It ain't just the DEA

Oakland SWAT raided a wharehouse in East Oakland last night and seized 2,500 Marijuana plants, 50 pounds of processed pot, $40,000 in cash, two suits of body armor, six guns and several boxes of ammunition. 11 people were arrested in connection to the raid.

Investigators had been monitoring the warehouse for a long time before Wednesday night's raid because of suspicious activity there, according to police.

The City of Oakland is not against marijuana growers, just the ones who aren't politically-connected enough to be officially sanctioned by City Hall....i.e. they wear hoodies.
