Medical Marijuana Activists In California Protest Raids And Prosecutions

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - JULY 18: Medical marijuana patients and advocates protest outside of the State of California building on July 18, 2011 in San Francisco, California. Medical marijuana patients and advocates held a demonstration outside of the State of California buildings in San Francisco and Los Angeles to express their concerns over a recent Drug Enforcement Agency memo that suggests that the DEA will reverse U.S. president Barack Obama's 2009 policy to not bring federal drug law prosecutions against individuals in compliance with state medical marijuana laws.
