City Council to Pass Out Medical Marijuana
The Santa Cruz City Council, in a deliberate message of protest to the DEA, will pass out medical marijuana at City Hall.
"City leaders plan to join medical marijuana users at a pot giveaway at City Hall next week. Their goal is to send a message to federal authorities that, in this town, medical marijuana is welcome. "
"The invitation comes one week after agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency arrested the high-profile owners of a pot farm and confiscated 130 plants that had been grown to be used as medicine."
Crime is traditionally a local matter. While the feds and the states both have jurisdiction over drug crimes, it's just plain wrong for the feds to try to trump the will of the state legislature and the citizens of California on the issue of medical marijuana.
The DEA should turn a blind eye or get out of Dodge.
