Update on SocalPure Raid

Below is an update from SoCal Pure a legal, state sanctioned medical cannabis collective raided last week in San Diego County.

On October 9, SocalPURE was raided. Keep in mind that this was a legal medical marijuana collective operating under the law of the State of California. At approximately 9:40 am, there was a violent knock at the door; anybody who’s ever been to our office would know exactly how shocking that would be. Our members are patients, many of them older. We work hard to maintain an atmosphere of calm and professionalism at all times. Violence of any kind is unheard of unless it came through the computer in the form of breaking news.

The receptionist went to the door and was confronted by an officer in full body armor; and though he opened the door and raised his hands, was then thrown down to the ground. The other people in the office were treated just as roughly as the office was filled with between 15-20 heavily armed officers and agents from: the Vista Sheriff’s Department, ATF, DEA, Homeland Security, the Narcotics Task Force, and the Gang Task Force. Again, this was all for three unarmed people operating under the laws of the State of California.
