Busted Letter #124 – Photogenic Herer
Tue, May 13, 2008 3:48 pm
I moved to Milwaukee, WI in October of 2007. We set up a 12 x 12 dry wall grow room in our basement with 1650 watts of hps going into our Jack Herer strain (1,000 hps, 400 hps, and a 250 hps). We also had a lock on the door to our grow room. There were eight plants that were budding like crazy and 12 little babies in a separate little grow room. We were renting a townhouse on the eastside of Milwaukee and my landlord was a total bitch. The plants were going to be clipped the next day when the landlord knocked on our door at nine in the morning (knowing that we work evening shifts and would be sleeping).
My roommate opened the door and they came in (we were still in our underwear and were scrambling to hide all our bongs and pipes). Her husband ran downstairs with a camera and made us open the door to our grow room. The husband snapped pics of the plants but told us they were not going to call the police. They told us that they were there because they went to both of our neighbors’ places and all they could smell was Skunk weed.
When they left I put all the lights into my car and the garbage bag of weed, which we clipped from the plants. I drove off to hide the stuff at my friend’s house but a little later got a call from the police saying they have the pictures of the plants and I better come back. It took me a while to make my mind up (I called my mom and a couple of friends. My mom told me to go back…eventually, I went back).
When we were being questioned they must have opened the garbage bag of weed because the whole police department stunk (in fact when we went back to get my car – a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8 T – and our phones back, all we could smell was Skunk). We were charged with manufacture of a controlled substance with intent to sell. We spent four days in the Milwaukee County Jail in the felony pod for growing weed. We were with murders and gang members from all over Milwaukee facing serious time. When we got there, everybody knew what we did. In fact, they all looked up to us. They were calling us scientists. It was so funny.
When we got out of the justice department, they let us out in the middle of downtown Milwaukee with no ride or anything (the DA bailed us out on a DPA diversion program agreement, a bunch of BS if you ask me). A couple minutes later an inmate from our pod got out because his charges were dropped. We asked him if we could come back and chill at his place for a little. He thought we were cool so he had no problem with that.
We ended up going back to his place and smoked two blunts and watched a bootleg of American Gangster with Denzel Washington. When we went to our place it was tore up and there was a five-day eviction notice on our door. They ripped my Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead posters off the wall. They took everything: my computer, an iPod, phones…they even took the most important thing, our HIGH TIMES magazines (however, they didn’t get the two oz's of weed we had hidden in the closet…those idiots). Next, we went to the DA and both got six months of drug testing and a bunch of other BS. All I can say is that when the summer comes around (when my probation ends), me and my roommate are going to roll a phatty and get so lit.

This is NO JOKE and is completely on the up and up. Check out their web site and GET INVOLVED!!! You can find all the video proof you need on the web site to prove it is true. Some videos of actual news media and discussions in the senate on a bill to legalize ALL drugs. They are fighting in Congress and the UN and traveling all over the U.S. to help educate people on the failed drug policies. THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND WIIL ALL HAPPEN A LOT FASTER IF EVERYONE GETS INVOLVED. Put your bongs down for one minute and do some networking and tell EVERYONE to voice their opinions.
I urge everyone to go online and look up "Law Enforcement Against Prohibition" and at least check it's validity. I know that after getting busted myself, I was feeling really guilty about the whole ordeal. But after reading through this site for a while I was feeling very disturbed and not because I was wrong but, because WE ALL SHOULD HAVE THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHT TO DECIDE WHAT GOES INTO OUR BODIES!!!
WE HAVE AN OUTLET PEOPLE THAT WILL END THIS INSANITY!!! DO THIS NOW AND TELL EVERYONE IT IS TIME TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS BACK. WE ARE NOT WRONG!!! THE LAWS ARE WRONG!!!!!

Virginia G. Peterson,
Gillette,
this may be true in theory but the reality is that this country is a christian one.christians tend to have blinders on to anything they deem "morally wrong".although i believe more people drank alcohol than went to church the bible thumpers were still able to have booze outlawed which started organized crime.if MJ was decriminalized in all states the fed would not follow suit.just look at CA.the people are in favor of medicinal MJ but the feds still arrest and put the operators on trial.a president that is truly for the people from a political party other than dem or gop is the only way to end this madness surrounding a damn plant.but will there ever be a president thats not a dem or repub?has there ever been?

I was looking up marijuana laws and one's rights, and found that the ACLU added this section to their website. It concerns one's rights when encountering law enforcement (more specifically, in reference to how to prevent unnecessary search and seizure). It includes everything from guidelines to videos of scenarios that tell you what to do and say during traffic stops and street searches. Definitely a good thing to check out. Peace.

TO THE EDITOR:
In accordance with the Gillette News Record and Douglas Budget, Jeffrey Wayne Doles, 37, was convicted June 12 in federal District Court on three counts of selling drug paraphernalia. Doles could be sentenced up to nine years in federal prison and may be fined as much as $750,000. A sentencing date hasn’t been set yet.
What the article neglects to adequately convey is that Jeffrey Wayne Doles was previously found not guilty of the same offense when the case was originally tried before a Circuit Court jury in Gillette back in January 2006. The article additionally neglects to warn you of how alarming the contradicting verdicts truly are.
The logical consequences of trying an individual twice for the same offense are that it literally requires the new jury, to try the old jury’s verdict, thereby subjecting the unanimous meditations of their hearts to the scrutiny of a jury of their own piers, and that’s an extraordinarily disrespectful way to treat “the people” who diligently answered their call to perform their civic duty!
It has continuously been impressed upon us throughout the course of our own lives that government was instituted to work for the benefit of its people. As its people, we should be shocked to discover it utilizing the awesome power vested in it, as a tool to un-constitutionally re-try cases in federal court jurisdictions that have previously seen successful conclusions at state court levels.
Authentically speaking, we know that the law is in place to uphold the constitution and, that in every instance, the constitution should always surpass the law, and we know that it should not ever be the other way around. Naturally, it becomes especially disturbing to discover a public policy, calculated with the deliberate intent of empowering federal government to blatantly disregard your unequivocally guaranteed constitutional right to not “be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” (Bill of Rights, Amendment V, Double Jeopardy)
Ours is not a system designed to unleash the power of the government. It's a system designed to control it, and the people have an indubitable, unalienable and indefeasible right to reform or change their government, whenever it be found adverse or inadequate to the purposes of its institution. Even though, losing the double jeopardy clause of the constitution may not affect you, as a law abiding citizen, it should concern you. What if this was happening to someone you know, and up to nine years of your right to have them in your life was hanging in the balance of this terrible miscarriage of justice?
If you feel as though government is acting adversely or inadequately toward the purposes of its institution, and you realize that sacrificing our constitutional rights in furtherance of its own contradicting purposes is in no way beneficial to its people, we would greatly appreciate you aligning yourself with our mission of pointing a generation of young minds in the direction of the truth, by either joining our friends list at www.myspace.com/unfairtrial or by calling the office for information on how your opinion can be heard through our voice at (307) 358-3246 or cell at (307) 299-3554.

Oh well, lesson learned, right? I got busted a couple times for stupid shit, too. That's the thing, you can smoke all the time and be extremely prudent about it, but one day you might just be a little carless and BAM that's when you get busted. Just gotta be careful 100 per cent of the time, but that sucks too because you get paranoid... haha!
