Demonstrators Rally in Support of Medicinal Marijuana On Monday, supporters of California's medicinal marijuana law conducted a public protest of the federal government's crackdown on those who use marijuana for pain relief. Supporters of Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act, rallied first in front of the State Capitol, later moving the protest to the Federal Courthouse in Sacramento. They are upset over federal arrests of Californians who claim to need marijuana for medical reasons. However, a spokesperson for the Drug Enforcement Administration said it is not targeting users, instead going after marijuana distributors and traffickers in the state. Protesters at the courthouse demanded the release of a medicinal marijuana provider. Several of the protesters were arrested after they blocked the doors to the federal building. "We are willing to hold our ground," said demonstrator Hillary Mcquie. "We are willing to escalate our non violent tactics and demand our rights." Many of the demonstrators at the rally said they rely on marijuana to relieve pain. "I have a life to live and children, but sometimes for pain relief you need to use certain medications, and marijuana is a good one," said Dan McMullan, who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. "I eat it because I don't like the smoke, but I'll eat like a half a cookie, and I get out of bed." Story last updated Monday, September 23, 2002 - 11:38 PM
