Medical marijuana registry ID card program supended — act now

if you remain silent they win

Quote:
More than a month after the U.S. Supreme Court's medical marijuana decision, the California Department of Health Services has suddenly decided to suspend its medical marijuana ID card program ( https://www.montereyherald.com/mld/mo...s/12087572.htm ). The department will not issue cards or accept new counties into the program until it receives a legal opinion from Attorney General Bill Lockyer (D).

Please take a moment to urge Lockyer to promptly issue an opinion that the program must resume issuing cards, as required by state law. ( https://ssl.capwiz.com/mpp/mail/onec...lertid=7806006 )These cards help protect patients from harassment and trauma, by making it easy for law enforcement to verify that they are patients. It will take only a moment to send your letter through our automated system.

Lockyer was one of the officials in a medical marijuana state to issue a reassuring statement after the Supreme Court decision. He said, "Although I am disappointed in the outcome of today's decision, legitimate medical marijuana patients in California must know that state and federal laws are no different today than they were yesterday."

Officials from nearly every other medical marijuana state have stood up for patients' rights since then, reiterating that nothing's changed since Raich . ( https://mpp.org/raich/officials.html )The most recent was Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers' (D) June 17 legal opinion that the state registry ID program is valid. His opinion ended a temporary ban on the issuance of registry ID cards.

After you write Lockyer, please send a letter-to-the-editor decrying the suspension. ( https://ssl.capwiz.com/mpp/issues/al...806026&type=ME ) Your letter can also call on Lockyer to end the uncertainty that patients are facing, by quickly proclaiming that the program is valid.

In other disturbing news, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has been involved in a number of raids on medical marijuana dispensaries in recent weeks. On June 22, in San Francisco, three dispensaries were raided, 20 indictments were handed down, and up to 20 homes and businesses were searched. San Francisco police were reportedly present. The federal government alleged that targets were involved in a criminal organization and the non-recreational use of marijuana. And yesterday in Sacramento, local sheriffs raided a dispensary, sending the DEA in later.

While the facts aren't entirely clear, it is clear that federal court is not the proper place to sort out whether the activity was permitted under California law. Any arrestee who was simply assisting patients in compliance with California's medical marijuana law wouldn't be able to raise that fact in federal court.

Americans for Safe Access is organizing statewide demonstrations against state and local law enforcement's involvement in raids next Tuesday, July 12, at noon in the following places:

Sacramento County Sheriff's Office
711 G Street
Sacramento, CA

San Diego Police Department Headquarters
1401 Broadway
San Diego, CA

San Francisco Police Department Headquarters
850 Bryant Street
San Francisco, CA

Parker Center
150 N. Los Angeles Street
Los Angeles, CA

And on July 16, the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana will host the WAMM March for Medical Marijuana on Saturday at 12:00 p.m. on the Pacific Garden Mall, in downtown Santa Cruz. Click here for more details.

Thank you for supporting the Marijuana Policy Project. Please pass this message on to others in California, so that even more voices can speak up for patients.

...I reckon that I should make a film/DVD on California......and this silly situation juxtaposed between the state laws and the federal laws......

...Maybe this old man should head out west to cover this controversy?
