CALIFORNIA: MEDICINAL MARIJUANA RAID
Federal agents arrested two prominent advocates of using marijuana for
medicinal purposes in an early morning raid at their farm in Davenport,
near Santa Cruz. The owners, Michael and Valerie Corral, were arrested on
charges of conspiracy and suspicion of intent to distribute marijuana,
Richard Meyer, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Agency in San
Francisco, said. Agents seized three rifles, a shotgun and more than 150
marijuana plants. The raid was a surprise to local authorities, who said
the Corrals' farm complied with the state's medical marijuana law.
