Greenwood Doc and Husband Face Prison for Marijuana Operation
In a ruling sure to bolster federal warnings to ganja growers, a federal appeals court ruled today that a Greenwood couple should go to prison for selling medical marijuana.
According to Bay City News, Mollie Fry, an El Dorado County doctor, and Dale Schafer, her lawyer husband, were convicted in federal court in 2007 of cultivating marijuana. They began growing marijuana after Fry began chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer but soon began selling grow kits to other people.
In their appeal, Fry and Schafer argued that some El Dorado County Sheriff's Department officials told them their marijuana grow operation was legit. But the panel of three judges said the couple should have known it was illegal under federal law.

Have you ever watched the drug war clock as it ticks away all our hard earned tax dollars? http://www.drugsense.org/wodclock.htm
Alcohol prohibition in the US run from 1919 to 1933 - Now google 'The Great Wall Street Crash' and see when that happened!
During alcohol prohibition, all profits went to enrich thugs and criminals. Young men died every day on inner-city streets while battling over turf. A fortune was wasted on enforcement that could have gone on treatment. On top of the budget-busting prosecution and incarceration costs, billions in taxes were lost. Finally the economy collapsed. Sound familiar?

If you have liberty then expect prosperity, but there’s most definitely no chance of prosperity without liberty.
To support prohibition you have to be either ignorant, stupid, brainwashed, insane or corrupt.
