State Sen. Carole Migden Introduces Resolution
Quote: ASA and an ad-hoc coalition of reform organizations have been reaching out to California elected officials since letters threatening property owners began arriving last summer. The Senator’s resolution is the highest profile example to date of growing dissatisfaction among California leaders, who increasingly see DEA activity as undue interference in the state’s right to implement medical cannabis laws and regulate providers. Senator Migden joins Los Angeles City Council Member Dennis Zine, Orange County Supervisor Chris Norby, Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, and others in opposing the DEA actions. Support from our state officials is a crucial element in ASA’s ongoing effort to stop the DEA attacks on patients’ access to medicine. This is exactly the kind of support that US House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers needs to bolster his promised investigation of DEA conduct in California . ASA and our allies applaud Senator Migden’s initiative and urge her colleagues in the California legislature to move quickly to adopt the resolution. ASA is working everyday to defend safe access in states where it is legal and to eliminate federal barriers to access and research. The Senator’s resolution is just another example of how we are moving forward. We can not keep doing this work without your support, so please join ASA or make an extra contribution today! Sincerely, Don Duncan California Director Americans for Safe Access |
