Today—as federal agents raid three buildings at the Oakland cannabis college and protesters chant outside—five lawmakers have written a letter to the feds telling them to back off. Among the letter writers is Washington State senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles, who joins others, saying, “We call on the federal government not to interfere with our ability to control and regulate how medical marijuana is grown and distributed. Let us seek clarity rather than chaos. Don’t force patients underground, to fuel the illegal drug market.”
Amen, JKW. (Thanks to Philip for the tip.)
