Marijuana protest planned – San Bernardino County Sun
Protesters plan to gather today in front of the San Bernardino County Health Department building in opposition to the county’s resistance to issuing medical-marijuana identification cards, according to a statement from the Marijuana Anti-Prohibition Project.
“What the court has told them twice now is that the law is constitutional,” said Lanny Swerdlow, a registered nurse and the group’s director. “You have to issue the I.D. card.”
Protesters plan to gather at 11 a.m. at 351 N. Mountain View Ave., San Bernardino.
Then the protesters will walk over to the county government building to speak before the Board of Supervisors, Swerdlow said.

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
