Feds raid Calif. marijuana dispensary

Feds raid Calif. marijuana dispensary
August 1, 2008 - upi.com

CULVER CITY, Calif., Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Federal authorities raided a medical marijuana dispensary in California the same day an appeals court ruled U.S. law does not pre-empt state law on medical pot.

U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents arrived at about noon Thursday at Organica Collective in Culver City, Calif., the Los Angeles Times reported.

"Marijuana remains a controlled substance, and it is illegal under federal law to possess, dispense or cultivate marijuana in any form," DEA spokeswoman Sarah Pullen said.

The U.S. appeals court in San Diego ruled Thursday federal law does not pre-empt California's law allowing the use of medical marijuana, the newspaper reported.

Los Angeles Councilman Bill Rosendahl was called to the scene by the owner of the dispensary and arrived hours after the raid began. He said he was frustrated he could not intervene.

The dispensary straddles the boundary between Culver City and the city of Los Angeles, Rosendahl said. Culver City police assisted federal agents at the scene.

"This is an action with the federal government, which is sad," Rosendahl said, "because these laws need to be revisited in Washington, especially the medical marijuana law. We're incarcerating people by the tens of thousands, we're destroying peoples' lives, and people who have a medical marijuana legitimacy are caught in the middle."

Well, in their defense it is a lot less dangerous and a lot easier to raid a medical marijuana dispensary that is on the books with a known location than it is some criminals you don't know anything about!

But does the law have any provisions about the cops not being allowed to work under federal statutes?

My advice is to find those things that give pleasure and do them often without too much attachment and relax and wait for the show to end.

I like free markets and all. Truly I do, at least in general, but there needs to be some kind of oversight in recognition of sustainability. Life works the same way, on a bunch of sustainable systems. Why not honor what made us what we are and take some lessons? Nature FTW!

Not yet,  A.B. No. 2743, TOPIC :  Medical marijuana: nonassistance with federal raids, was passed, however Health and Safety Code 11362.84 has not been added to the Health and Safety Code, yet.

Quote:

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  The Legislature finds and declares the following:
  (a) California voters enacted and overwhelmingly support laws to
decriminalize under state law the medical use, possession, and
distribution of marijuana to qualified patients.
  (b) Federal criminal law permits under the federal compassionate
use program the use of marijuana by patients remaining in that
program, but does not provide any exception whatsoever for the
doctor-recommended use of marijuana by California patients, as
decriminalized under California law.
  (c) Federal agents have repeatedly raided, arrested, and
prosecuted marijuana providers of medical marijuana patients, and
arrested and seized medicine from patients.
  (d) The proper operation of California's medical marijuana laws
depends on preserving patients' and providers' confidentiality and
conducting any necessary investigations under state law.
  (e) The Medical Marijuana Program prohibits agents of the state of
California and its political subdivisions from arresting any medical
marijuana patient who possesses a valid medical marijuana
identification card.
  (f) State and local officials sometimes mistakenly believe their
duties include enforcing the federal prohibition on medical marijuana
against patients and caregivers.
  (g) The California Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, in City of
Garden Grove v. Superior Court (2007) 157 Cal.App.4th 355, 391, noted
that "it is not the job of the local police to enforce the federal
drug laws ... ."
  (h) Although the State of California recognizes the right of the
federal government to enforce its own laws, the state is not required
to use its resources to enforce federal law.
  SEC. 2.  Section 11362.84 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
  11362.84.  (a) It is the policy of the state that its agencies and
agents and its cities, counties, and other state or local
governmental entities shall not assist in federal raids, arrests,
investigations, or prosecutions for marijuana-related offenses if the
target is a qualified patient, a designated caregiver, or other
person  described in  who is acting in
accordance with  Section 11362.775.
  (b) It is not the policy of the state to prohibit assistance if
any of the following circumstances exist: 
  (1) There is probable cause to believe the target of the
investigation is engaged in the ongoing, knowing, and willful
distribution of marijuana to individuals who are not protected by
Sections 11362.5 to 11352.83, inclusive, or another state or federal
medical marijuana law. 
  (2) The investigation 
  (b) The policy created by this section does not apply to the
following types of assistance:
    (1)    Assistance to or participation in
an investigation that  relates solely to marijuana that is grown
or stored on federal, state, or local lands, without the permission
of any state or local government.
  (2) Assistance to or participation in an investigation for an
offense by a qualified patient, a designated caregiver, or other
person described in Sections 11362.5 to 11362.83, inclusive, that is
either not related to marijuana or related to marijuana but is
objectively and unmistakenly not permitted by Sections 11362.5 to
11362.83, inclusive.
  (3)  A law enforcement agency is require to provide
  Providing    crowd or traffic control
outside a location where federal agents are raiding a qualified
patient, a designated caregiver, or other person described in Section
11362.775.
  (c) This section shall not allow or require a state, local, or
county agent or agency to actively impede a federal agent or agency
from carrying out federal law.
  (d) This section does not prohibit local or county law enforcement
agencies and agents from enforcing local or county ordinances and
regulations relating to medical marijuana dispensing collectives,
without the involvement of federal agencies. 
  (e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the
authority of the Medical Board of California to regulate physician
standards of medical responsibility, including those standards
relating to issuing medical marijuana recommendations.

I'm on the opposite shore, but, I'll tell ya...Councilman Rosendahl sounds like a keeper.  Better promote him higher in the political ranks if you want to keep progressing w/r/t marijuana reform laws in Califonia.  Five shrooms for Councilman Rosendahl.  :mushroom2:
