CALIFORNIA: GOVERNMENTS SPAR ON MARIJUANA
Santa Cruz officials filed a lawsuit demanding that federal agents stay
away from a farm growing marijuana for sick and dying people. The suit,
against Attorney General John Ashcroft and the Drug Enforcement
Administration, follows a D.E.A. raid in September on the small pot farm
about 15 miles north of Santa Cruz. Agents uprooted about 165 plants and
arrested the owners, Valerie and Michael Corral. Marijuana is illegal under
federal law but a California law allows it to be grown and distributed to
people with a doctor's prescription. YY (AP)
