CA Legislature Stands Up Against DEA Raids State Senator Carole Migden Introduces Resolution Calling on the Federal Government to Take Action State Senator Carole Migden has introduced a California Senate Joint Resolution calling on Congress, the President, and federal law enforcement to stop raiding legal medical cannabis collectives and respect California’s law. Senator Migden’s resolution follows an unprecedented escalation in Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) attacks on medical cannabis providers and threats against property owners who rent to hundreds of collectives all over California. Senator Midgen represents the 3rd District: Marin County and portions of San Francisco and Sonoma Counties

Senator Migden’s resolution is the highest profile example to date of growing dissatisfaction among California's leaders, who increasingly see DEA activity as undue interference in the state’s right to implement medical cannabis laws and regulate providers. Senator Migden joins Los Angeles City Council Member Dennis Zine, Orange County Supervisor Chris Norby, Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, and others in opposing the DEA actions.

Americans for Safe Access says, "Support from our state officials is a crucial element in ASA’s ongoing effort to stop the DEA attacks on patients’ access to medicine. This is exactly the kind of support that US House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers needs to bolster his promised investigation of DEA conduct in California. ASA and our allies applaud Senator Migden’s initiative and urge her colleagues in the California legislature to move quickly to adopt the resolution." Read more
