SAN MATEO - In the largest Bay Area raid of medical marijuana dispensaries
in nearly a year, federal agents stormed three medical cannabis outlets in
downtown San Mateo on Wednesday afternoon and shut them down.

The DEA, accompanied by members of the San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force
and the San Mateo Police Department, seized 50 pounds of processed
marijuana, hashish, cannabis-laced edibles and approximately $30,000 in
cash, according to a statement by the U.S. Department of Justice. No arrests
were reported.

The raids occurred in the middle of the afternoon, and the three
dispensaries were located in busy, commercial districts of the city -
including one site in an office building in the city's commercial center on
Third Avenue. "A bunch of guys with drawn guns dropped into the building and
bashed the door down, shock-and-awe style," said Josh Snyder, an employee of
an Internet startup in the Third Avenue office building.
