*1) Raid Watch, Los Angeles Moratorium & ASA Conference Postponed*
/Raid Watch/
The federal attack on medical cannabis is escalating, as yet another
dispensing collective was raided by federal law enforcement agencies at
several sites through out the Bay Area on Tuesday. New Remedies,
previously Compassionate Caregivers, was bombarded by dozens of law
enforcement agents who took medicine, plants, electronic equipment and
cash from the site, resulting in several arrests and raids throughout
the Bay Area purportedly in connection with the collective.
Compassionate Caregivers, which operated in several cities, was the
target federal scrutiny after their assets were frozen in November of
last year. The operator of the collective, Sparky Rose, is now being
held without bail.
In a statement made to the press, head of the DEA's San Francisco office
Javier Peña related the federal government's true reason "We're trying
to show the public these aren't for the sick or ill." Thus, the goal is
to discredit all medical cannabis dispensaries, thereby curtailing
access for patients in California.
The very next day, federal and local officials raided the Palm Canyon
Palm Springs Caregiver after an alleged bag of edible cannabis was
offered as a tip to an employee at a neighboring business. No arrests or
charges have been reported.
Last week, two dispensing collectives in Modesto and one in Granada
Hills were also raided by federal and local agents, resulting in over a
dozen arrests. Four defendants from the California Healthcare
Collective, the first of the raids last week, will have a status hearing
on October 13th. To date, there have been no state or federal charges
levied against the 2816 Collective, which was raided on September 28th
as a result of a state search warrant. The manager's home was
subsequently visited by Child Protective Services (CPS) with no action
taken. In Granada Hills, four people were arrested in connection with a
raid on North Valley Discount Caregivers. State charges have been filed
against only one of the people arrested.
ASA is planning a national day of action in January, 2007 to respond to
the continued federal attacks on safe access. For more information or to
get involved, visit ASA's website
<https://safeaccessnow.org/article.php?id=3747>. It's time for the
patient community to stand together and call on Congress to stop the DEA
raids now!
/This Week in Los Angeles /
Congratulations to LA ASA, who successfully convinced the Studio City
Neighborhood Council to add a resolution supporting the regulation of
medical marijuana dispensaries to their agenda for their October 18th
meeting of.
As for the LA City moratorium on new dispensaries, it appears that it
has been forwarded to the Planning and Land Use Committee. The committee
has currently not scheduled the moratorium for a Public Hearing.
/AMERICANS FOR SAFE ACCESS STATE CONFERENCE
Implementation = Victory : Preparing for the Next Ten Years/
Americans for Safe Access is pleased to announce the AMERICANS FOR SAFE
ACCESS STATE CONFERENCE,
Implementation = Victory: Preparing for the Next Ten Years will take
place January 13th and 14th at the Pickwick Gardens Conference Center,
1001 Riverside Drive in Burbank, California. The conference, originally
set for October 21st-22nd, was postponed in anticipation of a decision
in the San Diego County lawsuit against the state, expected later this year.
As the momentum grows around medical cannabis law implementation
throughout the state, open communication amongst the players, both
regionally and statewide, has become crucial. For this reason, ASA staff
and local organizers will bring our key assets to the table in a series
of workshops and seminars designed to give activists the skills they
need to achieve effective statewide campaigns while providing a vehicle
for local campaigns to flourish. Workshops will include Strategic
Planning, Direct Action, Media Trainings, and much more!
ASA State Campaign Staff will be presenting the California Campaign for
Safe Access Strategy, covering issues from regulations and protecting
safe access, implementation of the ID card program, sales tax and the
Board of Equalization, and regional participation in the implementation
of SB420, Proposition 215 and precedent setting case law.
Online Registration and Sponsorships will be available soon!
