Federal prosecutors have filed civil forfeiture actions against an Oakland medical marijuana dispensary that bills itself as the world's largest, as part of a crackdown by U.S. authorities on California's massive cannabis trade.

Harborside says it is the largest medical marijuana dispensary in the world, serving more than 100,000 patients and is subject of the Discovery Channel reality TV show Weed Wars.
