The common thread for all of it is politics. My trial was set to run in Ann Arbor. This is one of five medical marijuana cities in Michigan. Ann Arbor passed a law in the early 70's that set a $5 fine for simple possesion. Both the judge and prosicutor are up for reelection in November. At the same time voters, in Michigan, will be passing the new medical marijuana law. I could have chosen to use my trial as a platform. For various reasons nobody wanted me to do that. The pro-mmj folks were in fear that it would be used against the movement. The court system didn't want a zoo on the topic during reelection time. I choose to pled guilty ten minuets before two of the bastards that tried to walk into my home were due to be sentenced. The third came in to be sentenced two weeks later. Everyone was very very happy. I had been saying that I intended to be making a victims statment. The prosicutor ran up to my attorney and wispered "Keep your client quiet. These guys are fucking themselves up." At that moment the system actually began to treat me as if I was actually a victim. The judge hit them hard. The bastards fucked with the wrong person at the wrong time and place. Politics .. The politics of mmj are keeping people in suffering. And I'm trying to warn Republicans. The politics of mmj could make things really bad for them in November. I strongly suspect that all the liberals are being asked to keep it quite. Being asked by liberal leaders. It seems to be a clear pattern to me. Suffering should not be a political issue. Both sides seem content to allow the suffering to continue until at least November. Seriously, have you seen anywhere else about the marijuana extract treatment for diabetes? Double blind tested with great success? No .. Doesn't it seem likely the "liberal press" would be all over that one? The silence seems deafening to me. Fix this now and it gets defused.
