WASHINGTON, DC (Reuters Health) Jun 06 –
Activists criticizing the US government’s partial crackdown on the medical use of marijuana began a nationwide string of protests at Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) offices Thursday. The protests began when 10 protesters were arrested by federal police after chaining themselves together outside of Justice Department headquarters, federal police confirmed. Activists said they were protesting DEA plans to crack down on “cannabis clubs” in California, cooperatives known for growing and distributing marijuana to patients with AIDS, cancer and other illnesses.
Protests were also planned for Thursday afternoon outside of DEA headquarters in Arlington, Virginia and at 55 other DEA offices around the country, according to activists.
