Feds scoop up medical marijuana patient records in Oregon investigation
Despite Oregon’s best efforts to keep medical marijuana patient records private, a federal search warrant forced the state agency to hand over some records, according to recently discovered court records.

The warrant was executed in November of last year against the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, the state agency that administers the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act, voted into law in 1998.

As part of an investigation into growers in Oregon suspected of dealing on the black market (the PI doesn’t name suspects in investigations unless they have been charged with a crime), a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration obtained the warrant to aid in his investigation.

“I know that in order to effectively pursue this investigation,” wrote special agent Michael Gutensohn in his application for the warrant, “I need to investigate each of the patients, growers and caregivers associated with” names discovered in the investigation.

"Patients."  Right.

Since the Feds don't recognize medical marijuana, and it's a scheduled drug, perhaps they will see fit to prosecute any of those people who denied being a drug user on any recent firearms transfer forms.

 

Of course, in the real world, we all know the only time they prosecute someone for that is when they have a boner for them over something else but can't prove up any other crimes.
