GoogleOn April 2, federal agents raided Oaksterdam
University as well as the home of Richard Lee, Oaksterdam
founder and the main supporter of Prop 19, California's 2010
initiative to legalize marijuana that received 46% of the
vote.
On April 3, several hundred people gathered at a rally at the San
Francisco City Hall to protest the federal government's crackdown
on medical marijuana dispensaries.
On the City Hall steps, six of the eleven San Francisco Supervisors
spoke out against the federal crackdown, as did representatives of
the city council, the city attorney's office and the California
State Legislature.
Later in the day, protestors marched to the Federal Building a few
blocks away and chanted "DEA go away" to a line of federal officers
guarding the entrance.
Approximately 2 minutes.
