The Compassionate Coalition

I could sense the blow-off from Sgt. Greg so the following day at 3pm after he had not called back I decided to force the issue by faxing him over a letter providing him with 7 reasons/case law who he is suppose to return my mmj. AND yes my 1st point was to look at the last 3 UPD cases. UPD returns MMJ how is SJPD different. I also pointed out that if he's claiming that he's bound by the Controlled Substance act and that returning mmj to me could get him in trouble I pointed out (which he already knows) that he has immunity from prosecution as an officer. He did get back to me after that. He said your currently on probation...I said yes...and had u done the minimal of investigation here you would have know that ahead of time. You could have asked him back then...my PO has copies of my Rx. He informed me he had a call into my PO. I asked him why. He said "well if you have the terms and conditions of no substances I can't return your mmj. I asked what does that have to do with anything (even if there were). I'm asking for the return of my property that was taken by you when you shouldn't have. I did not say I was going to use it. I said its mine and I want it (further if I did have a condition and I did use that would be on me and I would get violated). At that point we got into a discussion about the whole MMJ law in general and it became glaringly obvious that this man probably has not even read the law past the 2nd paragraph. Even though I was a bit frustrated by the lengths I had to go I came to the conclusion that my thinking needed to change. I will get the stuff back (which is not the real issue). What I am now going to do since I have his ear and HE is prolonging my grip on it, I'm going to take this opportunity to EDUCATE HIM ON THE LAW. I must admit that wasn't all my brain smarts coming to that conclusion. My memory directed my back to our esteemed spokesperson, Christine's last post in re $500 figure and EDUCATION BEING KEY! She is all to correct. And I hope to trailblazer the path to make it easier for the next person who is persecuted under cop stupidity and ignorance of the law. Sgt Greg and I seem to have an open dialogue and he is not you normal "my way or the highway" cop. Maybe he got more than the required AA degree to be a cop. But this is not about me being right or my attitude of its mine and I should get it back...cuz ITS MINE! There is a bigger issue here and that is getting law enforcement to recognize that this is the law and its not going away. Deal with it or move on to your next "flavor of the month". And that is what I plan to do. Educate him and his peers and once that begins we can start talking about 6 figure lawsuits or hopefully something more positive like the Santa Clara Co Dispensery who's proceeds from sales tax helped house 50 families for a year or feed the homeless or something of that sort. Party at my house once I have my SJPD cured MMJ.
StayHuman and Happy holidays to all. Especially those on the inside and control of the DOC.
