it is clear that medical cannabis is here to stay, but your agents continue to
arrest and prosecute patients and providers. this is a terrible injustice and a
waste of dea resources. patients and advocates are protesting today in hopes of
persuasing you and your agents to stop arresting patients and providers in
california. instead, we urge you to cooperate with local jurisdictions in
regulating collectives and cooperatives to protect patients and the community.
