Medical Marijuana Activists Get 5 Years Each – KCRA 3 News Story – KQCA Sacramento
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — An El Dorado County couple were sentenced to five years in federal prison Wednesday for growing and selling marijuana, U.S. Attorney McGregor Scott said.Dr. Marion “Mollie” Fry, and her husband, Dale Schafer, were convicted in August.
Fry and Schafer were charged with growing and selling in their hometown of Cool.
They claim they were acting under state law.
Schafer said his wife was targeted by the federal government after she prescribed marijuana to patients under the Compassionate Use Act of 1996.
Fry, who was diagnosed with breast cancer, said she used marijuana to treat the side effects that were a result of her chemotherapy sessions.
Keep in mind that during these federal trials, defendants are forbidden from even saying the words “medical marijuana”. They are not allowed to present the evidence of their medical needs, their patients’ medical needs, or the fact that they were dutifully following the laws of California. This is a travesty of justice.
Thats is abosulutly ridiculas, waist of time money and jail space for BAD PEOPLE. Prisons are at capacity already and putting non harmful away for pot just does not make sence. GET REAL U IDIOTS THAT RUN THIS SYSTEM.
