Please forward this message Patients to Protest DEA Raids at upcoming San Diego Conference Medical cannabis (marijuana) patients and advocates will protest outside a DEA conference in San Diego on Tuesday, October 31, at 12:00 PM. The peaceful protest is in response to recent DEA raids of medical cannabis collectives in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and elsewhere. DEA Administrator Karen Tandy and the Regional DEA Directors will be present at the conference on October 31. This is an opportunity to let Administrator Tandy and the DEA know that California will not tolerate federal raids on collectives and cooperatives that are in compliance with our state law. We need every patient and advocate to attend this protest. Your voice does make a difference. Bring signs, organize a carpool, and invite all your friends! Stand Up to the DEA!
