BACKGROUND

Trichome Healing Caregivers, the first collective to serve patients in the San Fernando Valley, was raided by the DEA on August 30, 2006, without a warrant.

When an undercover agent tried to register without appropriate documentation, security realized the fake-patient had a radio and gun. The agent was asked to identify himself but instead called into his radio "please don't hurt me." Nearly ten other agents kicked in the front door. The collective originally thought they being robbed.

Staff was held at gunpoint and security was detained for 11 hours without food, water or access to counsel. There were no arrests but all medicine, cash, computers and records were seized. The LAPD had to be called to the scene to insure the safety the detainees and appeared not to know that the DEA was conducting business in LA.

Los Angeles City Council stated before its recess that regulations were on the way. Therefore, the DEA need to go on its way!

That sounded ugly.

Im sorry to hear that. Agents love stooping to new lows in order to promote their cause. I once had an agent visit the shop, yet his reccomendation looked as if it was made with microsoft word, it had no seal, and the number to the "medical office" was false. When i denied him access, he went irrate, screaming that this is an outrage and has never had this problem elsewhere. I told him he needed to leave, or he would be escorted out of the building and the police would be called. So he storms out and about 10 minuts later guy is still outside in the parking lot, so i went outside to ask him to please leave, he must have felt as if i were hostile so he put his hand on his weapon and pulls a badge out of his pocket and tells me that if "we were smart we would leave town". Where i simply smiled and told him "to have a nice day" haha.

I wanted to make it down to the rally today, but my schedule would not permit it. I hope you have numerous showing, and the media covers the story in a postive light, rather than passing us off as "drugged-out addicts looking for the next high"...

stay upp
