The United States v. Michael Martin... It sounds so eerie and overwhelming when I think about it -- almost ominous. I think to myself All of The United States Versus ME?” that doesn't seem right - eighty percent of the population favors medical marijuana. Many of the states that are supposedly “VERSUS”  me have medical cannabis legislation on the books. 

This effort does not seem very “UNITED” at all!  Just another example of overzealous bureacrats refusing to acknowledge the will of the people and protecting big business lobbyists in D.C.  Don't we have a war going on that same premise? When will we stand up and demand our government listen to us? Are we all so whacked out on pills, booze, and coffee that we cannot understand that we are being fleeced right under our noses? I look at all the things we “DON’T” have money for: school books, national healthcare, poverty, New Orleans, etc... and I get sick to my stomach thinking the government is wasting millions digging through my garbage to make a case not just against my co-defendants and I, but against medical cannabis! How could such an innocent plant and benign substance get so terribly misconstrued for something evil? Plants are not evil and never will be. This witch hunt and posturing is unnecessary. We voted, go home! This has been the weirdest month of my life to say the least, and in the words of Hunter S. Thompson, "IF THE GOING IS GOING TO GET THIS WEIRD THEN I AM GOING TO TURN PRO FOR SURE..."

Help with the Legal Defense Fund for Saving Tainted from wrongful persecution, any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
