DEA Raids Medical Marijuana Lab in Denver

Full Spectrum Laboratories in Denver tests medical marijuana for dispensaries and patients in Colorado and on Thursday it was raided by the D.E.A. and ordered to turn over patient records, violating several H.I.P.A. laws in the process by disclosing the identities of the patients to the officers while the owners were in the state capital, giving there testimony to the Health and Human Services Committee. Recieving word though text message that the DEA were in the process of a raid.

DEA special agent Mike Turner said the administration never comments on ongoing investigations and that he couldn't confirm or deny whether there was a raid. In general, he said "agents don't investigate medical marijuana users or suppliers but that they could be probed if their name surfaced during investigations into large drug trafficking operations."

"We don't target these operations unless they come up in the normal course of our operations," he said of medical marijuana operations.

As of late the Police and DEA statewide have raided a few large grow operations but haven't gone after the regular patient and or caregiver. What is the DEA doing??? Why are they not listening. Have the DEA gone made like the S.S. of old???
