Federal drug agents on Friday raided a rural Lake County home where members
of San Francisco's largest medical marijuana club planned to have a
pot-planting party this weekend.

Acting on a federal search warrant, representatives of the Drug Enforcement
Administration seized 250 plants. The 20 agents also took three to four
pounds of the processed plant from the home, rented by the Cannabis Healing
Center, DEA spokeswoman Joycelyn Barnes said.

Four people present were not arrested. Barnes described the farm as the
residence of Dennis Peron, the former head of the club, but Peron was not
there at the time of the raid.

Despite the raid, the club will proceed with the planting party, Peron said.
