Not mentioned in the story was who the unwilling victims were. That's because there were none. Ten to 30 grams is one-third to slightly more than one ounce. Not likely a major trafficker. Perhaps the real victim, Steven Lewis, was attempting to save his own life by using cannabis, a natural herb that prevents Alzheimer's disease and many types of cancer. Why hasn't our government told us about the many health benefits of cannabis? Because they are prevented by law from doing so. The National Institute on Drug Abuse and its employees are prevented by law to investigate or research any of the many benefits of cannabis consumption. I strongly suggest that the readers read Clint Werner's outstanding book "Marijuana Gateway to Health: How Cannabis Protects Us From Cancer and Alzheimer's Disease."
