The suit follows a Drug Enforcement Administration raid in September on a small marijuana farm about 15 miles north of Santa Cruz. Agents uprooted about 165 plants and arrested the owners, Valerie and Michael Corral. The raid outraged residents of Santa Cruz, where police work closely with medical marijuana users and growers.
