The DEA has alarmed marijuana advocates after sending cease-and-desist letters to 11 dispensaries in the Seattle area, the Seattle Times reports.
Although state law permits medical-marijuana dispensaries, federal law bans all forms of pot.
The letters, however, don’t signal a war against state marijuana laws, according to the DEA.
The dispensaries were within 1,000 feet of schools, the Seattle Times reported.
Recipients of the letters were told to stop selling marijuana within 30 days or they face seizure.
California dispensaries also are being targeted by Federal authority, Gawker reports.
