US: Ed Rosenthal Raided and Arrested by DEA
Steve Kubby, Pot TV News Cannabis Culture, Canada
Tuesday 12 Feb 2002 OAKLAND, CA -- Cannabis authority Ed Rosenthal was raided at 6 AM this Tuesday morning by DEA agents. Several witness said that Rosenthal was also arrested, but no official confirmation from the DEA has been forthcoming. According to reports from California NORML Dale Gieringer and legal expert, Chris Conrad, the raid was still in progress, as of 10 AM and no county or state agencies appear to be involved. Unconfirmed reports indicate top 215 attorney William Panzer will be representing the 55 year-old author of the long-running "Ask Ed" column in High Times and Cannabis Culture. The raid appears to be carefully timed to coincide with Asa Hutchinson's scheduled talk at the Commonwealth Club in nearby San Francisco. "It sends a creepy message to the entire cannabis community," said Steve Kubby, who co-authored "Why Marijuana Should Be Legal," with Mr. Rosenthal.
