.NORML: Berkeley Patients Group Got A Federal Letter

From a report by California NORML Director Dale Gieringer at the behest of Congressman Barney Frank:
“As of this writing, DEA agents are actively investigating numerous other law-abiding, tax-paying San Francisco dispensaries. Across the Bay, the U.S. Attorney sent 1000-foot notice letters to the landlords of two prominent collectives that have been operating for years without complaint under established city ordinances. Both are well known for their active support for marijuana law reform. They are the Blue Sky Coffee Shop in Oakland, operated by Richard Lee, the renowned proponent of California’s 2010 legalization initiative, and the Berkeley Patients’ Group, one of the oldest collectives in the state, which is ideally located in a fenced lot with excellent security and parking.”
