"Our community would do well to prepare itself, to brace for impact" ~ Rachel Kurtz Cannabis Defense Coalition
In the wake of threats this month from two federal prosecutors in Washington state, medical cannabis activists are staging raid preparedness trainings in cities across the state. The move comes as Governor Chris Gregoire contemplates the fate of a bill to license cannabis providers and create a state registry of medical marijuana patients.
"The medical cannabis bill is a ghost of its former self, and could get dramatically worse if the governor exercises her sectional veto power," said Rachel Kurtz of Seattle-based patient advocacy group the Cannabis Defense Coalition.
"Our community would do well to prepare itself, to brace for impact," Kurtz said.
Events are planned this week for Seattle, Spokane and Ellensburg.
Traveling from Washington, D.C., to lead the training sessions will be Steph Sherer, executive director of Americans for Safe Access, a national medical cannabis advocacy group.
ASA was founded 10 years ago in response to federal raids on cannabis providers in California.
"Patients are sick and tired of being marginalized and living in fear of the federal government," Sherer said. "It's time to push politics aside, recognize the plight of patients across the country, and properly address medical marijuana as the public health issue that it is."
Event organizers warned that, whether or not the legislation becomes law in Washington, medical cannabis patients and providers will likely see an increase in raids by federal and local law enforcement throughout the state.
Raid Training Schedule
Seattle Wednesday, April 27, 7-10 p.m. Cannabis Resource Center 1714 1st Ave. S.
Spokane Thursday, April 28, 1-4 p.m. Downtown Spokane Library 906 W. Main Ave.
Ellensburg Friday, April 29, 1-4 p.m. Black Hall Room 151 Central Washington University campus

This is what happens when a tyrannical government pushes, and pushes, and keeps pushing.
You're on thin ice mother fuckers.

define preparedness training. preparedness as in theyre gonna start shooting the pigs when they try to raid them? Ik this is wishful thinking at best, but that is the only "preparedness" i can think of in that situation.

They're probably preparing to grab their stuff and head for the hills.
I can't imagine what else they'd do. But reading this tells me that if you push someone, they will push back. This government thinks it can keep pushing our buttons. Just wait until they push the big shiny red button that says "Do not push".

that wont accomplish much, at least in the capacity of striking back against the government.

They could prepare networks for legal council advice, maybe set up bail pools, give people general advice on what to say/do when the feds come, etc. Not much else to do when the federal government is wiping their ass with the 10th amendment.

I'm sure it realistically consists of just tellin owners to stash most of their drugs outside of the dispensary. Along with legal jargon to be aware of/to be used as a defense if a raid occurs.
Wishfully, it's the same training the us military receives and applies towards innocent children across the ocean.

Sometimes I get this funny feeling that the feds are intentionally trying to piss everyone off.
