According to the Sacramento Bee, U.S. attorneys are warning landlords that they may seize properties of anyone leasing space to marijuana stores.

In a story posted on SacBee.com today, letters sent this week to targeted dispensaries in San Diego, San Francisco, Marin and elsewhere warn that California’s medical marijuana law is no protection against property seizure or prosecution under federal law, and demand that landlords or operators “discontinue the sale and/or distribution of marijuana … within 45 days.”

This would include the Mr. Nice Guyz smoke shop at Rio Linda Blvd. and M St.

As recent at 6 months ago, someone representing Mr. Nice Guyz Smoke Shop claimed that “We are NOT a dispensary” and “WE ARE HERE TO STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“. That’s been proven to be inaccurate, as they are selling medicinal marijuana from the old Rexall Drug Store building.

80% of the respondents to the Rio Linda Online reader poll voted that the smoke shack should move elsewhere.

Federal prosecutors from California’s four federal judicial districts are due to appear in Sacramento on Friday to announce a U.S. Justice Department policy towards medical marijuana sales and cultivation. In recent weeks, federal authorities in Sacramento have seized accounts of two dispensaries in a probe of irregular banking practices. They filed criminal charges against operators of another dispensary accused of conspiracy and illegal marijuana sales for alleged profiteering, despite California law mandating that dispensaries operate as non-profits.

In Oct. 4 letters, the U.S. attorney in the state’s Southern District warned two San Diego dispensaries that “operations involving sales and distribution of marijuana are illegal and subject criminal prosecution.”
