Today in San Francisco patients, landlords, medical cannabis cooperative owners and their lawyers are holding a press conference at 11 am to announce a lawsuit they’re collectively filing that looks to bring an end to the ridiculous federal crackdown on marijuana dispensaries and their landlords throughout the state.
Last month, 9 members of Congress filed a similar suit against the feds, but didn’t demand an immediate end, via a restraining order, to block the bogus crackdown. The new suit will be brought simultaneously in each of the four federal districts in California – San Francisco (Northern), Sacramento (Eastern), Los Angeles (Central) and San Diego (Southern) – where U.S. Attorneys threatened criminal prosecution of both tenants and landlords of medical marijuana dispensaries as well as threatened property forfeiture.
“This is multipronged, organized effort to get into court and to send a message to the federal government that we need to stop the aggression and sit down and talk reasonably about these issues,” said San Francisco attorney Matt Kumin, one of the lawyers bringing on the federal suit.
