I am 51 year old med user living in Iowa, my wife, who does not even smoke, was busted last August for cultivation of 20 babies one inch tall and 2 ounces or so of dried meds. I say or so because i have never weighed my meds no scales in the house, as they never left the house or were ever sold or shared. The reason I am posting this is because I am prepared to make my final stand right here in Iowa and need some press coverage to expose this unjust system to the country.
My wife and I have no prior arrest record , wife has not even had a traffic ticket. The law lied to us reapetedly and ended up taking both our vehicles, imagine taking a whell chair bound mans only form of transportation, and took us both to jail as a result wife lost her job. Now I am supposed to be able to spend a grand a month for meds and doctor visits when all I wanted to do was die with some dignity not addicted to narcotics and doctors and hospitals hounding my wife for money. Now it is about evection time and we have to chose between eating or getting my meds.
I am writing this to perhaps see if anyone knows of a way to get the presses attention on a national levl as I am prepeared to go to prison for the medical help they offer but want the country to be aware of how the war on drugs affetcts the very sick and the very poor.
I have been in contact with NORML but it would appear to me they are more intersted in being chiefs and not helping the indians, and am at a total loss on how to draw attention to this issue. While living in Oregon I was involved with the medical marijuana program there but had to move so wife could find work. I even have a prescription form my doctor there for marijuana, but Iowa does not recognize medical value of marijuana.
Please if any press members or someone with the klnowledge on who to contact , other than NORML, email me please.
I weigh only 108 pounds down from 160 a year ago and fear if I do not get this done I will be gone and nobody will know who killed me. I feel since state of Iowa will not let me tend to myself let them spend thousands a year to tend to me. thus going to prison is an option just to live longer but to die with no dignity plus cost the state of Iowa the thousands and thousands it will take to keep me alive in prison. This is not a case of crime it is a case of the county, Mahaska county, useing me as a revenue source.
We have retained an attorney but I fear he is deep into the
"good ole boy circle" and have lost any trust I had in him. Now we are destitue and being robbed of our civil rights and steam rolled to accept a plea , but I want to go to 2 jury trials and let the record show how we were treated and to cost this county as much money as possible, let our 4 grand worth of old vehilces cost them plenty. The prosecutor handleing our case is talking freely about the case while drunk playing golf and our rights are being trambled on more and more and the ACLU is not responding to my emails so have no idea where to run next.
While living in Oregon I had my medical card and have a prescription from my doctor there for marijuana which is uselss here but does show I am legit med user. We left Oregon so wife could get a job since was no work there at all, I draw a small disabilty check a month but it doen not even start to pay the bills and take care of my medical needs
Any help would be greatly apreciated
Thanks
