Jailed For Medicine

THIS IS A TRAVESTY

Michael Lapihuska will go before a trial by jury with a potential 
outcome being a prison sentence of up to 20 years for having one gram 
of marijuana - for which he had a valid California license to possess 
for medical purposes. Alabama should recognize one of its 
sister-state's laws and let this go.

It is a travesty to lock a man up in prison for a long time for a 
very small amount of prescribed medical marijuana for personal use. 
Geographical location should never determine criminality. Please help 
stop Michael from going to prison. Jury nullification would be in order here.
