Patients Protest LA Dispensary Raids
January 29th, 2007 by Alex
With the LA dispensary raids still fresh in memory, I was able to locate a photoset of the protests that followed.
Medical marijuana patients brought signs and pill bottles to the downtown Federal Building on Monday, January 22nd. Even West Hollywood officials, where the majority of the raids took place, were disappointed that the DEA chose to execute search warrants instead of contact them directly.
More than 500 people demonstrated outside the federal building and later walked to the City Hall to thank the mayor for his support of patients rights so far. Let’s hope the protest has a lasting effect and will discourage the DEA from making a repeat visit anytime soon.
Two more pics after the jump.
