Arrested Mayor of St. George, Mo. Says Marijuana was Medical

Thu, Oct 25, 2007 11:59 pm

ST. GEORGE, Mo. --
The mayor of the St. Louis suburb of St. George says marijuana found at his home was for medical use.

Harold Goodman, who is 64, was arrested Monday on suspicion of misdemeanor marijuana possession. He has taken a voluntary leave of absence as mayor of the tiny community in south St. Louis County.

Goodman claims the marijuana was for treatment of Crohn's Disease, a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. But Missouri has no medical marijuana law.

The incident comes less than two months after a young man videotaped a St. George police officer berating him and threatening to arrest him on made-up charges, a video that made national news. That officer has since been fired.

looks like their gonna get a new neighbor.

The laws suck folks but if you do things right you can grow amounts of your own pot and nobody would ever know.

The best way not to get arrested is to not be seen or heard.

"I own my land . As an American I have the right to grow or raise on my own land whatever I feel I need "

Heh ... use that line in court and see whee it gets you . The only rights you have are the ones they allow you to have . Thats reality.
Now you'll start spouting out about the constitution and the bill of rights and other propaganda . We the people ... amen .

The more elected officials that are found to use med pot, the faster prohibition will end. They're all SO AFRAID that others will condemn them the phoney bastards keep sick ppl suffering so they LOOK good!
If we ever get a president with a set of balls that will tell the feds to cut out the raids, then the states that are held back by chicken shit fucks will pass med bills as well!
I own my land. As an AMerican I have the right to grow or raise on my own land whatever I feel i need! I also have the right to bear arms to protect that land.
This pathetic shit is going to cause a revolution, and the government will be gone when that happens!
