Miller was also joined by two other East Bay congressional representatives this week in sending a letter to the U.S. Attorney in Northern California, urging that office to stop the "ongoing hostility" against medical marijuana dispensaries.
Miller signed the letter along with Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Dublin).
The letter states, in part:
"It is our view that the intent of the Justice Department is to not enforce its anti-marijuana laws in conflict with the laws of states that have chosen to decriminalize marijuana for medical and recreational uses. California understands the urgency toward putting together a statewide regulatory system, and we can all be helpful in that regard, but some municipalities, including Oakland, have already done an extraordinary job regulating medical marijuana. California is moving in the correct direction in a measured manner, and should be given the opportunity to do so."
