Ignoring guidelines recently issued by Attorney General Jerry
Brown, written with support from advocacy group Americans for Safe
Access, the Feds raided four medipot shops this past week - two in Long
Beach, one in Laguna Beach and one in Cherryland. "DEA activity
continues despite attempts at oversight and scrutiny," says ASA's
George Pappas.
  Who got hit:
• Long Beach Holistics, 745 E. Fourth St.
• HHA, Long Beach, 834 E. Fourth St.
• We Are Henp, Cherryland (Alameda County), 931 East Lewelling Blvd.
• Laguna Beach Holistic Center
ASA reports: "Local law enforcement participated in the raids in Alameda and Laguna Beach, though it is unconfirmed whether local police were
involved in the Long Beach raids. This comes just one month after
California Attorney General Jerry Brown explicitly directed all California police
to obey local and state, not federal laws. It was uncertain why local
police were violating the directive of the Attorney General, though
departments that participated have been identified as expressly hostile
to California's medical cannabis law."
