Obama's DOJ: Montana's First Registered Medical Marijuana Caregiver Dies in Prision

[RockX]

Montana's First Registered Medical Marijuana Caregiver Dies in Federal Prison

Richard Flor died in a Las Vegas Bureau of Prisons medical facility on Wednesday.

Flor, 68, was just a few months into a five-year prison sentence for running a Billings, Montana marijuana dispensary with his wife and son. Flor also co-owned Montana Cannabis, one of the largest medical marijuana dispensaries in the state, and which was the subject of a March, 2011 federal raid. Montana legalized medical cannabis in 2004, but that doesn't matter under federal law.

Flor's wife got two years in prison for bookkeeping, and his son got five years for running the Billings dispensary. These were pleas entered and settled before the Department of Justice (DOJ) could make sure that medical marijuana went unmentioned in the court room.

Obamas DOJ Stormtroopers should be very proud.

If you follow the links at the end of your article, you will see that Montana's MM laws are both ambiguous, and clearly a back door attempt to freely distribute marijuana to anyone, for any reason.

Online/telephone/Traveling 1 day clinics for giving out MM cards don't meet the criteria for 'real' doctor's exams.

Stop crying about those who are trying to scam the system. They're making it much harder for the people who actually need marijuana for their honest medical issues.

Racist X isn't crying for anyone, he is laughing

laughing at a caregivers death? Is he that callous? I thought that title belonged to Obama.

as to Montana:

Montana, like California and Michigan, allows "caregivers" as well as patients to grow marijuana.
Montana's Medical Marijuana Act (PDF) defines a caregiver as an individual "who has agreed to undertake responsibility for managing the well-being of a person with respect to the medical use of marijuana."
A patient with a doctor's recommendation may grow up to six plants and possess up to one ounce of usable marijuana for his own consumption, or he can designate a caregiver, who may grow up to six plants on his behalf.
Are patients or caregivers allowed to form "cooperatives," as they do in California, and grow marijuana together? According to the state Department of Public Health & Human Services, which keeps track of registered patients and their caregivers, "the law is silent on this issue."
And although the law specifies that "a qualifying patient may have only one caregiver at any one time," it does not seem to address the question of whether a caregiver may grow marijuana for more than one patient.

The upshot is that the DEA can always argue that any individual or group of people with more than six plants (or more than one ounce of usable marijuana) in one place is not "in clear and unambiguous compliance" with Montana law. That would be the case even if state courts explicitly approved grow operations and dispensaries operated by patients or caregivers. Federal raids have continued in California even though the state attorney general (now the governor) said dispensaries are permitted

The DEA has Obama balls in their hands, Obama is a warmonger, as well as "death giver" not a caregiver.
Mr. Fucking Compassion is a sleezy piece of shit, deliberately exploiting "silence" in state laws. Because you know -Big Pharma doesn't want to let MM actually become widespread -not with Sativex and other CRAP coming out next year.
