According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the House Judiciary Committee Chairman, John Conyers, D-Mich, asked the Drug Enforcement Agency whether our nation's limited resources should be wasted by targeting medical cannabis patients and their providers.  In a letter to the agency, Rep. Conyers asked, "do you think the DEA's limited resources are best utilized conducting enforcement raids on individuals and their caregivers who are conducting themselves legally under California law?” 

The chairman also inquired into how much the agency was spending on the raids.

Conyers further questioned why civil forfeiture laws, usually reserved for "the worst drug traffickers and kingpins" would be used against landlords of medical cannabis dispensaries.  The chairman also inquired into how much the agency was spending on the raids.

Tell your representative that you support Conyers’ tough questioning of the DEA and that the agency should stop persecuting medical cannabis patients.
