William R. Sherman, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) San Diego Field Division has declared an outright war on medical marijuana patients in San Diego. Without any regard for State law or local regulations, Sherman has commandeered local law enforcement to enforce federal law and has executed hundreds of raids on medical marijuana patients. Through these raids, the DEA has stolen millions of dollars in cash and medicine from patients in San Diego.
Most recently Sherman appeared on NBC television in San Diego to claim that smoked cannabis has no medical value, and to declare war on the remaining safe access that does exist.
