Because of age, post polio, and other conditions, I'm a posterboy for
medical marijuana. I was willing to go to jail to test the law. But I
was not prepared to see 20th district Drug Task force Sowel, my x-wife,
and the prosecutor Joe Winningham all commit perjury or see Judge
Charles Clawson in Clinton Arkansas turn a deaf ear to some of what he
himself knew to be perjury.

Had he not applied the maximum sentance and fine it mite not have looked
fishy and resulted in my case, now awaiting transcript, to go before the
Arkansas court of appeals.

Investigating my case, we learn law enforcement was selling confiscated
drugs back onto the street. So- at trial, they did not have the
marijuana taken from me; but Judge Clawson would not permit a recess for
me to call expert testimony to point out the difference between the
medicinal herb I had, and 'recreational pot'.

The judge and prosecutor covered for law enforcement. My question
therefore is, will the court of appeals cover for Judge Clawson?

I emailed the DEA in St. Louis about this, but got no feedback.

There is no such thing as "medicinal marijuana". It is illegal as the
"recreational" kind.
Federal law outweighs state law. Period.
If the appeals court finds the lower court erred, you could win your case,
but you would still be guilty of federal laws.

Hire an attorney and let him represent you professionally.

Got that? The DEA itself is trying to legalize production for
transnational pharma while leaving it illegal for me to grow what I want
to use myself. We see the govt abuse lotsa other rights too. Why would
we not look for that here?

But if the cops do it, its OK?

All the local lawyers are in cahoots, or withdrew from criminal cases. I
spoke with one lawyer I knew, who lives 200 miles away, who told me it'd
cost 25,000$ to hire anyone to come up here.

But the Arkansas Public Defender Commission did find a lawyer, Sharon
Kiel of Little Rock to handle my appeal. Another question is how far she
dares to go trying to expose how they've been running the drugwar like a
speed trap. They dont want to stop drug abuse, they want to milk it. as
the above line shows.

If you want drugs controlled, figure out how to get LEO & drug agents to
obey the law. I usta live in New Orleans, and knew officers like that in
"Bad Lieutenant" with Nicolas Cage. In the five years I lived there, LEO
searched my home six times. No convictions.

I notice how easy it is, if one wishes, to drive a defender of drug
policy to ad hominem. But coming up with a defensible policy is not
easy. http://www.slate.com/id/2287146/ for one, shows how behavior is
not the result of 'free will' but can reflect underlying dysfunction.

The self righteous defense of current policy being one example of
irrationality. Bouchard's longitudinal study of identical twins adopted
out at birth to different sets of parents of different values who
nonetheless in adulthood test out with similar values indicates the
power, referred to at the end of the above link, of DNA endowment. Or
the lack thereof.

Nutritional deficit and/or contamination and/or exposure to pathogens
during childhood mental development can also play a part, and be more or
less common in some gene pools. So- we'd expect some to try pot as a
form of self medication to deal with mental issues. But again, because
of all the variables, it dont work for everyone.

A more rational policy would bear this in mind and permit civil suits to
recover damages if there be any, which would not affect those families
which see a real benefit.

Everyone knows, for instance, how the pot smoker will quit being upset
and chill out on the couch, and not wander off. Pot does the same for
Alzheimer's victims. This makes it lots easier for families to cope with
keeping a victim at home.

Conversely, if pot vendors were bonded like alcohol or pharmacists, any
sale to a customer with a history of problems arising from drug use
could result in a civil suit. Such sales would stop.

However, that would eliminate the money criminal defense lawyers make,
and no law is ever passed which reduces the income of a brother at the
bar. Ergo, we need to quit electing lawyers.

For over 20 years now, I've been saying they are running the drugwar
like a speedtrap with no visible effect. So- I've put my ass on the
line, have already done several months in prison, now out pending appeal
on a medical marijuana test case.

It all depends on whether the Arkansas Court of Appeals will protect the
Good Old Boys (GOB) milking the system, or actually read and apply the
law as written.

If you post a transcript somewhere and send us the link, I might be able
to tell you why you lost. I'm just guessing at this point, but if I had

Proving it in court is the question. What they presented in court did
not come from my place, and I can prove that with a professional
witness, even a drug agent if he really knows anything about the
horticultural properties of hemp.

The transcript was due Jan 17; my attorney granted the clerk of court an
extension til April 29, and advised me another extension will be asked
for then; the court of appeals will close July 4 and reopen in mid
August. From what she said, the clerk will want until the last minit.
Not that I blame her.

If the transcript is truthful, it'll show Drug Task Force Agent Sowel
commit perjury. I have plenty of witnesses who will add that my x-wife
also committed perjury, but Judge Clawson would not permit a recess so I
could call any of those witnesses.

Just the fact that a pro se case went on for 23 months should ring bells
in the minds of anyone familiar with court procedure.

I hope so. But I had a friendly arrangement with Atty Joe Macal in New
Orleans. After I left and moved to the Ozark back woods, it came out he
was paying off the clerk of court and Judge Greenburg (not to notice
irregularities in his docket), and Joe sometimes also arranged new job
offers in distant states for officers set to testify in drug cases.

He was disbarred when it all came out, but there's lots more I knew of,
one of the reasons I feared high velocity lead poisoning. Sadly, I some
of the same sort of thing in the Ozarks.

No. Bear in mind, the trial was initially set for Dec 12, 2008, with
jury selection on a friday with prosecution and defense on the following
Monday/Tuesday. Then it was postponed until February, April, July, and
so on until June 21, 2010. But when I appeared, Judge Clawson, rather
than having potential jurors in court ordered a forensic mental exam. As
if there'd not been plenty of time in the previous 19 months to do that.

Then, when he got that on Aug 31, set trial for Sept 17. I did not read
carefully, or I mite have realized that date was for the whole show. I
did not expect testimony, only jury selection as on all other dates.

Better a fool than a false ally. All the criminal lawyers up here are in

Whatever evidence was to be presented at trial would have already
been made known to the defense (you). Had you not been allowed to

It is now. Today, a Federal Postal Inspector arrived with a package he thot
had marijuana in it; not to me, but someone who'd stayed here but moved
on. I agreed to have it opened, and there was a small mj bud in it. Most
curious that someone would go to the bother of mailing such a small
quantity that was also so stinky.

But since it fit with other aspects of a setup, I showed him where wild
marijuana had come up again this year, telling him the clerk of court
has until April 29 to produce a transcript, so that I can introduce
these wild plants - which have the same DNA yet again this year- to
prove that what was in evidence was not taken from me.

The Inspector knows this info has been posted, just like you see, and
many other places online as well, and says he'll inform federal agents
in Little Rock, since this involves LEO selling seized drugs back onto
the market. Or at least evidence tampering and perjury.

The plants, only an inch high, have no commercial value, and wont by the
time the transcript is ready in April. The only reason LEO would seize
it would be to get rid of evidence. But I have hemp stalks from the same
line, with the same DNA- which are legal to possess. I also have several
witnesses to show it came up wild.

(We'll go out to look for more tomorrow- sprouts will be showing up for
some weeks yet.)

Above you mention Clinton, AR. St. Louis is quite a distance
north of Clinton.
Was this a federal matter?
It is now. Today, a Federal Postal Inspector arrived with a package he thot
had marijuana in it; not to me, but someone who'd stayed here but moved
on. I agreed to have it opened,
If it wasn't addressed to you, how could you agree or disagree to
have it opened? I mean from a legal stand point.

Would someone with the USPS care about the time limit?

I would expect the Postal Inspector is obligated to report the
finding of the marijuana in the mailed package.

Not so.
The plants are likely illegal, at least under Federal law, no
matter the size.

Last I knew, even hemp plants are illegal.

The plants being wild might benefit you. Certainly them being
wild would mean prosecutors wouldn't be able to prove you were growing
them intentionally.
Of course, the question I now have is in regards to your previous
claim of medicinal marijuana. If, as you are now claiming, it grows
wild on your property, how can you claim it's medicinal?

He said I could open it in front of him to determine if it was what he
thot. I agreed he had the authority to make the offer. It came to my
address.

He'd mentioned his relationship with other federal officials. I outlined
how the plants could be used to expose evidence tampering, which I thot
was a federal crime. Wrapped up in this is also perjury by Drug Task
Force agent Sowel and prosecutor Winningham, also federal felonies.

LEO=LOCAL law enforcement. Once they take the plants as an act to destroy
evidence, it becomes a federal matter. I will be happy to appear in
federal court to have a jury hear about all this.

Read the law below.

You can go to the Arkansas Legislature website and download or search
the law code.

If you read Title 5 section on controlled substances, you can see the
law has not been followed.
http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/arcode/Default.asp

The point about the wild weed is that there is no longer any possibility
of "control". Medicinal or otherwise. What it has become, is a tool for
friends of the Good Old Boys to setup arrests and seize property. At the
very least, even if the landowner retains possession, a cash cow for
defense lawyers.

Because my crop was medicinal, I was not selling it into the market, so
the set of "confidential informants" could not have known what I was
doing. NO, this was because the neighbor trespassed onto my land, saw
the plants up close enuf to realize what they were despite the flowers
on them, called a friend in law enforcement, and was cutting trees and
bulldozing on my property while I was in jail.

This area is still the descendants of independent land owners- who
seceded from the Confederate govt in Little Rock, and dont care for the
feds no either. Their property rights are far more important to them
than the issue of marijuana, medicinal or otherwise. When they see how
the drug war has been used as a hidden tax on property, they get it.

The law also is that the asset valuation should go to state revenues,
but if you crunch the numbers, only 25% of the millions collected in
recent years actually did so. All the rest went into perks for LEO and
the District Drug Task Force units.

What remains to be seen is whether the Arkansas Court of Appeals will
ignore the law and my property rights and instead choose to protect the
Good Old Boys running the drug war like a speed trap.

BTW: if you read the section on steroids, you see an exception. Steroids
are put into calf milk replacer so the stock gains weight faster. But
now, athletes and body builders have found out about it, and have a
source of steroids vastly cheaper than anything else. Just go to a
feedmill. My 25 lb sack cost 25$, mite be 35$ now.

The public health be damned; cant interfere with beef industry profits.
I didnt have the expected money to post bond cause I didnt sell pot. So
lets get real here. LEO did not know who I was, and while I was in jail,
expecting me to cop a plea, sold the confiscated evidence. This I
figured out considering what other prisoners told me of what has been
going on here.
