it was over before it started ...
it was a shell game
all the meaning was hidden in the words
...red brothers should be able to understand how the big fat old white guys use words to trick us
I think the Jackson guy that didn't even learn how to grow yet
and was caught with somthing the rest of us might thro away is as good example of how fucked up the law is....
he literally is being charged for >weeds<.....aKa ""marijuana"" now
i wonder if he had kids or a wife and ffamily?
poor guy would have done all that and mayb the stuff wasn't even worth using when he was done
....clearly he was in th learning curve
at the bottom
his card was expired
and you can bet if he knows his only defense is sec8 if he can pull the '3prongs' out of his ass<--- and pay for it$
the lawyers [if he has $ for 1] will explain all this too him and it will cost him about 100$a word
most mmj cases if you go in there as a pt it's one price
and as a CG it's $$$$more
and if ur Danny Trevino you get the celebrity price-
some of the most expensive weeds he ever had...
i wonder if they'll weigh the root balls and charge him with that too=100lbs= for 3plants
Point being that the AD is not a free ticket out.
Jeff from Bad Axe, who had over 14 lbs (dunno if that's dry) had his charges dismissed, but only after years of time, trouble, and expense. It has been plainly stated that those costs are to be expected. That he is not in prison is a testament to the fact that the law does work, and works very well. I would like to see the documents from that case. Other cases have been won, sometimes without adequate legal representation. One of them I am aware of concerned a patient who had a court appointed attorney who simply did not give a shit. I think that the steps, while not always easy, can be performed by a defendant with a degree of native ability and an average understanding of law. Can it be that patients can file the necessary motion to dismiss, collect and present the evidence to establish compliance with the AD, and walk away with a minimum of grief and with money left in their pockets? Prosecutors will do anything and everything to fuck up your day, and can be counted on to challenge you on every point. Nonetheless, there are successful cases that have been worked by patients who took an active part in their defense through that part of due process.
I have toyed with the idea that a signed, dated, and witnessed document used to assign caregiver rights by a patient, both unregistered, and attesting to and including a statement from a doctor that meets the bona fide requirements recently added to the law, would satisfy all of the evidentiary requirements except for possession amounts. As long as they are reasonable and can be adequately argued, the likelihood of complications would not be so severe by a long shot.
