DEA raids medical marijuana dispensary in Laguna Beach

LAGUNA BEACH Agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration raided a marijuana dispensary Tuesday, seized an unknown amount of marijuana and took into custody two people who were later released, authorities said.
With the assistance of detectives from the Laguna Beach Police Department, DEA agents served the search warrant at 2007 South Coast Highway, taking into custody marijuana plants and several edible products believed to contain marijuana, said Special Agent Sarah Pullen of the DEA.
Officers with the Laguna Beach Police Department assisted in containing the area but did not participate in the actual search, said Sgt. Jason Kravetz.
Two employees who were taken into custody were later released. No charges have been filed in connection to the case, she said.
The federal search warrant is under seal and details on how much marijuana was seized at the Laguna Beach Holistic Center could not be disclosed, Pullen said.
A call to the business was not answered Wednesday afternoon.
The search and seizure of the marijuana is the latest local example of the clash that has continued between California and federal laws, which contradict each other in the question of medical marijuana and has left cities and local law enforcement agencies in the middle.
Some cities, such as Huntington Beach, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, Fullerton and Santa Ana have banned marijuana dispensaries in their area. Brea has adopted a moratorium ban until March 2009.
In contrast, the Laguna Woods City Council passed an ordinance in September allowing medical dispensaries, although they would only be allowed to serve city residents.
Federal law prohibits the use and sale of marijuana, but voters in California passed the Compassionate Use Act in 1996, which allows people to use marijuana for medicinal purposes.
While local law enforcement agencies have usually allowed the local dispensaries to do business, federal authorities have served several search warrants and seized marijuana from the businesses.

I'm not positive if it is my old dispensary or not, but back when I first used it (march) it was the *only* dispensary in that area.

I've never been concerned before... but what happens to the documents with my information on them?

Do I need to be freaked out?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm fairly sure it wasn't the same dispensary I used... re-reading the article, I realized there was an address in there (it overlooked it as a date before).

2007 South Coast Highway seems to be:
Athena Day Spa - 2007 South Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, CA, 92651 - Wellsphere

Some sort of day spa... which I guess was either a front for a dispensary, or they rented out a room for them or something.

This makes me want to call my old dispensary and have them destroy my information.

Double Edit:
Here we go... WeedMaps.com - Laguna Beach Holistic Center

I'm still curious what would happen if my info fell into DEA hands.

Round of applause for excellent use of tax dollars. Just absolutely perfect. With the economy the way it is, marijuana busts are the perfect thing to do.

I use several of the dispensaries in that area myself. As a matter of fact my Dr. is in Laguna. I know of at least 2 dispensaries I've used in the past that have been raided. So far no contact from the Feds

. I'm not real worried as I don't think the the DEA is all that interested in the 1/4 - 1/2 O or so that I get each month. (knock, knock, knock)
