The Contra Costa Times reports that the city of Berkeley has a plan to provide medical Marijuana to patients, should the DEA raid their dispensaries. This reporter is quite impressed, what a powerful statement! Here's the usual snip:

Berkeley is considering a plan to help get medical marijuana to patients if the Drug Enforcement Administration shuts down any of the city-permitted cannabis clubs.

The plan by City Councilmen Darryl Moore and Kriss Worthington already has drawn fire from the Berkeley police, the city manager's office and the DEA.

The resolution before the City Council on Tuesday night declares Berkeley a sanctuary for medical marijuana users and distributors, and says "the city itself shall ensure a continuum of access to medical marijuana" if the DEA moves in.

This should be policy for all major cities that have medical Marijuana programs, the DEA has no business taking away medicine from people who need it. Do we have any readers in or around Berkeley, CA?
