Two Bay Area state legislators called on federal prosecutors today to "cease your senseless assault" on medical marijuana dispensaries, but at the same time said they want to talk to U.S. officials to clarify the goals of the crackdown.
State Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, Marin and Sonoma, and Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, spoke at a news conference at the State Building in San Francisco.
"I urge the federal government to stand down in its massive attack on medical marijuana dispensaries," Leno said.
"California voters intended that patients should have safe and affordable access to medical marijuana," he said.
