DEMONSTRATION CALLED TO SUPPORT MAINE MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAW & JEFFREY P.
BARNARD'S RIGHT'S
A statewide gathering has been called for on May 17th, 8:30am, at the Bangor Federal Court Building to support the Maine Medical Marijuana Laws and Jeffrey P. Barnard's right to choose marijuana as a medicine over the narcotics doctors are pushing on him.
Jeffrey is a legal Medical Marijuana patient with a card in Maine who is under Federal Release conditions. His condition is very serious, and he has just lost his foot. The conflict is State's rights vs Federal Law. Jeffrey's life and health are at risk as the Federal government continues to refuse the to accept the use of Marijuana as Medicine.
I would like to again remind people that the Federal government was the first to prove with their own doctors, in the case of Robert C. Randall, that Marijuana was Medicine. This led to a Federal Program that still awards patients 300 marijuana joints a month. Acceptance to this program was discontinued by our first president George Bush because he did not want his administration to be seen as soft on drugs. I guess he was trying to keep little George W. off cocaine. Didn't work out so well for him. Talk about a Snow Job! But the fact is, the Federal Government Still Gives Marijuana As Medicine by Prescription to this Day!
Jeffrey P.Barnard has been trapped in the legal system 15 years now, with only a few of them for his original crime. Most of this time spent is for Marijuana violations on Federal Release.
Jeffrey uses Marijuana for pain relief and has suffered greatly at the hands of the police. When arrested he was beaten so badly he had to have tubes inserted to urinate for months due to a bladder blockage. In Federal Jail he had both legs and his back broken in their custody. He then contracted infections under their care that led to the loss of his foot. He was coming from his doctors appointment with his wife Vicki when he was confronted by police. He saw them coming and tried to cut his own throat. He was then tackled, handcuffed and maced by police. He had just been told his other foot is now at risk due to the metal pins getting infected.
He was arrested as a fugitive from justice because he had not shown up for a court date. Jeffrey was afraid to go back to court because Judge Woodcock had told Jeffrey that he had a cell with his name on it for life. Jeffrey had stated to many that he would kill himself rather than going before Judge Woodcock again.
Jeffrey was again presented to Judge Woodcock, with a line of stitches across his neck. At that time Judge Woodcock did recant his threat of a life long cell, and set a new court date for May 17th at Bangor Federal Court House, early morning.
If I understand Jeffrey P. Barnard's situation correctly, Jeff will be tried for violations of parole on May 17th. in Bangor Federal Court. Court Time I believe is 8:30 am. At that time it will be in Judge Woodcock's power to give him as little as seven months and award him time served so he would not need to spend anymore time in jail. Furthermore, it will be in Judge Woodcock.'s power to choose the conditions of his release and could do so without court supervised release. He could immediately end this conflict between Federal Parole and Jeff's legal right to use medical marijuana in the state of Maine.
Many Marijuana and Caregiver Groups in Maine are rallying behind Jeffrey P. Barnard to support him in his right to use Marijuana as Medicine, and a Public Gathering has been called for on Tuesday, May 17th at 8:30am in front of the Bangor Federal Building & Court House to show support both for Maine's Medical Marijuana Laws and Jeffrey's right to legally medicate in the State of Maine.
We are asking Judge Woodcock to show some compassion in Jeffrey's case and to allow him to go home to his wife Vicki, and address his very serious health concerns.
Jeffrey's crime had no victim yet it has cost him 15 years of his life & freedom, his health and his foot. He has paid for his crime and it is time to now let him go home.
