I did all I could to help provide cannabis to my members. I got off parole on Monday, but my appeal is still in the works. I will cost the county about $200,000 and the state about the same before I am through. The Chico Cannabis Club is open and doing well. We meet Saturdays at Has Beans on Main Street at noon. This is an example of living in a society that would rather see you in jail/prison then helping to gain "safe access" to my members. You will see this outcome if I live long enough to come out in my favor. I am fighting for the rights of patients to have safe access, and the district attorney is fighting to keep the criminals rich. No matter. When the real truth be told, he will be the criminal, and I will be exonerated. Joel Castle Chico - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
