I can't see any constitutional basis for the FDA (or much of the FAA or FCC regulations for that matter). Perhaps not regulating California marijuana clinics impacts marijuana clinics in other states: empty Commerce Clause justification.

Question to the lawyerly-types:

What would happen if California passed a law making seizure of marijuana plants from an approved medical marijuana facility a criminal offense?

The local sheriff's department should then be responsible for preventing such criminal raids by the DEA, and the agents involved should be arrested and prosecuted.

How would this play out, both on the street and in the courts?

Much the same thing as when governors in the past (and legislatures) said that there laws about race-mixing took precedence over Yankee laws *requiring* race-mixing. Namely, the troops were called in to assert the power of the Washingtonians over the states. Ditto for troops enforcing school busing. And in the New Regime of suspension of detention without trial, sneak and peak raids without warrants, torture (proposed by some Zionist shysters), and untrained-for-police-work soldiers waving M-16s at the proles, expect things to be much, much worse. --Tim May "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship." --Alexander Fraser Tyler
