Great victory for the DEA
Drug war agents and police officers, especially DEA director Karen Tandy, can be so proud this week for finally incarcerating a non-violent medical marijuana patient for growing cannabis plants in her own garden. While sexual predators may get a couple years on their first offense, Stephanie Landa, 60, has been sentenced to 41 months in a federal penitentiary for her "crimes".
Although California has passed Compassionate Use legislation and Police Commisioner David Campos and some officials of the City of San Francisco expressed outrage at the waste in cost and resources the federal government is expending to imprison Landa. A "rogue" SFPD narcotics officer is suspected of collaborating with DEA agents by informing them of medical marijuana patients. The "cross deputization" of local police and federal justice is increasing at a disturbing rate.
Stephanie Landa - our hearts are with you. You should not be in FEDERAL PRISON for doing something women have been doing for centuries - growing God's gift for medicine. The DEA is making Landa an example - to scare the rest of us into submission. John Walters, ONDCP, has said the federal government has been "actively correcting some baby boomers impression that drugs were part of an acceptable lifestyle". Who's with me? Let's sue John Walters for violating our Constitutional right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
