Rally protests federal raid on Oakland pot trade school
Wednesday, April 4, 2012
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at City Hall to demand  federal respect for state and local marijuana laws, a day after federal  agents raided the state's first pot trade school and a related  dispensary across the bay in Oakland. The San Francisco rally and march to a nearby federal building was  planned before Monday's raid. But the sweep on businesses owned by  prominent marijuana activist Richard Lee emboldened protesters and brought denunciations from local officials and lawmakers in five states with medical cannabis laws.
