  1. Possession, cultivating, and operating a drug factory.
    The cops just dont care that im legal. The system doesnt understand medicinal cannabis. Im just a drug user to them. How are we free if we have to beg to survive.

    I am a Legal Connecticut Medical Marijuana Patient, and have been a card holder since February 7th of 2013, four months after it became legal in our state. I actually need Medical Marijuana To have the ability to interact with people in a normal way.
    On July 2004, when living on Florida, three guys ended up robbing me at a fourth of July party. They beat me from behind, and began stomping my head until it split open, they went so far as ripping the lining of my brain. (Subdural hematoma) These Individuals tried to kill me, and then they dragged my body to the side of the highway and left me there to die. In the process a neighbor saw them dragging my lifeless body and contacted the police department, were the PD found me and life-stared me to Tampa Memorial Hospital where I was in a coma for about a week. The Drs. told my family that if I did wake up, I most likely would be in a vegetative state. Luckily I survived and pulled out of it, but with many mental disabilities as a result.
    The most major mental condition I have is severe PTSD and TBI. One of my main symptoms I have relating to my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is social isolation. After the injury I wasn't able to work for six months, but as soon as I was fully healed I moved across state and stopped interacting with friends that I had since I was a child. For a little over 8 years I only made an appearance on the fourth of July in my home town, and basically that's the only time I was ever seen besides weddings and unfortunately funerals. After I became a Medicinal Marijuana patient I slowly began reconnecting with people. In January of 2014 I finally moved back near my home town and became active in my social life again. I picked up where I left off prior to my injury, and met both old and new friends.
    In February 2014 while reconnecting with friends I began spending time with NAME REMOVED who's Epileptic, and suffers Grand Mal seizures. I reviewed the studies with her and after learning about the benefits she actually became a medical marijuana patient as well. Shortly after we got married. Now there are no dispensaries in Connecticut and there is no where to safely obtain Marijuana. There was no way to extract the medicinal value from a plant and put it in an oil form that is needed to control seizures other than doing it myself. I attempted on purchasing off the street and from a caretaker in Warwick RI. I was overcharged on the street and actually robbed in Warwick RI for a sum of $500. Because of me being a Medical Marijuana cardholder I contacted the police department and made a statement. After that instance, recognizinge my history that was it. I could not bare getting robbed on the street or elsewhere. The Medicinal Marijuana itself solved my issues of paranoia, self-isolation, severe migraines etc., but obtaining it caused more issues.

    \tNAME REMOVED left me to be with her kid's father a month prior to the night in question. She cleared out the residence of her belongings within the first week, had taken the majority of her belongings and left a couple trucks full of non-essential items in the garage. She was supposed to remove these items before July 4th by order of my landlord. I reside in a private beach community were most of the homes are summer homes, and come the fourth of July residents return there's parties, parades etc. and stay until end of summer. After letting her know this she intentionally left the items there and refused to pick them up. When I stated I was told to get rid of them by the landlord on trash day NAME REMOVED went and filed for annulment on 7/6/14 or 7/8/14 ( Date is illegible on the annulment form) so I would not be able to remove the non-essential items that were still sitting in the garage.NAME REMOVED listed her mother's address on the forms. NAME REMOVED changed her mailing address with the post office as well.
    The night in question: (notice EVERYTHING was captured on two separate police video cameras. EVERYTHING IM STATING CAN BE PROVEN IN THE SAID MATTER!!!)
    7/20/14 NAME REMOVED was in the hospital for surgery and her mother came to get some items from the garage. I began seeing someone else during that this time, and said girls car was parked in front of the house.NAME REMOVED's mother contacted NAME REMOVED without my knowledge and told her the girl I was dating was at my residence. NAME REMOVED left the hospital, to my understanding, and came to my residence. The girl I was dating was resting on the couch and I inside, when a bulky older guy began banging on my door threatening to break it down if I did not open it. I contacted 911 out of fear.NAME REMOVED sent him away and I opened the door, spoke with the police and told them there was no issue and they stated they had to just stop by. NAME REMOVED went outside and loaded there truck with her non-essential items, me and the girl I am dating remained inside until the police arrived. When they arrived we walked outside to let them know everything was fine and NAME REMOVED walked up to the officer pointed to the window and told her she'll take her inside. The officer attached a camera to her persons. I told the officer that NAME REMOVED did not live at my residence and had no right to enter. Weeks before this night HER ADRESS WAS LISTED ON THE ANNULMENT FORM AS HER MOTHERS ADRESS!!! SHE ALSO HAD CHANGED HER ADRESS WITH THE POST OFFICE WEEKS BEFORE THIS NIGHT!!! She had no right to even enter.“Deny use of the family home to the other person without a court order, IF YOU ARE LIVING TOGETHER ON THE DATE THE COURT PAPERS ARE DELIVERED”.\tShe had moved out and taken care of that exception weeks prior, and as I stated, the Police Officers were aware.
    During this unconstitutional entrance of my residence, I asked the police dept. to be able to use my state approved Medicinal Marijuana. My stress levels began to skyrocket; I began to get a pulsating migraine, confused as to why the cops were in my house with video cameras and going through my and my girlfriends things. They refused to let us go inside and get my cigarettes. They refused my girlfriend access as well. They had NAME REMOVED take something. It was small, probably belonged to the girl I've been dating. Just so they can TRY to make it SEEM legal to enter, but it wasn't as listed on the legal documents I was served from court. “IN ALL CASES THAT INVOLVE A MARRIGE OR CIVIL UNION, WETHER OR NOT THERE ARE CHILDREN INVOLVED, NEITHER PARTY MAY: SELL, EXCHANGE, TAKE AWAY, GIVE AWAY OR DISPOSE OF ANY PROPERTY WITHOUT WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH THE OTHER PARTY OR A COURT ORDER except in their usual business or for usual expenses for the home or for reasonable attorney's fees for this case”. So once again, even if whatever she did actually take away from my residence, without my permission or a court order, she had no right to do so.
    After the police Officers came out threatening charges if I didn't give them the right to enter my residence. At some point around here you'll notice me ask again for my state approved medication again, and be denied. You'll see my mental disabilities on the video, that's why I'm unsure of the exact moment. As well as me getting severely confused and needing to speak with my mother on this. I couldn't concentrate on whether to sign the paper cause they already did it anyways and would get a court order, then a police officer said that I'm 32, isn't it time I start making decisions on my own. Which is pretty harsh if you understood my disabilities?
    After my mother arrived, and against her wishes, I was severely confused and gave them permission. They were going to get a warrant in the morning anyways, AND I JUST WANTED THE TORTURE TO BE OVER, so I signed the papers to grant them access.
    They were aware of my disability and need to relax so I had a half ounce of Medical Marijuana in a cabinet as well as THC/CBD pills in the freezer that were mine & a portion NAME REMOVED's who I was still giving her monthly supply until dispensaries opened. She was Epileptic so it's just the positive karma thing to do. This cannabis was taken, and this was legally under the amount that I was able to possess under the CT Medical Marijuana laws. IF YOU MAKE NOTE OF Sec. 21a-408 (11) EVERY USABLE MARJUANA IN THE HOUSE WAS LEGALLY UNDER OUR MONTHLY COMBINED LIMIT!!!
    Well the Police Dept. took everything although I wasn't charged. Months and Months of extracted plant material I was thinking about using in compost because I really didn't even know how to dispose of, My jar of Medicinal Marijuana, My THC/CBD capsules, My inaccurate kitchen scale I used to figure out doses in my and NAME REMOVED's THC/CBD capsules, my capsule machine and whatever else. There are still no dispensaries in CT and it's not against the Medical Marijuana laws for us to create our own medicine.
    \tAs over two weeks pass I began isolating myself again. The police were still holding my medicinal marijuana and I kept contacting them for my medication. Nobody at the time would deal with me because of what happened to me with the police, so I was not medicated and stressed out. My paranoia began to set in. This is when I wrote up my first statement about the incident. My disability set in and no medical marijuana to relive it and I'm sure you can see by the way it was written. See I knew the police department could not arrest me for my medical marijuana according to Sec. 21a-408a because I met all the requirements. I knew they would have to release it when charges were dropped according to Sec. 21a-408f. Honestly they didn't even have a right in the first place to take it, or even enter my house for that matter.
    After over two weeks of waiting the Police Department wrote out warrants for my arrest and when they are signed there ignoring the medical marijuana laws and making there own.
    \tPOSSESION OF MARIJUANA Under section Sec. 21a-408a & I quote “Qualifying patient not subject to arrest” as soon as THIS warrant is signed I am going to be arrested for exactly what the Medical Marijuana laws are supposed to protect.
    \tOPERATING A DRUG FACTORY There is no law against me processing my medical marijuana into a medicinal form. This warrant, as the one above, has no precedence.
    \tCULTIVATING MARIJUANA referring to my disabilities, my past experiences attempting to obtain cannabis on the street, my inability to travel over state lines with cannabis, and the fact that there are no dispensaries in CT to obtain from, I think this charge explains itself. If the allegations are true, not saying they are, I would of had everything cycled so I would only obtain the legal monthly medicinal amount.

  2. TOO LONG; DIDN'T READ
     
  3. TLDR...


    Omega369
     
  4. Got half way through it gave up, but shit man you're head sounded gnarly ripped brain lining? Fuck that!

    Hope you get you're meds brother :smoking:
     
  5. Basically cops illegally entered my residence and recorded my grow area than treated me like a piece of shit. Im a legal patient who is being arrested for cultivating my medical, possession of my medicinal and extracting the thc/cbd into medicinal form. Police and DEA in CT are going by there own laws and ignoring the needs and rights of patients. I apologize for the lenth thats the full statement I wrote for my attorney, NORML, and the news.
     
  6. While I totally agree that it's bullshit, I also don't believe that home grows are actually allowed in CT at this time unless you are one of the not less than 3, not more than 10 cultivators licensed with the state.
     
    Unfortunately, every state that has gone through this has had to have someone who was in your position also go through this. Needing medicine, and not able to acquire any of it. 
     
    If you're lucky you may be able to argue medical necessity, but with the laws the way they are...Im not sure it will get the cultivation charges dropped. 
     
    Have you contacted Americans for Safe Access too?
     
  7. Med patients are not allowed to grow so you will be facing the same penalties as anyone else. If you had more than a kilo you are looking at some serious crimes.
    Why would anyone vote for a bill that does not allow growing is beyond me.
     
  8. I read all of it... that disgusts me how they treated you those scum. I wonder what you signed that they kinda made you sign, maybe it had something to do with the arrest or confiscation?
     
    I wish you luck man, this country is full of degenerates just like the guys who arrested ya. Hope your medical history claims victory.
     
  9. Is it so strict just in FL, or it gets even harder in any other places, I mean states? 
     
  10. I'm sorry about your attack and your situation. I hope you come out victorious and hopefully get some media attention.

    That being said I'll say what I say to everyone. Never give the police permission and never tell on yourself! I know OP has mental issues that lead to his being bullied into signing but it's so important not to give up more rights than you have to.

    I'm fully medical legalized in California and I still hide my grow like it's an undercover cock fighting ring. I would also never ask a police officer to use my medicine during an encounter (no disrespect OP your condition is much more serious than mine)

    Good luck
