    ACTION; Get involved in the movement for safe and legal access to medical cannabis today. Our power comes from our collective action. Whether it's calling Congress, attending rallies, organizing a local activity or chapter, signing an online petition, or supporting federal defendants, take action today!   There are a number of medical cannabis (marijuana) bills in play in states across the US.   Here we network on Ways and Means anyone can help with the effort to make each a medical marijuana state. We need to get the word out and people contacting reps and officials and get this legislation into law. Also, lets not forget efforts at the Federal level.

    South Dakota - Action, Medical Marijuana Patients NETWORK and Spread The Word, both On-Line and Off (!)   ON-LINE, You can tell everybody in cyber-space by e-mailing a link to this website to them and/or (OFF-LINE> printing off the info and handing out where possible / necessary. Also phone call and read off and/or visit and hand deliver the info. You can take literature with you and approach businesses, organizations and even people on the street while you're out and about. Wear your pot-leaf shirt and register voters, as feasible. Gather signatures for any related petitions that are happening at the time as well.

    This is a chain e-mail you can't refuse. Unlike most, this will actually help you - and a whole buncha others - just by passing it on. Cannabis consumer or not - from the folks just trying to take care of themselves or a loved one to those who simply see the expensive, immoral waste of making war on the sick and dying - everyone is affected by this issue.

    To accomplish this you need to first click on the following links and send a message to all the reps and media you can on the issue. Then get everybody else to do the same. And follow up.

    To do this you need to tell everybody you know. And can confide in. Then/or anonymously tell everybody you don't know - or can't confide in. Yet.

    Tell everybody else by Letters-to-the-Editor, displaying signage at street corners and over-passes (wear trenchcoat, fedora and sunglasses if afraid of exposure), and/or anonymously leaving literature and posting on-line at places where people are likely to find it. Coffeeshops are good places to leave printed material and you can go to the websites of the local newspapers to post items as well. More ideas and supporting tools via the links below.

The penalties for possession of greater than 30 grams increase to a possible one year in prison and a fine up to $5,000. * Learn more >>

      Pennsylvania - Resource, Org; local Gettysburg | Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 4 --- Legislation: Possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $500. The penalties for possession of greater than 30 grams increase to a possible one year in prison and a fine up to $5,000. Law Enforcement: The amount of police is minimal. There are never many cops around at all, often times there isn’t a law enforcement officer within half a mile. Although we have heard stories of people who have been busted in the town and for the most cases the people have been turned in (this is because there is such little crime in Gettysburg that the cops have to use even the tiniest offense to meet their quotas). One thing that could make the law enforcement larger at least is the casino that is to be built and is a big issue in the community right now. If the casino goes through, our town will most likely hire more police. This could either spell out for more lax enforcement of the marijuana laws or it could result in even stricter enforcement. * Learn more >>

      Pennsylvania - Resource, Org; local Philadelphia | Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 4 --- Legislation: Possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $500. The penalties for possession of greater than 30 grams increase to a possible one year in prison and a fine up to $5,000. Law Enforcement: Marijuana is still technically considered illegal, but the cops never care. They have real problems to worry about like crack addicts and burglary. another reporter added ” I wouldn’t smoke in front of a police officer, but unless your big-time no one cares. Not because there are “Bigger Problems” because the cops don’t get paid enough to care.” Where to buy marijuana in Philadelphia: Though you can’t find wonderful hydro or anything jaw-dropping, it’s pretty safe to say you can find something in the northeast. Temple students are usually carrying, and if you ask around, someone will help you. any where in the city… north, south, west, southwest, northeast. philly is a city of neighborhoods so watch where u go the streets is crazy out here. be smart use ur judgment when askin someone for weed.. if they look grimey, chances are they are grimey. and if someone asks you wat time it is in the middle of the night, your going to get robbed * Learn more >>

      Pennsylvania - Resource, Org; local Pittsburgh | Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 3.5 --- Marijuana Prices in Pittsburgh: The mids around here can vary a lot in quality but there are some pretty damned good mids–some are about or nearly dro-quality, but then, some are just average. 1/8: about $25; 1/4: about $40; 1/2: about $70; an ounce runs about $120. beasters and dro are widely available, pretty easy to get, but if you don’t have a steady/reliable dealer then these two can be interchangeable. but it doesn’t really matter. 1/8: about $40 kb is not so widely available but isn’t hard to find or anything. prices vary, from 15-20 a gram. 1/8: about $40-50 depending. nuggets can sometimes be more available than, say, kb..expect about $20 a gram. same for headies. * Learn more >>

      Pennsylvania - Resource, Org; local Scranton | Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 2 --- Legislation: Possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $500. The penalties for possession of greater than 30 grams increase to a possible one year in prison and a fine up to $5,000. Law enforcement: Cops will grab you for anything. If caught you will go to central booking and be held for 48hrs. Where to buy marijuana: Look for younger dudes near the University on a weekend night, the basketball courts, or downtown near the mall.. Try to talk to em for a few minutes; If its a U.C. they’ll be extremely rude and walk away (one actually told me he was a cop before I mentioned weed and that I was interfering with an ‘ongoing drug surveilliance’) You’re best bet is the hit up Mulberry St. on a Friday or Saturday night and try to bust a party; It’ll be readily availiable in there (As will free alcohol). Marijuana prices: Depending on what you get $10 – $30 a gram. $50 – 70 for a half $90 – $300 per oz.. rest is really dependant on who the dealer is and what the stock is like. Marijuana brands: Schwagg, Downtown Brown, Mids, AZ, Haze, & Dro, but again it depends on the time of year, the dealer your talking to, and the stock on hand. More information: Southside & Westside watch for police; recently the areas got really hot and the city has increased patrols in those districts. Downtown, Eastside, & North you should be Ok. Up North be on the watch for white dealers as they usually sell gahhhbage. * Learn more >>

    Pennsylvania - Legal Resources, Jury Nullification NOTE: Under the Constitution of the United States of America, jurors have the right to nullify. That is, if you, the juror, disagree with an unjust law on the books, you do in deed have the right to refuse to convict someone, even if they are convinced that he/she did in fact commit the elements of the crime, if the juror believe it would create an injustice to convict the individual.  Just as when you vote for the president you are expected to vote according to your own conscience, you are also expected to vote according to your conscience when you sit on a jury.

    Yes, you, the juror, have the power to check the system. We must make this information available to all potential jurors, including yourselves and your friends and neighbors...anyone who is a potential juror.  However, it is important to understand that jurors have to learn of this right to nullify on their own; the defense counsel is not permitted to mention it in any manner during the trial.

    Norml is committed to making jurors aware of their rights and will be passing out Fully Informed Jury Association brochures in front of the court house to inform people of their rights as jurors.  Volunteers are needed, and in the past PhillyNORML has come through with some excellent volunteer efforts. Here's what you can do: To volunteer to pass out American Jury Institute literature at the courthouse, contact - www.phillynorml.org

    If you have been arrested for marijuana, go for a jury trial, and please let Philly NORML know so we can post it and you can have supporters come to your trial. For more information on jury nullification, visit - www.americanjuryinstitute.org

    This is your chance to get involved! PhillyNORML will be working with the Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA) to hand out informational materials regarding jury nullification to members of the public, and we need your help. An upcoming trial that we feel could strongly make use of this information is upon us. The trial date of Paul Spreng, Richard Ruh, and Michael Kane for marijuana cultivation is Dec 1-5, 10 a.m., Room 701 at 13th & Filbert Sts. The judge will be Rosemary DeFino. Facts of case: Arrested May 12, 2004. No one saw them doing anything illegal. Arrested with a warrant proven to be a material misrepresentation in court. Police admitted on the stand to having been coached in their testimony and having moved evidence around to fit their story. For more information on the case, go to www.sprengcase.com. You support is needed. Thank you for all that you do. Please forward this information as you see fit.

    Places that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States Places that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Multiple places have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States; however, cannabis is illegal under federal law. Gonzales v. Raich (2005) held in a 6-3 decision that the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution allowed the federal government to ban the use of cannabis, including medical use even if local laws allow it. Most places that have decriminalized cannabis have civil fines, drug education, or drug treatment in place of incarceration and/or criminal charges for possession of small amounts of cannabis, or have made various cannabis offenses the lowest priority for law enforcement.

    Where lawmakers stand on pot issues

    The Citizens' Voice, sister paper of The Sunday Times, asked legislators in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties for their positions on medical marijuana, industrial hemp, decriminalization and legal marijuana. Here is what they said:

    REPRESENTATIVES:

    Mike Carroll ( D-Avoca ) | Medical marijuana: "With strict oversight by a physician with respect to medial use and with strict oversight by the state for its availability, I support the use of medical marijuana for specific ailments. In my view, if our family doctor recommended medical marijuana as the best option to treat a member of my family and I was convinced it was a safe option, I would embrace this usage just as I do with other medications which a medical doctor has prescribed." Industrial hemp: "Consistent with the federal Farm Bill of 2014, I support a change in Pennsylvania law to allow for the cultivation and processing of industrial hemp. This product, with only trace THC levels, is a product used in a wide range of applications and poses no danger whatsoever of illicit use. Senate Bill 50 provides a solid framework for the introduction of industrial hemp."

    Decriminalization: "Considering the very real distinction between a dealer and someone in possession of very small amounts of marijuana, I generally support a reduction in the grading of the offense for possession of small amounts but do not support total decriminalization." Legal marijuana: "I oppose the legalization of marijuana."

    Marty Flynn ( D-Scranton ) | Medical marijuana: "I'm pro-medical marijuana. I actually don't think the current bill goes far enough with just the oils and the inhaling. I don't see why the plant itself can't be used." Industrial hemp: "I introduced a bill with Rep. Russ Diamond that came out of committee in which the state universities would run a pilot program for industrial hemp. I think it's a huge upside to the industry of Pennsylvania."

    Decriminalization: "Without a doubt I support that. Incarceration is costing us billions of dollars a year. The War on Drugs been a failed policy, especially in the instance of marijuana." Legal marijuana: "I do support full legalization but at same time I think the best way to go through the process is to start with medical. .. I don't think we should jump in right off the bat per se, but I do support it."

    SENATORS John T. Yudichak ( D-Plymouth Twp. ) | Medical marijuana: "Constituents who could benefit from medical marijuana and many more that had a family member who could have lived more comfortably with the availability of medical marijuana have shown me the serious need for this medical treatment. The legislation I support provides for the responsible, compassionate medical use of marijuana for the treatment of certain medical conditions."

    Industrial hemp: "I also support a measured and regulated approach to making industrial hemp more available for a wide range of commercial and agricultural uses in Pennsylvania." Decriminalization: No comment. Legal marijuana: No comment.

    John P. Blake ( D-Archbald ) | Medical marijuana: "I support medical marijuana and have voted in favor of SB 3 which would effectuate a sound and well regulated medical marijuana regimen in Pennsylvania." Industrial hemp: "I am not thoroughly informed on issues surrounding the industry of industrial hemp save that I am marginally aware of its successful uses and applications as a result of production of the product in other parts of the world. My colleague from Lackawanna County, Rep. Marty Flynn, has looked into this matter more deeply than myself and he advises me that it could be an economic opportunity for Pennsylvania if we permit its growth and production here."

    Decriminalization: "I would be willing to look closely at that but we need to ensure that we get it right. It is worth exploring this, again in concert with our federal partners, in order that we avoid having non-violent offenders labeled for life as felons or for our corrections costs to be skyrocketing due to the incarceration of people for non-violent, minor marijuana-related offenses." Legal marijuana: "I do not support the legalization of recreational marijuana use."

    Lisa Baker ( R-Lehman Twp. ) | Medical marijuana: "Until there is a substantial shift in the view of our leading medical professionals, and until there is more scientific study verifying the purported benefits, I will be a "no" vote on medical marijuana. However, I support clinical trials for kids whose conditions do not respond to traditional treatments." Industrial hemp: "Federal law seems to be a serious impediment to farmers in the states where industrial hemp has been legalized. It is hard to see any advantage to Pennsylvania acting as long as the DEA remains resistant."

    Decriminalization: "I support re-examining mandatory sentences and other criminal justice laws that have caused prison populations and correctional costs to soar. I have voted for several bills aimed at altering sentencing practices." Legal marijuana: "I do not support a broad legalization of marijuana." >>  Read more>> - on this Item.

    Pennsylvania, News - MPP and Keystone Cannabis Coalition release PA voter guide MPP and Keystone Cannabis Coalition release PA voter guide - Last update: October 18, 2016 | November 8, 2016 Election: Pennsylvania Voter Guide | Pennsylvania is one of 26 states that lacks a voter initiative process, meaning the only way to enact state marijuana policy reforms is via the state legislature. With Election Day around the corner, MPP and the Keystone Cannabis Coalition have issued a voter guide to help you help shape the next legislature. First, look up your state House and state Senate districts here. Then, check out our voter guide to see where candidates stand on medical marijuana (if they’re sitting lawmakers), replacing possible jail with a civil fine for possessing marijuana, legalizing and regulating marijuana for adult use, and allowing adults to grow their own cannabis. Third, spread the word (short URL: mpp.org/PAvoterguide) so other voters can cast informed votes! And, last but not least, don’t forget to vote on Tuesday, November 8!   >> Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/pennsylvania/

    Medical marijuana | On May 17, 2016, Pennsylvania’s Medical Marijuana Act, Act 16, went into effect. The Department of Health has until November 17 to start publishing temporary regulations. The department issued one set of regulations already, which are meant to protect the parents of minor patients via a safe-harbor letter. Unfortunately, the state has yet to take any action to provide adults with interim protections. Adult patients will likely not have legal protections until after the department approves further regulations and a four-hour course physicians must take. Before doctors can recommend medical marijuana to patients, they must participate in a four-hour course developed by the Department of Health. This will likely become available in the fall or winter. After a doctor has taken the course and registered with the department, he or she can write recommendations for patients who suffer from qualifying conditions. After receiving the doctor recommendation, a patient will then register with the department to receive a certification from the state, which will allow the patient access to state-permitted dispensaries.

    The health department will regulate 25 processors/growers, along with 50 dispensaries, which may have up to three locations each. If you’d like to know more about Act 16, details are available here. Many thanks to all the patients and loved ones, legislators and staff, advocates, and MPP donors who made this compassionate law possible!   >> Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/pennsylvania/

    Decriminalization | On May 17, 2016, Rep. Ed Gainey, one of the lead sponsors of medical marijuana legislation in Pennsylvania, introduced HB 2706, a bill that would decriminalize the possession of marijuana. Currently, an individual arrested for possession of up to an ounce of marijuana can still be sentenced to a maximum of 30 days in jail and fined up to $500. Rep. Gainey’s bill would reduce the penalty to a fine not to exceed $100. This long-overdue change would dramatically reduce the number of Pennsylvanians who have their dreams derailed by a criminal record. A 2013 study by the American Civil Liberties Union found that although blacks and whites use marijuana at nearly identical rates, enforcement is far from equal: blacks in Pennsylvania are 5.2 times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession.   >> Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/pennsylvania/

    Localities in Pennsylvania are leading the charge for more sensible marijuana policies. Since October 2014, the local governments in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and the State College Borough have each approved measures to reduce the penalty for personal use possession of marijuana to a simple fine. Our friends at the Keystone Cannabis Coalition have played a leading role in these reforms. Tell your state legislators it’s time the full Commonwealth follow suit.

    Take action! See Pending Legislation | Stay connected: To stay updated on the status of marijuana policy reform in Pennsylvania, be sure to subscribe to MPP’s free legislative alert service now. Take action: Write your representatives and tell them to support the decriminalization of marijuana! Contact us: If you are a medical professional or a patient who might benefit from medical marijuana, or if you know somebody who might benefit from medical marijuana and you want to get involved, contact us at state@mpp.org. Please include your zip code so we can determine who your lawmakers are.

An article by longtime medical marijuana opponents Drs. Eric Voth and Dr. ... May 15, 1997 - Philadelphia, PA, USA | An article by longtime medical marijuana opponents Drs. Eric Voth and Dr. Richard H. Schwartz of the International Drug Strategy Institute -- an anti-drug think tank based in Topeka, Kansas -- rejecting the use of marijuana as a medicine should not be interpreted as a new research study, cautioned Allen St. Pierre, Executive Director of The NORML Foundation. The article, published Wednesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, is based on the assumptions of the authors after reviewing a portion of the hundreds of existing studies published in the 1970s and 1980s pertaining to marijuana's medical potential. The authors admit that they failed to consider anecdotal accounts of marijuana's medicinal effectiveness when drawing their conclusions. visit - http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3721

Suffering Suspicion; Uncertainties about a local clinic show the need for clear regulatory involvement, activists say - By Vrinda Normand | TWENTY YEARS of experience as a physician's assistant didn't prepare Karen Berman (not her real name) for a short-lived stint writing medical marijuana recommendations. In the summer of 2004, she responded to a lively ad on the PA World website (www.paworld.net). "San Jose non-profit needs PA's immediately!" it said. "We have a huge demand and will be hiring an estimated 85 PA's by the end of the year." The ad didn't specify the nature of the work, but stated, "We offer informational programs for patients who are suffering from a wide variety of symptoms. Our team of professionals will design specific plans to alleviate the discomforts associated with their symptoms." Berman admits that she was skeptical at first, but Donye Mitchell, the owner of the Suffering Patients clinic in Santa Clara, reassured her that he was a lawyer and knew everything there was to know about Proposition 215, the state law passed in 1996 which allows people with certain medical conditions the private use of marijuana if approved by a physician. ...

A thin woman with long, dark hair and an intense gaze, Raich takes marijuana, or cannabis as she prefers to call it, about every two waking hours — by smoking it, by inhaling it as a vapor, by eating it in foods, or by applying it topically as a balm. She says that it relieves her chronic pain and boosts her appetite, preventing her from becoming emaciated because of a mysterious wasting syndrome.

Medical Cannabis and the Public Policy Process By Jon Gettman, Ph.D. [This article expands upon remarks originally presented to the 4th annual National Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics, April 8, 2006 in Santa Barbara, California.] | The medical use of cannabis presents many interesting public policy problems in both the United States and Canada, interesting unless one happens to be a patient in which case the problems are more likely described as being frustrating, often physically and emotionally painful, and most certainly urgent. How, then, can the public policy process be utilized to alleviate the suffering of patients in a timely manner? These remarks focus on medical cannabis use in the United States, but the general issues raised in this discussion may provide useful perspectives for Canadians by providing an approach that frames the issue in a useful and productive fashion. There are five key questions that must be considered. 1) How many people are affected? 2) What problems do they face? 3) What solutions have been tried? 4) Why must we address this problem? 5) Where do we look for remedies?

In fact, as the scientific evidence builds, public support grows, and other countries including the UK are easing their policies regarding medical marijuana, the U.S government is digging its heels deeper into the muck as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) tries to outlaw hemp products in the U.S. as part of their war on drugs. An open discussion in the U.S. on the medical utility of Cannabis has been hampered by outlawing its medical use through the wrongful placement of marijuana in Schedule I (forbidden class) of the Controlled Substances, censoring the publication of favorable findings in marijuana research (national and international), limiting U.S. research to the study of its dangers by only approving research through the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and repeating exaggerated claims of its dangers regardless of the lack of science behind these claims.

    Medical Cannabis, History - Letter: Medical Marijuana Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis | If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids. Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.

    Pennsylvania, Cannabis as Medicine  - MEDICAL USE OF CANNABIS AND CANNABINOIDS: REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE House of Lords - Science and Technology - Ninth Report | Chronic (long-term) toxicity … Tolerance to cannabis … Dependence on cannabis … CHAPTER 5 MEDICAL USE OF CANNABIS AND CANNABINOIDS: REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE ... CANNABIS: THE SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL EVIDENCE. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION - 1.1 - Cannabis has been used medically for thousands of years in oriental and Middle Eastern countries and as an intoxicant for many hundreds of years in India and in the Middle East; and it was employed in Western medicine for at least two millennia. The medical use of cannabis in Europe and North America, however, declined in this century because of the lack of any standardised preparations of the plant product and its unreliable absorption when given by mouth, and because of the development of more potent and reliable drugs for the conditions for which cannabis was then being used. 1.2 During the 1960s and 1970s there was a large increase in the use of smoked cannabis as an intoxicant in the USA and in Europe, where it had been largely unknown previously as a drug of abuse.

    Medical Cannabis - Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine. The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.

    " Hello,

    I need pointed in the right direction. I am 27 years old but I'm stuck at a scared little girl phase because of reasons I can't type out without bursting into tears. I was verbally, physically and sexually abused by my father from the ages of 12 to 16. I used college to run away, dropped out, and then never talked to anyone in my family again. I wish I had the money for a doctor, my teeth, my eyes and most importantly my mental health.

    I got pushed into a plea deal where I got jail time and my 'partner' just paid it off. I get panic attacks if someone I don't know is in my house. I become hostile if I'm at a place I haven't been before. I am the shyest person I know if I have to talk to anyone I don't know. There's something wrong with me and I'm scared to death I'll kill myself or hurt someone else if I'm put in jail.

    All I want to do is help my last friend in the entire world and work with abused parrots at her sanctuary. And this week was the last straw. My co-defendant's lawyer called her and told her I'm under surveillance and they know she drove me to the bank (to pay rent Tues the 3rd) and that it was in her best interest to not be associated with me. She wants to be there for me in the hardest part of my life and I do not trust easily, but she is afraid 'the government' will take her home and parrots away for helping me.

    Why am I being followed by unmarked cop cars? I've seen them. Why does his lawyer know these things? I signed the plea deal Aug 28th, I go for sentencing the 5th of Nov.

    I don't know who will actually read this, I'm probably going to copy paste it to as many places and people that might be able to help me. I knew what I was doing was illegal, but it wasn't wrong. He owned the house (he's losing it in his plea deal, that's the 'buying off' he's doing, he has other houses) and I had no where to go, and I didn't mind growing cannabis for his sick friends. But he got greedy, he told everyone about it and he got caught. But of course so was I. After we were caught he didn't kick me out, but demanded rent and even made me prostitute myself to get his money back from everything that was seized.

    I'm so horribly broken, I've afraid if I go in, I won't come back out. There must be something I can do other than jail time for a non-violent offense that most Americans don't believe should carry jail time.

    I don't have a phone, just a roof over my head because of the love of my life. I eat when I can, sometimes stealing from my roommates. I can't hold down a job because of my temper/shyness but I found joy in helping sandy at her parrot sanctuary and helping them trust people again so they can find loving homes. If you wish to speak to her, she's older and doesn't use email, her number is 717.652.1106. I live at 303 Willow Road, Harrisburg, PA, 17109.

    Sincerely,

    Sara Elizabeth Gatto "

    " On February 8 a Sykesville cop entered my home uninvited and without a warrant and asked my roommate if he could search my home because he stated that he could smell marijuana. My roommate refused the search and told the officer he would have to leave. The officer did not do so and continued to try and get permission for a search and have my roommate sign a waiver for a search. I was not home at the time. I am on disability for OCD and depression. I can not get a doctor to prescribe a tranquilizer and we have had no success finding a drug that controls my anxiety and depression. I grow and smoke marijuana for depression and anxiety. . I have received no search warrant or probable cause affidavit. I have not yet been charged. I believe that the police dispatch tapes for the Sykesville police in Jefferson county will show that the officer was denied permission to be in my home. I can not get a copy of the tape from Jefferson county emergency services and the local district justice's office says they can not give me a subpoena for the tape. Those tapes will shortly be erased and I believe I will be charged after that evidence disappears. I can not afford a lawyer, I am on disability and receive 875 dollars a month. I have been on disability for almost ten years and have a long history of mental illness. I am a licensed plant nursery and seed dealer for the commonwealth. I grow many other medicinal herbs and make tinctures and oils from my other herbs to help people with various diseases and physical complaints. My herbal processing equipment was either seized or smashed by the searching officers. My legal herb tinctures I had in the works were confiscated along with bars of homemade soap. I try to earn a little extra money by selling plants and seeds on EBay and by making herb tinctures to help sick people in my community. I garden profusely as it has become a part of my OCD. Wish me luck.
