Public Service Announcement by Savoy
I’m getting involved in the case of Charles Lynch. I never met the guy, but I’ve done my research. He’s a guy in his mid 40s, no criminal record, who opened a medical marijuana shop in his hometown in California. It’s entirely legal here. City officials came to the ribbon cutting and he got a state business license and complied with all state and local laws. Then the DEA raided him and took him to federal court. At his trial, they were not allowed to tell the jury about state law, or about medical marijuana. They just talked about the volumes that he sold. They weren’t allowed to produce receipts that showed it was for medical use only, or even hint at the fact that this was legal under the laws of California. To the jury, it sounded like he was dealing drugs out of his backpack. They found him guilty and he is looking at spending the rest of his life in jail. (sentencing is in October)
I don’t really care about marijuana. If this were in one of the 35 states where medical marijuana isn’t legal, this would be unfortunate, but not a travesty. But this guy’s only crime is getting caught in the DEA’s vendetta against the state of California for allowing medical marijuana. (And since medical marijuana was passed by referendum, it’s a vendetta against the people of California, how fucked up is that?)
I’ve posted about it on my blog (http://therealsavoy.blogspot.com) and Sinn has as well (http://sinnsofattraction.blogspot.com). I’m going to include one para in my newsletter this weekend. Charles Lynch’s own site is www.friendsofccl.com.
