A Travesty of Justice Occurs:

When the federal government intentionally mis-schedules cannabis as having no medical use and being unsafe to use even under a physician’s supervision, despite mountains of scientific evidence proving multiple medical uses and safety unsurpassed by any man-made medication.
When the federal government prevents scientific medical study of cannabis so that the intentional mis-scheduling can be perpetuated.
When local government uses the intentional mis-scheduling of cannabis as a means to profit from seized property and the incarceration of its citizens, denying them their right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
When police seize legally-purchased property prior to a court appearance or the chance to defend oneself in court. (This is like establishing guilt before the accused even has an opportunity to be proven innocent.)
When police act as the judicial branch of the law and become both judge and jury.
When police and local government profit from property seizure, giving them the motive to hunt the members of the public that they have sworn to protect and serve. By human nature, a profit motive will “turn a good man bad.”

I am a retired cardiovascular surgeon who has been targeted and victimized. I have lost my freedom and my Constitutional right to bail, which limits my ability to defend myself. I have lost my family, my career, my property, my family photos and heirlooms, and everything I worked for my entire life. Police have made public statements indicating that I am guilty, prior to court. They have also placed false photos in the local media, showing marijuana plants they say were found at my home, when in fact none were found! This, and the profit motive, will prevent me from receiving a fair trial. I have been subjected to cruel treatment, which amounts to physical and mental torture. I am a P.O.W. in the war on drugs, which is a war against our own citizens. Stop the War! Re-Schedule Cannabis as a Medicine! If I could give my life so that this would not happen to others, I would. President Obama, I say this to you, “Give me Liberty or Give me Death!”
