AGENTS RAID FARM THAT GROWS MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Santa Cruz, Calif. - Federal agents raided a marijuana farm Thursday
and arrested the owners, Valerie and Michael Corral.

Officers seized more than 100 marijuana plants, three rifles and a
shotgun, said Richard Meyer, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement
Administration.

The Corrals were arrested on federal charges of intent to distribute
marijuana and conspiracy, he said. The Corrals helped write the 1996
law that allows patients and their caregivers to grow marijuana for
their own medicine. They work with local authorities to dispense their
pot to people with doctors' recommendations to use marijuana.
