Today is a tough day for the medical cannabis community, as we watch another one of our soldiers going to federal court to be sentenced for providing safe and effective medicine to patients in need.  This particular sentencing is important, as we have seen it covered in the media extensively and it is the first sentencing with this new administration and its "policy" in place.  I say use the force on them.

"THESE ARE NOT THE DRUG DEALERS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.  MOVE ALONG."  

Because we are not the criminals these laws were meant to deter.  We are not criminals in any sense of the word.  It amazes me that anyone could see providing relief to patients with a natural herb a crime.  What hypocrisy. What a load of crap.  Who the fuck do these people think they are?  Have they lost their fucking minds?  This is a healing plant.  These patients have the consent of a licensed physician who says they NEED cannabis.  And the fucked up part is that there will be no doctor testifying today.  There will be no valid debate about the legitimacy and constitutionality of the law itself.  They will attempt to demonize a man, instead of addressing the bigger issue.  A failed policy and unjust law.  

I cannot express the incredible frustration that I feel for this situation.  It enrages me.  My wife is distraught with grief.  We are ashamed of our government.  I am disgusted....again.  Yes.  Many of the feelings I felt on September 3rd, I feel right now.  The pain.  The frustration.  The PTSD.  The clear defiance.  And the sadness.  I feel them all as if it were my sentencing over again.  Seven of my hairs woke up grey this morning.  I want to scream of injustice and immorality from the core of my inner self.  

I am with you Charlie.  I am with you.  Get your Jedi on and use the lightsaber of truth to strike down the evil Sith bastards who put you here.  You are better than this and never let them tell you differently.  We shall overcome.  We SHALL overcome.

Charles Lynch needs our support this week as he faces justice and morality.  His request for a re-trial is today and we hope deeply that the Judge sees clearly the need for a retrial, as the injustice of Charlie's situation is unacceptable.  For more info on his case visit www.friendsofccl.com.  On January 12 Charlie will be facing the sentencing process, which is grueling and stressful for sure.  Please drop him a line of support or show out in support if you are in the area. The courthouse is at 312 N. Spring Street, Los Angeles.  I have confidence that all will end well, but now is the time we must stand in solidarity and proclaim "ENOUGH."  Be a part of history and do your part.  Every little bit helps.
