Medical Marijuana patients, providers, advocates and supporters across the US are planning public education events, press conferences, and creative actions to draw attention to the crisis facing patients’ and their caregivers. On Tuesday, February 18 peaceful medical marijuana supporters across the nation will serve the DEA eviction notices in protest to the federal charges faced by 40 medical marijuana patients and providers for implementing California state law, and the continued harassment and intimidation of legitimate medical marijuana patients by the DEA. The notices order the DEA to cease and desist the federal attacks on medical marijuana. " As part of the 80 percent of Americans who support the legalization of medical marijuana, we have taken all of the legal steps available to us. On February 18, we will evict the DEA and rally for affirmative defense,” says Americans for Safe Access director Steph Sherer. “Until Congress changes federal law, more innocent people are going to jail unless juries are better informed about their right to vote on the issues and not just the law.” Peaceful actions are taking place throughout the week.
