Group terms pot bust persecution of terminally ill man Posted on Feb. 17

I hope the gov't is proud of themselves for this "great" drug sting on a man who is so terminally ill. If you knew who this man is he is far from a street drug dealer, he is sick and in pain 24-7 and this marijuana was and is his only escape from his pain. Do some research on mucopolysaccharidosis and you will find what this dibilitating side effects are. He is 34 years old and one of the oldest survivors of this disease and he survives because he can be helped with his pain and suffering through the use of marijuana. He is not a drug attack or a drug dealer, he is a victim of a degenerative disease and by taking away his release you, the DEA, have shortened his life tremendously. His younger brother fell victim to the same disease 2 years and he was not one to turn to marijuana for help he relied on his doctors who were womderful but did not have a cure. We have lost one family member and do not want the same fate this soon for the other. They say 96 plants is not personal medical use, yes it is. He produces mulitple strands of plants to treat his many mulitple issues, and a lot of that quantity is fear that his pain will become overwhelming and he fears not having it for relief, which again thanks to the DEA you have made his worst fears come true and now our friend has to suffer with no release. Would you tell a cancer patient they can't have Chemo or anti nausea meds, would you tell a person with MS they can't have there pain meds so they can walk, so why are you telling a man that has a rare and painful disease he can't smoke his marijuana through his trake to give him relief from his pain and hope for another day? This is riduculous and the DEA can tell my kids when their uncle is gone why he couldn't be there for their next Bday or Christmas...you should be ashamed.

how did the dea find out he had the pot, who told on him??

The cops just did another bust, but the kid has "clout' with his parents, he had 2 ounces, was fined and given drug counceling, it won't be in the papers, but I wonder what will happen to the kid that got busted on Thompsen, no "clout".???
