View Full Version : The loss of two friends

Hey everyone,

Zandor and I have had some VERY BAD NEWS. Two of our very dear friends just got busted last week. They were having an early morning "discussion" that the neighbors didn't find entertaining. Apparently one of the nosy neighbors called the local P.D. and told them there was a domestic dispute. By the time they arrived at our friends home everything was back to normal. Of course the P.D. decided a quiet home wasn't enough for them, they had to separate the two adults to see if their stories matched; which they did.

Unfortunately the Mrs. of our two friends suffers from some serious medical problems and her speech is impaired do to side effects from a prescription medication. The words come out slow and are hesitated. Example, "I waaaa nnn 't to helllllll p her throuuuuu ggghh this terrrr rrible time. The cops immediately accused her of "being on drugs". She explained the side effects of the medication and they pushed it further. "We smell marijuana on you." They claimed.

They asked to search the home, and our friends promptly said "NO, we want a warrant and a lawyer!" quite a long while went by and the "friendly cop" said, we will leave your wife out of this. We will leave your children alone, if you just let us search your home; anything we find will go against you (the Mr.) and not the rest of your family. After long consideration, Mr. decided he had to SAVE the rest of his family and agreed to let them search. HUGE MISTAKE!!! NEVER EVER LET THE COPS SEARCH YOUR HOME!!!

They found 6 flowering plants and 17 ready to harvest. Before you ask, no neither one of them have a doctor recommendation!!! MISTAKE NUMBER TWO. If you live in the 11 states that let you have a recommendation and you don't have a doctors recommendation, you will go to jail!!!

As soon as they searched they took some of the plants, and some of the equipment. They left all of the seeds and all of their hash. As we all know Cops lie, cops lie, cops lie. How do you know they are lying? Their lips are moving!!! They took the children away to child protective services and arrested Mr. Now Mrs. has the same charges (5 felonies) but because of her medical problems they left her at home; alone.

We all figured Child protective Services (cps) would keep the kids the 3 days they normally take until everything settles down and they and they police make a case. During those 3 days Mrs. got her medical recommendation, so they would be covered in the future. Mr. was hauled off to jail and didn't get to bail out until 3AM the next morning; thankfully his boss bailed him out.

The 3 days come and went fairly quickly. Not fast enough for Mrs. of course she wanted her 5 and 6 year old home were they belong. We ALL thought they would show up; show their recommendation, collect their kids and go home. NO, that didn't happen.

They showed up in court as scheduled and CPS decided that Mrs. is an unfit mother because of the medications her personal doctor has her on. They even went to her doctor and got copies of her medical record (yes, Mrs. signed a consent for them to receive her medical record. MISTAKE NUMBER 3) They told the judge that the Doctor said she was unable to care for her kids in her present medical condition. (medical conditions consist of MS, depression, and seizures.)

They are making Mrs. STOP ALL MEDICATIONS so she is "drug-free". One of the medications, the one that causes her speech problems, stops her seizures and they are making her go cold-turkey. Stopping any of these Rx could cause her to start seizing again, or become unconscious, not to mention suicidal. But they don't care; they are forcing her to unsafely stop these meds and NOW she doesn't even have a Doctor she can trust because hers illegally testified against her (doctor patient confidentiality).

My heart goes out to Mrs. I feel everyone, including MR. has let her down! They are punishing her for being sick!!! I have spent hours crying over this situation. I have contacted EVERYONE I know in the activism field and NO ONE has called me back to try to help her/them. And now, since I haven't been able to help them... they are no longer speaking to us. I have left dozens of messages and they all go unanswered. I finally got the hint, left them a message saying we love them and wish them the best; but we get the hint. We will be here if they need us or want us; but I won't call again.

It breaks my heart to know those kids are not with their Mom... and Dad. It tears me apart to know that Mrs. is going through this alone! And it makes me angry to know that Mr. has jumped on the ban wagon with the rest of them, blaming Mrs. who is SO sick. This shouldn't be happening!!! We all live in California where Marijuana is supposed to be legal. NO county should have the right to ignore a STATE law!!! and no CPS, (with no medical training) should be telling Mrs. to stop "COLD" ALL of her NEEDED medications!!! Let see if I can remember exactly what they told me CPS said, "You can either have your Marijuana, or you can have your kids... it's your choice." I fear Mrs. will be harmed to the point she will never recover from these action. And there isn't a single thing we can do to stop this abuse!!!

In the end, Mrs. will have one hell of a case against CPS, R.P.D., and her doctor But, that isn't going to help her nor them right now.

Please help me in sending "good" karma to her/them!!!

Peace and much strength to your friends.

Sorry to hear about this terrible saga that has unfolded from a heated discussion!

I'm sending out calming, peaceful vibes to your friends right now and hope the Mrs will be able to deal with the situations as they arise, without our sacred sacrament at her side :(

This is so horrible Mrs. Z :mad: Our house will most certainly be sending good karma the way of Mr. & Mrs. and their children. It is such an atrocity that cannabis is illegal for any reason. If this family were alcoholics I am sure they would have an easier time getting their children back, and as we all know alcohol is very damaging to some families. The justice system is so corrupt, I loathe it to the core!

Yep, that sucks. This is also why people should not be afraid to get their doctors recommendation to stay out of trouble in court.

The kids are a huge victim here, they did nothing wrong, they were just being kids, they don't need to grow up any faster than they have to, ya know.

Let's hope it all turns out good, and they are able to get a good lawyer.

The wife and I will be sending all of our good karma their way. What a horrible thing to have happen. I'm utterly disgusted by the way that this government treats its citizens.

And there is nothing wrong with continuing to reach out to your friends, it may just be the depression that is keeping her isolated, and the isolation leads to a deeper depression, which in turn leads to further isolation. It's a nasty spiral.

Again, I'm so sorry to hear that and I'll be sending whatever good karma I can.

Stories like this just appall me its like the f**king Inquisition from the middle ages.

This is so wrong immoral and inhumane. Those basta*d cops should be ashamed of themsleves the whole justice system should be ashamed of themselves.

SHAME ON YOU COPS YOUR LESS THAN HUMAN I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire

How long can this sort of injustice go on for it makes me so angry.......

That you can lose your children taken away for the possesion of weed (or using prescription meds) is just plain evil may they rot in hell. MRs has my good karma but the Authorities have all the bad karma I can manage.

F**king B*star* c**ts

Wish you the best Mrs Z

Their "early morning discussion" was mistake #1. This is what put karma into action. keep it clean. No wild parties, domestic violence, ect.

Mistake #2 was letting the cops into the house. Make them get a warrant, this will give you time to clean up any evidence.

I hope we all can learn from this tragety.


I've lost many friends along the way, so I know how you feel. :( This war on us must end. Its not a war on drugs it a war on social well being. "They" are ripping the very fabric of our social intercourse. "They" want us to be alone with no one to turn to in times of trouble. This is where your friend is heading if you don't intervene. Roll-up a fattie and go talk with her. Let her tell you all about her problems. Give her a shoulder to lean on. :)

Just to let you know; I have done exactly that. Then found out they have to have 3 declining drug tests for CPS to hopefully get their kids back.

My blood is boiling with rage at this. The authorities are Nazis. Of all the crimes that go on in the White House alone with Bush fucking everything up in there, they choose to incarcerate and criminalize innocent medical users, smashing up homes and families in the process. How can this society be called civilized when the enforcement and 'protection' agencies allow this to happen?

I send love to your friends. All my love. I pray for a swift and just resolution.

Hey everyone,

Thanks so much for all the well wishes, good Karma, Prayers, etc. that you have all sent their way. It must be working because I spoke to Mrs. today and she sounds MUCH better!! They have found a simi-distant family member who is willing to take the kids in until this is all resolved!!! They are working on getting them moved as we speak. It will probably take a few days, but this is a huge bright spot in an otherwise dreary situation.

They are desperately looking for legal representation, but they keep running into the $$$ road block. I am trying to come up with a fund raiser to generate some quick cash for them, but I am going out of town in the morning and won't be back until Monday morning. Kind of hard to organize if your not around. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks again for all the love...

This is just HORRIBLE! The Mrs shouldn't be treated like a criminal just because of her sickness! This is an injustice! My friends and I are sending all the good karma we can to her and the family. Hopefully it will help her and make most of this go away.

Always Willing To Help,

Hey everyone,

They are desperately looking for legal representation, but they keep running into the $$$ road block.
Thanks again for all the love...

Have they contacted the state and national NORML to request pro bono help? Also I would ring up the phone to MPP, ASA and whomever else. I hate to take this angle on it, but as sometimes the ends justifies the means, but this screams of something that could be used to highlight the agenda's of these organizations and put the spot light on this disgusting chain of events.
