MEDICAL MARIJUANA BACKERS PLAN MARCH AGAINST RAIDS

Medical marijuana backers plan to march from the police department to City Hall next week to protest recent dispensary raids in Vallejo.

The "Peaceful Protest and Advocacy March" is being organized by members of the now shuttered Better Health Group dispensary at 3611 Sonoma Blvd.  The dispensary closed after a third raid by police on June 22.

"We're organizing a rally to speak out against the raids and, in general, this kind of thuggish behavior by the police," said Morgan Hannigan, a 24-year-old dispensary volunteer and Vallejo resident.
