Earlier this morning at 9am, the home of a Sacramento dispensary operator was raided by the DEA, FBI and Sacramento Sheriff. The multi-agency raid was conducted with search warrants for the home and car of one of the operators of Capitol Alternatives. The operator was not arrested, but paperwork and medicine was confiscated.

Later this morning, at approximately 11am, the DEA, with the active participation of the Sacramento Police Department, raided the Capitol Alternatives dispensary in Sacramento. Police are currently holding everyone inside the dispensary (we're not sure if patients are inside), and there is a protest happening right now outside the dispensary.

If you are in the area, please go to Capitol Alternatives at 2020 16th Street in Sacramento and protest these outrageous raid by local and federal law enforcement. This is a direct attack on patients and providers of medical marijuana.

There have been no reports of other dispensaries being raided.
