ENFORCING MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAW
Re "DEA's pot raid draws protests," Dec. 15: The article failed to mention
that the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted to reject enforcement
of Proposition 215 and to sue the state in federal court over said
enforcement. El Dorado County officials have expressed a similar view.
The irony in El Dorado County is that when the feds say "spotted owl" or
"Indian casino" or "asbestos" the El Dorado County "hillbillies" get riled
up and march to protest the unreasonable, overreaching federal authorities.
Nearly two-thirds of Californians voted for Proposition 215. The rest work
for the government in some capacity and are trying not to lose their slice
of jurisdictional pie and promote this continued, egregious abuse of process.
