MEDICINAL MARIJUANA FLAP

DENVER - Steve DeAngelo says his staff may need to carry cash in 
personal vehicles to pay Harborside Health Center's bills after his 
armored car provider told his co-founder that a federal agency 
ordered it to stop serving cannabis businesses.

Mr. DeAngelo is executive director of the medicinal marijuana 
collective based in Oakland, Calif., with 128,000 patients.

The U.S. Justice Department declined to comment on the matter, Ellen 
Canale, a spokeswoman, said by email in response to repeated 
requests. The Drug Enforcement Administration referred questions to 
the Justice Department, its parent agency.
