Washington, DC —(ENEWSPF)–May 3, 2011. Patients and their supporters rallied at the Justice Department in Washington, DC yesterday to protest increased federal interference in medical marijuana states. More than 200 supporters also rallied today in Sacramento for medical marijuana patients Dr. Mollie Fry and her husband Dale Schafer as they surrendered to federal authorities to serve out 5-year prison terms. On Thursday, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) raided several distribution centers in Spokane, Washington, as a state bill to license such facilities was vetoed the next day by Governor Gregoire. Thursday’s actions are the latest in a string of more than 100 aggressive SWAT-style federal raids carried out since President Obama took office.
