In 1999 the Marin co. DA Kamena had betrayed our support from the Marin Alliance for Med MJ much in the same manner that Cooley has betrayed you all. She went after all of us viciously after gaining her job. sounds very similar to what you are experiencing.
We joined a recall campaign that had been launched about family law issues and Kamena. She was a really bad DA.
It only takes 10% of registered voters WHO VOTED IN THE ELECTION THAT HIRED THE DA, from your specific area to force an election to fire the DA for violating the people's will.
Cooley was elected with not a great turnout,@ 620,000, so you need @62,000 signers to place the question on the next ballot. a special election may be required, it depends on the timing.
This will be cheaper than all the prosecutions he is planning to spend your tax money on! plus once we qualified the recall for our local ballot the DA stopped all prosecutions of medical cannabis and it changed the Marin co.pot policy for the much better. - even when we lost (due to the other, confusing family law problem - don't mix in any other issues, was our lesson!)
My advice: file for the recall papers ASAP. Send out your press releases.
It will stop the raids and prosecutions IMMEDIATELY.
Write a SIMPLE, EASY to UNDERSTAND statement to recall (i.e. fire) the DA over the medical cannabis dispensary issue.
file and print up your petitions.
get everyone to register to vote and sign the recall.
qualify with more than enough sigs, file it and prepare for the campaign.
I am available for consulting.

Pot Doc Down By FRED GARDNER Hany Youssef Assad, MD, who has approved cannabis use by some 40,000 patients over the past seven years, is having his license revoked by the Medical Board of California. The board issued its order Oct. 23. Assad can no longer see patients after Nov. 23.
The American Medical Association’s reversal of its 72 year old position supporting marijuana as a Schedule I substance with no medical value, is a remarkable breakthrough. Sunil Aggarwal, Ph.D., who is part of the Medical & Scientific Advisory Board of Americans for Safe Access (ASA), was the primary leader in initiating this change. He deserves a great deal of appreciation from us. News source: Read More...

Maine voters come through again! YES 59% 330,490 NO 41% 232,790. The new and improved law will add to debilitating medical conditions and allow for a volunteer patient ID system with permission for non-profit state regulated dispensaries.
This is so great for us patients here in Maine. Also it changes that a visiting qualified patient can access and have protection in Maine also.

Defending Maine Patients rights to Medical Marijuana with compassion
Oakland, Ca-- University of Cannabis is presenting a free online grow class with enrollment limited to 30 seats. This is a rehearsal class for Marijuana Horticulture 001 and is meant for beginners. November 5th Free Grow Class
A spokesperson for California Attorney General Jerry Brown told the New York Times that the nonprofit sales of medical cannabis in storefront patients’ collectives are legal. The Attorney General is speaking up in response to a growing controversy about how to regulate hundreds of collectives and cooperatives in Los Angeles. City Attorney Carmen Trutanich told City Councilmembers in September that storefront collectives and nonprofit sales of cannabis are illegal, despite guidelines issued by the Attorney General last year that indicate otherwise.
The stakes in the debate in Los Angeles are high. Lawmakers in Sacramento, Long Beach, San Diego, and dozens of smaller cities are looking to see how the state’s largest city resolves the issue, which has pitted regulation-minded City Councilmembers against and intransigent City Attorney’s office for over two years. If Trutanich is successful in rolling back safe access in Los Angeles, patients and advocates in other cities can expect to see medical cannabis opponents adopt the same strategy in their hometowns.
Americans for Safe Access (ASA) is pushing back in Los Angels. We have been working City Councilmembers, the City Attorney’s office, and city staff to develop and implement sensible regulations for patients’ associations since 2005. We have also galvanized a grassroots base here that can fill City Council chambers, interface with neighborhood groups, or respond with peaceful protests if necessary. The significance of that grassroots presence must not be underestimated. Without it, opponents might have swept away safe and legal access to medical cannabis in Los Angels years ago.
District Attorney Cooley and City Attorney Trutanich would do well to listen to what the Attorney General Brown (and the California courts) have to say. They should drop their adversarial posture and embrace regulations like those already in place in cities and counties statewide – including Los Angels County. Research by ASA shows that regulations reduce crime and complaints around collectives. That is exactly what the City Council and other Angelinos want… And that is what patients need.

Reconciling Medical Pot Use and Legalization
More than 500 devotees of the cannabis plant attended the 38th annual NORML convention at the Grand Hyatt in San Francisco September 24-26. The crowd was not only larger than in previous years, but people seemed to be listening more intently to the speakers, less apt to gab outside the auditorium. NORML's goals have been remote and vague for decades; now they seem attainable and in need of definition.
Local media coverage centered on the "Regulate, Control, and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010" that is likely to be on the California ballot in November 2010. If approved by the voters, it would allow adults over 21 to cultivate, possess, and share up to an ounce. Distribution would be regulated and taxed by local governments.... Read More...
Jack's awake and out of ICU. He's not talking yet or moving around much. He starts physical therapy on Monday. I just want to thank everyone so much for all the prayers and good wishes. They really seem to be working. Progress will probably be slow so please keep it up.
I will try to keep everyone up-to-date on Jack's condition. I've been really busy with Jack and don't have my computer with me and haven't figured out how to update his website (www.jackherer.com) on the loaner computer yet.
People have been asking if there is a way to donate money to help Jack. An account has been set up at the U.S. Bank at:
Emanuel Hospital Office
220 N Stanton
Portland, OR 97227
(503) 275-7280
Just tell them you would like to donate to Jack Herer.
