if he gets only 5-7 it's a gift from the state so he won't fight.   He doesn't want to go the fed route--20-40.

The fed's can't do anything IMHO they are too busy in the D

Channing is right up the road from me.  I go there to look for garnets and diamonds.  

 

Yes, you can find diamonds in Michigan, but it's not easy.

Well Channing is about as far from D as you can get and still be in Michigan.  The feds up here have plenty of free time.

So you live around there are you going to go to his court day?

[Celliach]

I only go to court for medical marijuana Pts.  I try to limit the scope of my activism.  While I'm all for legalization, I believe it detracts from my purpose of helping MMJ patients.  I only have so much time each day as I'm also a sick person, (COPD, interstitial cystits, chronic pancreatitis, the worst!,  and three herniated discs ) and run my own business to make a good chunk of my support money, otherwise I'd go broke.

 

Five to 55 kilos! This guy had nothing to do with MMJ.

I guess i just don't believe every thing i read in the news so thats why i do go if i can look at our case they charged us both with 20-200 plants 

and when you read about our case it don't sound like mmj case ether

this guy would do better with minorml on his side, like cell said, Its real hard to see this as an mm case, true it is a mj case, but no where does it look like he is just trying to be compassionate to pt's or taking care of pts, If it was ment to be made into oil that should have happened before they decided to travel with that much,,,even if I got cuaght with that much, I wouldnt expect any one to back me up, other than my attny!

 

Peace

When is the last time we saw minorml helping out with any case? none that i know of and with their war chest full of $$ from me and a lot others i am sorry i will not give them any of the money i don't have 

 

Back before the mmj Law i did support them but now who would go for Tax and regulate after we have had a taste of Freedom to grow are own 

 

Sorry onward not backwards
