legal in California.
