Medical marijuana advocates rallied in San Francisco today to support newly-adopted guidelines on marijuana sales.

About a dozen members of the group "Axis of Love" voiced support for the new rules California Attorney General Jerry Brown announced last week.

Those rules include an affirmation that medical marijuana cooperatives and collectives are legitimate, but cannot operate for profit, cannot obtain marijuana from illegal sources and must have an organized structure that can be demonstrated through definitive record-keeping. They also encourage patients to obtain a state-issued medical marijuana patient identification card.

"It gives direction where there was a shadowy aspect (to medical marijuana operations)," said Shona Gochenaur of the Axis of Love. "Now law enforcement has guidelines and for law enforcement that wants to stay compliant, now they have the go-ahead from the attorney general."

The group also called on Congress to investigate federal raids on California medical marijuana distributors.
