UPDATE 3/9:
Kerry Reynolds of KMUD was able to interview Sheba Love, wife of Sherry Glaser. (The sound clip is embedded above courtesy of that radio station and Reynolds.) In it, Love contends that the home raided containing the $65,000 and the hash lab were not associated with Love in It Cooperative.
Later, Terri Klemetson was able to interview Sherry Glaser who described the experience. Glaser’s response starts just before the 15 minute mark. She reiterates that the butane used for hash extraction did not belong to her cooperative.

Yesterday, search warrants were served on the Love in It Cooperative in Mendocino. The business provided dried cannabis, clones, kief, and marijuana food products as well as a “Bed, Bud and Breakfast.”
DEA agents as well as various Mendocino County law enforcement agencies seized marijuana products as well as guns, $65,000, and around 800 plants.
Americans for Safe Access, a national marijuana advocacy group, reported yesterday that a patient attempted to access the business and was turned away by an officer.
UPDATE: One of those arrested is Sherry Glaser, political activist and actress, known for her 2005 topless appearance on the steps of the California State Capitol building to protest policies by then Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Glaser was arrested then. Later, a court ruled that this a violation of her right to free speech.
