SAN DIEGO -- Police arrested seven medical marijuana advocates Tuesday
for refusing orders to disperse while protesting outside a U.S. Drug
Enforcement Agency convention in Mission Valley.

Officers took the demonstrators into custody in front of a Marriott
hotel on Rio San Diego Drive shortly after noon, said Steph Sherer of
Americans for Safe Access, an advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.

The arrestees, who were among about 60 demonstrators taking part in the
rally, refused to leave until they spoke with DEA Administrator Karen Tandy.

They planned to ask Tandy "where they should get their medicine, now
that the agency has shut down all medical cannabis dispensaries in the
area," Sherer said.

"When she declined, San Diego police arrested the seven for trespassing
and cited one," Sherer said, adding that the eighth was a man in a
wheelchair.

All of them are medical marijuana patients who have been prescribed the
drug for various ailments, she said.

Those arrested were taken to SDPD Eastern Division headquarters, where
they were cited and released on their own recognizance.
