LAKEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - Marijuana activists are headed to an Obama campaign office to protest what they consider "hostile actions" from the administration.

Pot activists say that President Barack Obama's administration is making "attacks" on medical marijuana patients.

Several activists were headed to a campaign office in Lakewood Thursday to hand out pamphlets and criticize the administration's approach to marijuana.

A spokeswoman for the Obama campaign in Colorado had no immediate statement on the marijuana protest.

Similar protests were planned in six other states, some at Obama campaign offices and some at federal buildings.
