The Tour is on! The Marijuana Jury Nullification Tour that is, being made a reality by the NJ Weedman Ed Forchion, and videographers Beau Davis and Rob Davis, who will be filming this powerful and much needed juror education across the nation. The people have lined up to make it happen and now the money needs to. Together they are raising the funds needed for the Weedmobile to hit the road from California to New Jersey, and to do this they are set up on the site http://www.youcaring.com/mission-trip-fundraiser/marijuana-jury-nullification-tour/73665. It looks like $140 is raised so far out of a goal of $2200, and there are 9 more days to make goal! NJ Weedman has already cancelled this tour once due to lack of funds, so it would be so sad if this gets cancelled again. I am giving my version of the widow’s mite, $4.20 to help, and just imagine if 500 people give $4.20 in the next 9 days, the Tour is on! When they visit jury selections and marijuana trials, imagine how many times 1 out of every 12 jurors might have an educated epiphany, or even 12 out of 12 jurors unanimously acquitting peaceful plant-loving people! So please consider giving any amount to help toward goal, or at least spread the word, and thank you to Beau and Rob for taking on this awesome activism adventure! Many are familiar with Beau’s film, Derrick J’s Victimless Crime Spree, a well-done masterpiece documentary worth the watch if you haven’t already.
Thank you to Gary Reed for this great article he wrote for the examiner.com to promote this Tour. Also check out njweedman.com for more info, and the NJ Weedman’s Promo Video for the Jury Nullification Tour.
Today outside of the Cheshire county superior court, I spotted the work vehicle of New Hampshire secret police sergeant Joseph T. DiRusso, who conspired with other bureaucrats to deprive me of my property exactly one month ago. DiRusso is a secret police officer in that himself and the judge granted themselves a veil of secrecy by ‘sealing’ portions of the search warrant, including the affidavit which explains the reasons and grounds for which my property was seized. The revised release date has been recently revealed to be August 6. After waiting several minutes for him to emerge, I eventually captured images of Joseph exiting the courthouse. These are the first images available online of DiRusso with the exception of a discrete photograph of him previously published by the Keene Sentinel.(more…)
Yesterday while Robin Hooding in Keene, I stopped into the district court while another person held a camera. Asking the receptionist about when information will be released relative to my case, I was told that the original ‘return date’ of unsealing was scheduled for July 26. For some reason, the unsealing was delayed until August 6. Are the authorities buying themselves more time to avoid the inevitable accountability check? It is also unclear whether the information release will be accompanied by the release of my Canon Vixia camera. Video from the day continues to upload to a playlist at Fr33manTVraw (see the court update from yesterday embedded below). For more info from this incident, check out Pete Eyre’s original post NH Bureaucrats Conspire to Censor Garret Ean at CopBlock, as well as the ninth episode of AKPF #1, which was largely dedicated to this topic.
In case you needed more proof that New Hampshire is the place to be around the coolest liberty activists in the world, here’s an epic half-hour video of footage from Buzz’s Big Gay Dance Party at Porcfest 2013!
Bonus cool points that it was shot and edited by liberty-loving state rep Mike Sylvia.
If you’re LGBT and love liberty – you are welcome in this awesome movement. Join the Free State Project, and get to New Hampshire ASAP!
For starters, patients can’t grow their own cannabis, there will only be 4 dispensaries in the entire State, and patients will be forced to pay a yearly fee to have a “therapeutic cannabis” ID card, not to mention that such dispensaries will not be open for quite some time.
Some people are making a big deal over the fact that PTSD was specifically removed, however better terminology (“traumatic brain injury, or one or more injuries that significantly interferes with daily activities as documented by the patient’s provider”) was added.
The legislation does not allow for anyone in NH who is not a “resident” to be treated as a “Visiting qualifying patient” (The law defines a “Visiting qualifying patient” as a patient with a qualifying medical condition who is not a resident of New Hampshire or who has been a resident of New Hampshire for fewer than 30 days and is not eligible to purchase therapeutic cannabis in New Hampshire or receive cannabis from a qualifying New Hampshire patient.)
One can only hope that this bill is improved in the next session!
Despite the bill not being optimal, it’s still a step in the direction of more personal freedom and choice. It took much effort on the part of liberty-oriented state reps as well as volunteers at groups like MPP.org and the NH Coalition for Common Sense, founded by Free State Project participant Matt Simon. Kudos to everyone who worked to make this happen. The next step will hopefully be more legislation that eases up the ridiculous restrictions that Hassan put in this legislation, so patients can access legal cannabis sooner. This current statute forces them to wait until the state’s dispensaries are ready to distribute, which could be years.
