OPERATION ENDLESS SUMMER / GREEN Rx - Eugene Davidovich July 13th, 2009 - 8:15 AM - Department 11 San Diego Superior Court - 220 W. Broadway San Diego, CA 92101
My name is Eugene Davidovich I am a medical cannabis patient and operated a nonprofit collective here in San Diego until last February when my house was raided and I arrested in ‘Operation Green Rx’ later announced by the District Attorney in a press conference as ‘Operation Endless Summer’. In this operation a local San Diego Police Detective lied to his doctor about his identity and condition, obtained a valid recommendation for medical marijuana and joined the majority of the medical collectives and coops listed on the San Diego section of the CA NORML list.
The detective called me and joined the collective. While pretending to be a sick patient, he requested that I deliver medical cannabis to him. Having seen him once and provided him with a ¼ ounce of medical cannabis, I am now facing 4 felony charges, $65,000 bail, and permanent damage to my professional and personal life. This was a clear and direct attempt by the San Diego DA’s office to shut down all nonprofit medical marijuana collective cultivation/distribution efforts in San Diego.
Please show your support by coming to court on July 13th. For more information and to see the video of the actual delivery of medication to the collective member (undercover officer), please visit: http://www.eugenedavidovich.com/

Here in California it has been over a decade since the Compassionate Use Act. Several years since SB420, and almost a year since the California Attorney General's guidelines. As of today, we even have had Congress urge the department of justice to clarify medical marijuana policy and stop the DEA raids.
However here in San Diego we still the San Diego DA’s Office saying there is no such thing as a legal collective or cooperative, and that anyone who engages in an attempt to cultivate and distribute collectively is obviously in it for profit, "why else would they get in to this activity".
There are many patients and collectives in San Diego who have gone above and beyond what is required in order to comply and stay within the law. Yet every attempt made to date by collectives and coops to follow the law in San Diego has resulted in long investigations, prosecutions, and collectives having to operate so deeply underground and under such intense daily fear and pressure, that the potential public benefit they could be bringing to the community and to patients is stifled by this environment of fear.
The DA has made it clear, San Diego is not a safe place for collectives, here patients are rounded up in drug sting operations, prosecuted, and forced into taking plea bargains. The few that put up a fight are thrown in jail or worse as in Steve McWilliams' case, are forced to take their own life.
We as a community need to educate the public on the truth and benefits of medical cannabis and the laws already in place.
How many more years need to pass and how many more lives need to be destroyed until there is change in San Diego?
