A local lawmaker is promoting the idea of legalizing marijuana as the answer to the state's money problems. This comes after DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart, and reiterating a position made by the White House following DEA raids in California. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters that ending federal raids on medical marijuana dispensaries “is now American policy.”

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]My name is Laurel Krause. Last Friday (2/20/09) as I looked out my kitchen window I was shocked to see 25 Mendocino County Sheriffs/Deputies coming through my gate very quickly. The lead man, Sheriff (don’t know deputy, or what class) Jonathan Martin, showed me a search warrant, hand cuffed me and read me my rights. I was cooperative (I actually cried and begged for mercy, but that didn’t work) as they searched my home, my grow area on my five acres (behind my locked gate–so no probable cause) and seized all grow equipment related to 24 medical marijuana plants in full bloom. They chopped down the plants and hauled them away as I was being grilled and bullied in my home. This number is significant because if you google the Mendocino County Sheriff’s web page on MedMari guidelines it says 25 plants. You are probably aware of the ‘fuzziness’ of these guidelines. I have a recommendation from my doctor to allow me to grow med marijuana. They charged me with two felony counts, one for marijuana cultivation and another for intent to sell/distribute, carted me to Ukiah, CA to jail in handcuffs.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It gets worse. I was the #4 bust of 5 that day (Friday, Feb 20) and the guys let us know that they had five more for Saturday (yesterday) and five more on Sunday (TODAY!). Not individuals, but actual grows that might arrest multiple people. And most of the growers are women with kids (so now the children are possibly being taken away and bank accounts frozen). Real emotional and economic despair.[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]As I met others that were arrested in Ukiah, the county seat to jail (never before, first offense for everything for me) I learned they were my neighbors and not one had a ‘commercial’ size grow. So this Mendocino County Sheriff’s dept sweep is coming up short as the take is not producing the kind of busts they claim they are after (i.e commercial, 500 plants & up), unenvironmental grows that scar the land (we all grow organic), we all have our recommendations that we paid for and actually care about the quality of medicine we are growing (it’s in the past for me now).[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I am in shock, but then I started getting mad yesterday. What is motivating this gestapo situation all of the sudden? DA Meredith Lintott or Sheriff Allman? NeoCons?[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I keep to myself mostly so did not hear about this happening all over the county of Mendocino. Furthermore, most growers don’t let others know their business so as not to get busted. I’m coming forth as I have nothing to loose and I’m not backing down. I am a little afraid that if this doesn’t become a big story that I might be unsafe though……….so bust this story wide open. Help us in Mendo!!![/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Since getting busted, I’ve learned that they were up and down my street (just outside Fort Bragg city limit, so in Mendocino County) busting and getting this sweep in order over the last month and logging on the computer even (wish I had known!). That they have also had busting sweeps in the towns of Covelo, Ukiah, Willits…….all within Mendocino county.[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I’m sure you’re asking what is motivating me to come to you. This is truly an American story of our time right now, a devestating economic massacre for us personally and it has county-wide ramifications as at least 70% of the Mendocino economy is based on growing marijuana. Maybe even California as it’s the state’s largest crop. During these times of extreme economic hardship and 10% unemployment in Ft. Bragg, it just doesn’t make any sense to be busting and criminalizing tax-paying citizens, my neighbors and me operating within state and county guidelines.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]We are considering moving forward with a class-action suit. I have calls out.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I am sounding this alarms as far and wide as I can. Please feel free to forward this to any of your interested colleagues. I hope to hear from you.[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sincerely,[/FONT]

I'm very sorry to hear this - I can only say that this current administration lied about ending these infringing busts and if you voted for Obama, I want to offer my condolences.

And I can only say if you do not know the difference between the Feds and the local Sheriff I offer my condolences.

Hey, believe what you want to. While Obama is up on his podium taking liberties from your average American, be just like the rest of Obama supporters and continue drinking the toxic punch. Ever heard of a cult? Ever knowingly belong to one?

People usually don't know when they're cult members until it's too late...

1st sign is denial and pointing fingers... kinda like a teenager who knows everything.

Signs and symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia may include:

  • Auditory hallucinations, such as hearing Sarah Palins voice in the shower
  • Delusions, such as believing Obama is telling local Sheriffs to bust med grows
  • Anxiety
  • Anger
  • Aloofness
  • Violence
  • Verbal confrontations
  • Patronizing manner
  • Suicidal thoughts and behavior
With paranoid schizophrenia, you're less likely to be affected by mood problems or problems with thinking, concentration and attention. Instead, you're most affected by what are known as positive symptoms.



Positive symptoms

Positive symptoms are symptoms that indicate the presence of unusual thoughts and perceptions that often involve a loss of contact with reality. Delusions and hallucinations are considered positive symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia.

CULT:

an instance of great veneration of a person (Obama), ideal (socialist/communist tendencies), or thing, esp. as manifested by a body of admirers (ACORN and other wacko libs such as yourself).

a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc. (those who cling to Obama for the "change" they so seek, which I might add they are seeing... one lie at a time - held together by invisible, thin strands of, what they call unity - as in The Excorcist: My name is Legion: for we are many.).

I just heard the news that Eric Holder announced yesterday that no more raids will be made on people in medical states "unless they break the law". :clap:

So sorry to hear that single moms would potentially be taken from thier kids or vice versa. I would say go to the newspapers,get petitions signed to have these charges dropped,show proof that you were operating with in the guidelines of your county.A class action lawsuit can usually be done with very little money to the defendant.(most lawyers will do this if they think you have a case and put up the money themselves) Contact NORML maybe they can give you some advise. I agree 100% do not backdown from this fight....your the victim

I see that you're located in "a dark hole in between two tender thighs". That's a fine place to be, but I'd advise you not to stuff your whole head up there because when you do you have have no fucking idea what's going on outside the hole and end up making a fool of yourself on the internet.

Trust me my man, the only ones making fools of themselves are YOUR elected leaders and the cult members that hang on to every spoken word like it's gold. Your guy has the economy in shambles, has lied about making his administration more "transparent" to the American public, has hired a bunch of tax cheats, and has incorporated over 9000 earmarks of unnecessary spending in his "stimulus" package - and my head's up my ass....

Just like a lib to point a finger and call names when their ego is crushed - tsk tsk :finger:

All the above was a total waste of my time to read. Thanks a bunch.
The fact of the matter is that this thread is about Obama supposably going back on his word in regards to ending the med raids which is, of course, bullshit. The raid mentioned happened before this administration was able to get around to changing the policy. There will be NO MORE raids (for at least the next 4 years) on med facilities unless they are breaking the state laws.
I don't know what's so hard to understand about this???

And how do the conservatives feel about these raids ending? Lets see what a helpful Republican senator had to say about it today.........

And btw, I never assumed the hole was your own asshole. That's all you.

The fact that Obama is a liar who hires more liars has everything to do with the fact that these med raids WILL continue to happen... and if the states RESPECTED him as any kind of President, they would respect federal laws or mandates and go along with said program. It all starts from the top and slithers down to the bottom. Oh, and about the "asshole" thing... doesn't bother me - it's there for a reason - so I can digest what you and people like you say and defecate the bullsh*t at a later time.

And yes - the majority of these Republicans are scum as well.
