WEAKLY COVERAGE OF CANNABIS RAIDS by C. Brown

It strikes me odd that Citybeat an established "alternative" weekly paper here in LA carried absolutely no coverage, not even a single mention of last Wednesday's big story of mass DEA raids on eleven cannabis clubs in West Hollywood, and the ensuing protests.



I've heard the Citybeat's publisher is a stout republican, but considering his advertisers are some of the same cannabis clubs that the DEA forced to shutdown, I sincerely hope he decides to pick up the ball real soon.

Meanwhile a new paper, the Westside Chronicle, covered the story on their front page:

PROTESTERS PLEA: "Stop Arresting Medical Marijuana Patients"


SAFE ACCESS?—Supporters of Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act, approved by voters in 1996, which made marijuana available by prescription for medicinal uses, protest outside West Hollywood City Hall Thursday outraged at the recent raids on medical marijuana dispensaries in and around the city.

DEA raids in West Hollywood prompt medical marijuana supporters to take to the streets.

By Andrea Simpson

“Imagine that you are already suffering from some sort of illness and your doctor tells you that there is one thing that might be able to help you. The good news is that there is something that can help you. The bad news is you get put on the federal government’s wanted list,” said Steph Sherer, founder and executive director of Americans for Safe Access.
This is the same sentiment felt by the mass of people who stood in protest with banners and signs held high and voices loud chanting “DEA go away” outside West Hollywood City Hall Thursday to fight against what they believe are unlawful acts by the federal government to storm medical marijuana facilities and confiscate patients records and medications. This is exactly what happened Wednesday afternooon.

CityBeat's Dean Kuipers deserves kudos for his article last week analyzing the drug war on the national level.

"A Change in the Weather" is about the recent shift of power (Bush backlash) to the democrats which has opened the door for the newly appointed subcommittee "progressive" Dennis Kucinich. Mr Kucinich not only supports medical marijuana, but also industrial hemp.

At last a politician dedicated to do what's right!
