The Compassionate Coalition

Looking for the HIGHER POWER while our medical patients are being abused and prosecuted. Looking for the HIGHER POWER while our medical caregivers are being sentanced to multiple felony counts for helping some of the most vulnerable, most pained, most aflicted, most indigent, most abused, and most neglected VETERANS, HOMELESS and OTHERS.

GRANT MY ANGER BE TRANSFORMED, as I struggle with panic attacks while vividly seeing over and over the absolutely unnecessary abuse of a legal medical marijuana patient in my north Denver home while she was having a seizure. Having been her legal primary caregiver for well over two years, I was well aware of the seizures, and of the fact that a simple glass of "Celestral Seasonings" hash water tea daily, could help keep her from having seizures for months at a time.

However, this 'event' of the magnitude that, in my mind, I am faced with one of the most devastating opinions of a few who were chosen to "Serve & Protect", Officers coming to the 'rescue', who at one moment provided a glass of water and seizure medication, but in but another instant, and in front of nine witnesses in my own home living room,

THREW CHEST DOWN this frail CANCER patient to the ground, tearing her extruded bladder condition even further, and on an opposite side. NOW, there is seepage into her bladder, and it will very soon be necessary for her to have another serious surgery. This being currently in the face of already taking three chemo pills a day, having a bi-opsy scheduled at this juncture.

Not so surprising when only a couple weeks ago, she was working hard towards becoming mentally prepared to have a full double mastectomy.

Seems extreme for any life, let alone the one you love. THEN, to go an see members of law enforcement, trusted and trained professionals, totally overreact and cause elbow damage, to include photographed bruises from the top of her neck to the bottoms of her legs, with other pains associated with her unnecessary arrest. Current charges include "interferring with Emergency Personnel" and "Resisting Arrest", makes this torrid episode, seem like it5 SURELY must be something out of another country, and NOT MY AMERICA?

I AM STANDING FIRM with this experience, and any other where law enforcement continues to side on the concept of abusing my legal Colorado Medical Marijuana Patients and Caregivers.

WE, the PEOPLE, approved a constitutional amendment over eight years ago for a reason. It was NOT to be IGNORED, and NOT to be USED as a tool for patient ABUSE, either.

Malinda Lewis appears in
Colorado's ADAMS COUNTY COURT
BRIGHTON
TODAY Thursday Morning,
9am,

as an active pro se litigant, demanding that justice be found, following such an extreme level of harassment and abuse.

When officers responding to a 911 call for a seizure fiind themselves more caught up in "Where is the Marijuana" than actually taking care of the patient, IMMEDIATELY, the local police and fire department system has FAILED.
We can only HOPE that a court remedy will bring clarity this morn.

AS for another abuse story, let's think about legal multiple caregiver Jeremy Marsh, who is to be sentanced on three felony counts

TODAY THURSDAY
2 PM
DENVER CITY AND COUNTY COURT

Here we have the story of a man, of simple means, working at a "Croakes" kiosk within a local mall, while helping grow medicine for some sick and dying individuals.

His version of "Island Sweet Skunk" was known among the hundreds within the legal Colorado MMJ Community to be "Far & Away" better medicine than that which was grown by others under similar conditions.

The walls of the loose knit patient collective during spring and summer, 2006 was known as RAD standing for Reasonable Access Denver, was plastered with copies of over 60 legal licenses, approved by each of the patients involved and a specific statement of our legal right to gather collectively in the Rocky Mountain State, EVEN THOUGH, this was NOT specifically addressed in the voter approved Constitutional Amendment 20.

When it came time for the legal patients to stand up in a Denver City and County Courtroom to be seen and heard, there was only a few to be found. Malinda Lewis was known to be one of those faithful court support individuals. She "GETS IT". As a long term pain patient, with limited means, Malinda was willing to devote endless hours of court room support to legal patients and caregivers. ONE THE DAY, she was abused by police, as identified above, she had just finished a eight hour day filled with courtroom drama and little chance to medicate.

The police report and narratives obtained speak of the ridiculous "Three Stooges" reality that is experienced each and every day in this state when my legal patients and caregivers have an encounter with an untrained and/or unfeeling law enforcement.

Officer #1 saw no plants, Officer #2 saw a 24" by 10" marijuana plant on the dining room table, while Officer # 3 saw two plants. The reality, as will soon be exposed by affidavidt of legal caregiver, who was given the plant, a "LAZY DAISY" strain mother clone in a 4inch block was siting in the kitchen sink. Mind you, it was, in my court-appointed subject matter EXPERT OPINION, a mere eight inches tall and two inches wide. Imagine THAT?

During initial investigation, as my seizure patient had given police 911 the wrong address, down the street, it was myself, who attempted to establish contact, and advise them that, "This is a MEDICAL situation and NOT a Domestic Abuse case". STILL, I remained outdoors, sans coat, which aggravated my Raynaud's Syndrome stinging pains to my hands and feet, as well as my Fibromyalgia pains, and attempted to 'Educate' the officer. He just happened to be the one out of ten officers responding who really had NO INTEREST in receiving an education.

It was his initial interest in "HOW MANY PLANTS DO YOU HAVE?" which continued to ring in my ears. But, what of my sweetheart, her seizure and the two officers rushing into my house. I was told to remain outside, and I complied with a copy of my drivers license, Medical Marijuana Registry Certificate. There was further mentioon of the fact that without a WARRANT in hand, "I" was unwilling to allow for ANY information of this nature to be released, and was also unwilling to allow for a quick "SNEEK & PEEK" of what he perceived to be my medical garden at an undisclosed location onsite.

UPSET with this information, I was told that copies of my complaint would be distributed directly to the Registry and the North Metro Drug Task Force, since, in his eyes, I was in direct violation. My tribal attorney, soon to be on the telephone didn't really think that to be the case, either. I maintained professional demeanor and composure throughout, and this included, during the time when my sweet was physically abused and hauled off by no less than NINE 'professionals', who at last minute devcided to put her on a back brace, to boot. I will NEVER forget the moment when she was handcuffed, with three officers pressing on her back, screaming ,
"YOU BROKE MY F&^% NECK" over and over.

The flailing feet were SURE indication she was having a full out seizure, but to look at the police narrative, it goes to great length to attempt to infer she was actively kicking the officers and fire personnel. WHAT A JOKE~!~~!
.
The sergant refused to speak on the incident, and referred the patient ONLY to risk management. A sad state of affairs, indeed.

SO, the morning will be filled with the drama expressed here, and the afternoon will be the coffin of conviction sealing the fate on a legal caregivers who has more compassion in his little finger than most can muster up in multiple lifetimes. Community Service, I mean, real grass roots community service is NOT pretty work, and DANGEROUS, too.

Patient Malinda, a cannabis wellness consultant, with an expert knowledge of the therapy, who has helped educated hundreds across the state is well known. She is NOT known for asking for anything EVER, but to a large group of legal patients and caregivers,, if the outcry were made, not as this with an 11th hour story, I have NO DOUBT, that the courtroom in Brighton would be PACKED TO THE RAFTERS AND BEYOND.

Packed for the reason, because this is a woman who has
BEEN THERE for OTHERS, not for fame, not for fortune, not for any other reason but to show her support of other legal medical marijuana patients, one of the few things her health has allowed her left to do in life, something she used to do well, until she came home from court one day.

As a kicker, one of the officers wrote in their personal narrative that Malinda said she was at home smoking marijuana all day long, "HOW WRONG" can you get?

STOP THE LIES, STOP THE MADNESS,

STOP THE FAILED DRUG WAR, NOW~~!!
