If you are in the area, join the protest at Capitol Alternatives -
2020 16th Street, Sacramento



Earlier this morning at 9am, the home of a Sacramento dispensary
operator was raided by the DEA, FBI and Sacramento Sheriff. The
multi-agency raid was conducted with search warrants for the home and
car of one of the operators of Capitol Alternatives. The operator was
not arrested, but paperwork and medicine was confiscated.



Later this morning, at approximately 11am, the DEA, with the active
participation of the Sacramento Police Department, raided the Capitol
Alternatives dispensary in Sacramento. Police are currently holding
