Supes Condemn Raid on San Francisco Pot Club, Call For DEA to Mellow Out

Fair enough, it was somewhat lost in the glare of our governor -- once caught on film wearing a shirt emblazoned with the sentence "Arnold Is Numero Uno" while smoking a joint and eating a massive piece of cake -- said he's open to debate on marijuana legalization. But, yesterday, a resolution passed by our very own board of supervisors fired another shot in favor of the herb.

By a 9-2 vote (Carmen Chu and Sean Elsbernd were very un-Dude here), the supes blasted the March DEA raid of Emmalyn's California Cannabis Clinic and made a number of demands (that the federal government is in no way mandated to abide by):

  • No more raids on medical marijuana dispensaries until a new Drug Enforcement Agency administrator who can follow through on President Obama's "leave 'em alone" policy takes charge;
  • Give that seized pot back!
  • Stop prosecuting all medical marijuana providers who were complying with state and local laws;
  • Play Free Bird!
