William R. Sherman, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) San Diego Field Division has declared an outright war on medical marijuana patients in San Diego. Without any regard for State law or local regulations, Sherman has commandeered local law enforcement to enforce federal law and has executed hundreds of raids on medical marijuana patients. Through these raids, the DEA has stolen millions of dollars in cash and medicine from patients in San Diego.

Most recently Sherman appeared on NBC television in San Diego to claim that smoked cannabis has no medical value, and to declare war on the remaining safe access that does exist.

    Douche bag!

  • Jaden

    Obviously he doesn’t know anything about it and its medicinal qualities, one being the cure for cancer. Unreal.

  • POT-SMOKING-VETERAN

    Since this guy obviously cant read, I will try to sink to his level. EAT A DICK SHERMAN!

  • GhettO1stamendment

    This guy is drunk.

  • Johnny Bloomington

    He’s just trying to validate his job. I see fear in his eyez!

    • 2buds

      Especially in the face of possible “sequester” cuts – perhaps in his own office. He needs money and stealing it from cannabis users is an easy thing for him to do with forfeiture laws on his side. Sick.

    Is he a doctor? He knows nothing about medcan, that’s for sure.

    what freakin planet has this idiot been living on?There’s millions of doctors that agree that medicinal marijuana is indeed beneficial and real.The scientific data also say’s that marijuana is indeed a medicinal aide and a medicine in it’s own right.everybody just ignored the feds etc and started growing and using it they would not be able to take on the entire country and the millions that use marijuana

  • FREEDOM FIGHTER

    HE ONLY KNOWS ANGER AND SADNESS IN LIFE! ITS OBVIOUS HE HAS NEVER SMOKED OR RESEARCHED CANNABIS AND MEDICAL FACTS… SO FUCK YOU SHERMAN!!!

  • sheerah

    Yeah but Jack Daniels is legal right…why so..? It is MORE dangerous than marijuana…double standard dont ya think…oh and how about cigarettes i suppose those are good for you….also legal….keep lining your own pockets…at least pot smokers are not pill heads who claim to need more medication for pain…live and let live for christs sake…dont you have anything better to do?

    • Vixxis

      No, he doesnt have anything better to do. That’s the problem.

  • incogneatow

    San Diego is a military & defense contractor haven. There are several bases and over 15,000 business rely on defense contracts. The feds are trying to protect their interests in San Diego so they are using Mr. Sherman to facilitate this.

    By the time the DEA shuts down all of these medicinal access points for patients, cannabis will be legalized in California (including the defense industry’s precious San Diego).

    What are they afraid of??? In time, I’ll tell you.

  • JheriCurl

    Dude must get stipends from Big Pharma! ;)

  • Ken Drogorub

    The DEA’s William R. Sherman needs to be arrested on charges of crimes against humanity.

    This is completely ridiculous.

    • http://powerandcontrol.blogspot.com/ M. Simon

      Thank YOU!

      Medical Marijuana prohibition is a crime against humanity and a violation of the religious precept – heal the sick.

      Pass it on.

  • Trommy

    I can not imagine telling a damaging, monstrous lie to keep something going that never should have been. Do these people have no conscience?
    Do they really want to continue imprisoning, destroying and killing people just so they can keep their jobs. You would have to be sick to want that or completely ignorant.

    This guy make me feel that the only thing I would do for the U suck A is pay tax on smoking KIND

  • timbambam

    If this guy continues to do thing that go against the laws he is being paid to protect than he must be fired. He is a loose csnnon who feels like his whole world and everything he believes in is crumbling at his feet. Get over ut. We the people are winning

  • nygratefulfred

    I guess it is easier and safer for this moron to bust Medicinal Marijuana patients than Heroin importers/dealers-Meth Labs,terrorists,etc.

  • The Brain

    No medical value?? Really..
    Hmmm believe medical research from scientists or Senior Douchebag..
    Tough one…

  • http://www.facebook.com/bill.jones.94043 Bill Jones

    Sit him down with all the MD’s that used it back in the day. They would have a field day with this moron. To make an idiotic statement like “marijuana is not medicine” you’d have to make up your mind to be completely ignorant of any and all research done to date. Bill Jones, RN, BSN, EC Cannabis cured my cancer but I don’t think he will be accepting of that information anytime soon.

  • QuaxMercy

    Not only does this fraud not know medical science (Hey Sherman! Try Dr. Donald Abrams, Dr. Lester Grinspoon, Dr. William Courtney, Dr. Andrew Weil! Get back to me on that!), but he also doesn’t know our history: Cannabis placed TEMPORARILY in Sched. 1 pending results of Shafer Commission investigation – which Nixon then reneged on, and there it remains. WE MAINTAIN A SCHIZOPHRENIC POLICY on Cannabis world-wide by allowing these KNOWNOTHINGS to spout their lies with impunity. LEOS have completely walled themselves off from the advancing world research as if it didn’t exist. Show me one who can acknowledge medical efficacy.
    Sherman, you should be ashamed to get up in the morning. You should be ashamed to tell your son you are a liar for a living. Does he want to be a liar when he grows up, like his old man?

  • Apparition

    I hope that Special Agent William R. Sherman gets killed by a drunken driver …. soon.

  • jonny pot seed

  • thebest

    This dude a dumbass he probally never smoked in his life and pot is better then liquor there’s no deaths from pot this dude needs to stop trying to change the law grow up and get with the era

  • Johnny oneye

    why would the US government own patents for THC ? why would the federal government mail joints to the remaining patients in the federal cannabis program?
    why would The UK allow GW Pharma to grow sell SATIVEX while arresting people for healing themselves?
    because they set up the single narcotics convention , lumping all drugs into 1 basket:: illegal drugs
    Cannabis is the safest medicine on the planet! And every state that adapts antiprohibitionist laws removes some people from the MATrix the drug laws in the US have created
    A big scam , a war on the people backed up by 1 lie after another
    And they cant afford to Lock up thousands , but they keep doing it
    and we get to foot the bill.
    people are not that dumb ,when states vote for cannabis laws you see numbers like 60/40 50/50 49/51
    these numbers have steadily increased over the years
    How many people have been effected by these archaic drug laws?
    how many single moms or teenagers have been thrown into the matrix?
    eventually everyone will be effected !
    US DRUG policy is the biggest scam on the people by the Government
    End the WAR ON DRUGS
    take the green pil NEMO

  • chuck

    attention… beer is a gateway drink…. it will lead you to wine, wiskey and mixed drinks… and quite possibly in the privacy of your own home…….stay with safe things like cigarretts, prescription pills . I’m so glad the government is concerned about me !!

  • Mark

    I guess he hasn’t heard what all the doctors that has done research on Cannabis. He needs to go after the real Criminals, not the people who need help with pain. Plus Agent Sherman is not a doctor. He is listening to all the lies our Government as been telling Americans about Pot. How it is a gateway drug…Not True…how it is addictive…Not True…
    Pot is no addictive than eating cotton candy.
