WHEN: 12noon – 2pm March, 26 2010
WHERE: 940 Front Street San Diego CA
WHAT: National Day of Protest against NTF and DEA raids on medical marijuana patients and collectives.
In one week we will have the opportunity to tell those who seek to rule over us that we are not happy with the way they are treating us. The raids by the DEA and NTF of San Diego are not acceptable and we want them to stop! There is no reason for the NTF to be cross sworn except to violate state law. We voted to legalize medical marijuana 14 years ago. The DEA refuses to go by science and what the medical profession has said. Here in San Diego we have a Narcotics Task Force that has been cross sworn so they can violate state law as well as give any confiscated medicine to the DEA so they do not have to return it when the victim is found not guilty or not charged.
On March 26th from 12 noon to 2:00pm we will be meeting at 940 Front st to protest the illegal raids by the DEA on medical marijuana as well as the refusal of San Diego to recognise Prop 215 and SB420.
Please send this call to action to everyone in your contact list.
It is time for everyone to come out of the Cannabis Closet
Thank You

SWAT-Style Raids on Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in San DiegoCome Day After City Council Acts to Regulate Dispensaries
Patients Condemn Tactics, Express Concern for Safe Access
SAN DIEGO – Several medical marijuana dispensaries were raided in San Diego today, after the City Council yesterday voted 6-1 to establish a taskforce to create dispensary regulations by early next year. Medical marijuana patients and advocates criticized the raids’ timing and tactics.
“These raids are unnecessary and unacceptable. Yesterday the City Council agreed to create local regulations for dispensaries. We could have those rules as early as January. So, why is law enforcement using SWAT-style tactics to try to strong arm dispensaries into closing today? Who’s running this place?” asked Dion Markgraaf, San Diego Coordinator of Americans for Safe Access. “District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis is behind this, and the only thing she’s interested in is shutting down as many dispensaries as she can before her next campaign cycle.”
The San Diego City Council voted 6-1 last night to establish a task force to create regulations governing the supply of medical marijuana in San Diego. The 11-member committee will be comprised of medical marijuana patients, social service providers and dispensary operators, as well as a legal professional, a physician, a community planner, a small business owner, a member of law enforcement and a land use professional.
According to San Diego’s Channel 10, “The panel… was directed to make preliminary recommendations by the start of the year. The panel will be tasked with reviewing guidelines for medical marijuana patients and caregivers, the operation of dispensaries and growing cooperatives and the ground rules for police enforcement.”
“Local law enforcement says dispensaries are breaking the rules. But the truth is that San Diego has avoided establishing rules. Now that a taskforce is finally in the works, San Diego will have rules as early as next year,” said Margaret Dooley-Sammuli, deputy state director for the Drug Policy Alliance. “For some local elected officials, that may be bad timing. But for the people of this county who voted to legalize medical marijuana in 1996, it’s long overdue.
