Court Support

Submit to StumbleUpon


Court Support is one of the easiest and most profound forms of activism.

Despite medical marijuana being legal in California for over 15 years, many legitimate and legal medical marijuana patients and providers still find themselves facing the court system, a hostile and forbidding environment at best. Often the only thing standing between these defendants and an over zealous prosecutor is a public defender with little or no knowledge of cannabis law. It’s not uncommon for these defendants to have little or no support from anyone else and their courtrooms are usually empty save for the people prosecuting them.
Having supporters in court hearings and trials not only has an impact upon media coverage and  politicians, but most importantly lends strength and moral support for those who are facing prison time for exercising their right under state law to use, grow, and provide medical cannabis.
