Frey’s pot law challenge fizzles at county courthouse
Ed Frey, a longtime marijuana activist, staged a protest outside Mendocino County DA Duncan James’s office by taping two small cannabis plants to the door and planting a grape vine outside. He sought to test the constitutionality of privacy-based marijuana prohibitions, but the scene drew no arrests as police were tied up with an armed robbery investigation. Frey has a history with the DA’s office after delivering plants for arrest requests and has argued state laws unfairly target cannabis while treating grape growing for wine as less severe.
