Feds Sticking Noses Into Colorado ? Scene Again?

According to an e-mail just unearthed by Complete Colorado, a Bush holdover in the U.S. Drug Czar's office is fishing for information that links crime to the growing number of medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado.

The e-mail is addressed to Colorado's chief medical officer, Ned Calonge, at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and it appears to be authored by an Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) research assistant on behalf of former Bush (and current Obama) drug warrior Kevin Sabet.

Here's an excerpt (or you can view the entire e-mail HERE):

We are looking for criminal statistics data that are directly connected to medical marijuana dispensaries, such as the number of dispensary employees or medical marijuana buyers that were arrested, fined or incarcerated for their involvement in dispensaries? The data may be for a specific state or nation wide; either would be greatly appreciated. However, since we have had some difficulty finding good data, I would just like to add that the data must be specific and verifiable. Dr. Sabet would also be interested in any information regarding the number or percentage of physicians in any state or nation wide that recommend medical marijuana.

The e-mail raises a couple significant questions.
