Yesterday, the California passed SJR 20 on a 24-15 vote. Introduced by Senator Carole Migden, this resolution urges the President and Congress of the United States to enact legislation requiring federal law enforcement to respect state medical marijuana laws, to cease raids of medical marijuana dispensaries that are operating legally under California and local law, and to return any assets seized from medical marijuana dispensaries and collectives to the states in which they are located.
This is a very exciting move forward for medical cannabis patients throughout the state. If passed by the Assembly, this resolution will send a resounding statement nationwide saying to the Federal government that Californians are taking a stand and calling for an end to DEA attacks!
SJR 20 heads next to the Assembly. Since it is a non-binding resolution, the governor does not need to sign it.
