CANNABUs – “What do we want?” Stephanie Landa yells, we scream “END PROHIBITION!” “When do we want it?” She yells, “NOW!” we scream. This brave woman, who spent many years in prison for our plant led a lot of chants throughout my ten day journey for justice. The Journey began in California at Joe Grumbine (The Human Solution Founder), Stacey Theis (Cannasense Campaign) and Jake Shepard picked us up in California in their big green Cannabus, and about thirteen of us who had been put through hell by the Federal Government headed north to support Chris Williams (my dad’s business partner) for his federal sentencing! After Chris was found guilty in his unfair trial, the first time in history the feds offered him a post-conviction settlement and dropped four out of his six charges. It took his mandatory minimum sentence from 90 years down to just five. Our court support brought out all kinds of local support and they had to open up another court room to hold everyone! Although we know that Chris shouldn’t be in jail at all, he was sentenced to five years. Through our travels, we protested and made many stops along the way to spread education, support, and friendship to our fellow plant warriors! I made it my personal mission to collect as many signatures as I could on my letter for Eddy Lepp to try to convince his judge to let him out of jail for his upcoming appeal. I even got a chance to see the devastating effect the Feds and their laws had on Oaksterdam University. As we stop along the way, we welcome people aboard for a little education and to sign the ceiling of the bus. When we drove through Washington I felt extra proud of my state because we got two police officers (one was a k-9 unit in Kent) to come on our bus and sign the ceiling! It made me feel good that times are changing. We did not get the same reaction from the police in Oregon, we got pulled over, the bus got ransacked, and I got a small ticket for mmj! This trip confirmed with me that prohibition still exists, it is dwelling in our jail cells here and all over our country. The trip had a healing effect on my broken soul and inspired my fight for our people in jail. I personally have to thank Kitty, Jeremy, everyone from the market, Montana Coalition for Rights, November Coalition, Human Solution and all of the online donors for their financial and physical support that got us across the country!

OUR PRISONERS -  My mom is ok, she recently crocheted a pink and black blanket from jail she is donated to a special raffle that benefit her fellow prisoners. You can buy the tickets at the markets or anytime at Sacred Plant through April. This month, we got a bunch of cards together for Jeeremy Duval, sentenced to five years in October. His dad, Jerry Duval has to turn himself in soon, this upsets me because Jerry isn’t in good health. We still have Luke Scarmazzo and Ricardo Ruiz Montes serving  18 and 20 year sentences. We can’t forget them, so buy raffle tickets, we put the money from raffles on our people’s books who are in jail for  our precious plant.

MEETING – Wednesday, Apri l 10, 2013 at 6:00PM How do you think we can win the war on drugs? What ideas do you have that you think will release our fallen hero’s from prison? Do you have some good funraising ideas that will help our POW’s? Would you like to volunteer in our efforts? Our state laws are not enough to hold us up in federal court because marijuana is still a schedule I drug (like heroin), and so through education, prison outreach, court support and making our voices heard loud and clear across the country we can do our share to END PROHIBITION! I can’t wait to see you there!
