MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROTEST AT VAN NUYS FRIDAY AUGUST 3, 2007
:::::::::PROTEST AT VAN NUYS FRIDAY AUGUST 3, 2007:::::::::
PROTEST/RALLY FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA AND PATIENT RIGHTS!
WHEN: Friday August 3rd. 9:30 am.-1pm.
WHERE: Van Nuys Civic Center
14410 Sylvan Street
Van Nuys, Ca.
WHY: Protest the DEA actions and local police involvement in recent raids and fear letter campaign
The recent times have been difficult for everyone, especially owners and patients who have had their collectives closed or raided, so we must stand together if we are to get anything done.
There will be drinks and food provided to the protesters that come, and we are looking for all ideas that we can use, such as perfomance art as protest. and things that will be creative and different then ways before.
We will be having a large funeral for States rights, with a large coffin built with a California Flag covering it, and RIP STATE'S RIGHTS, written on the coffin.
FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO VOLUNTEER TO HELP, CONTACT PATRICK at 818-386-2998 (12 PM-8 PM or leave message) or email "patrick_duff2000 [at] yahoo.com"

BAKERSFIELD - As predicted by Sheriff Donny Youngblood, the last remaining pot shop in Bakersfield is out of business, leaving those who rely on marijuana for medicine out of luck.
“This is not about what I can tell people they can and cannot do,” said Youngblood. “This is about the law, and they have a responsibility to know that possession of marijuana with certain restrictions can be a felony with the feds. It is a felony with the feds.”
The owners of California Compassionate Services on Bernard Street in northeast Bakersfield closed late last week.
They said they were caught in a pinch between state and federal law.
A month ago, Bakersfield had six medical marijuana shops, but after a series of DEA raids and federal indictments, each shut down.
Youngblood said he doesn’t plan on issuing licenses for any more pot shops to open.
“People have to do what they think they need to do,” said Youngblood. “I just thought it was a little bit unfair to issue licenses to someone, take their money, and then help put them in federal prison.”
