US Marine Corps combat veteran Kristoffer Lewandowski, who served in three tours of duty overseas including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, reportedly faces up to life in prison for pot charges connected to a June 2014 raid on his Geronimo, OK home that occurred after his wife and neighbors called police to get him help for a post-traumatic stress disorder flare-up. However, rather than providing mental health resources, police responding on the scene searched Lewandowski’s home for contraband and found six marijuana plants, weighing in at less than an ounce of plant matter in total, and charged him with, among other offenses, felony marijuana cultivation, which, under Oklahoma’s unusually-harsh marijuana laws, carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. Truth in Media obtained an exclusive interview with Kristoffer Lewandowski’s wife Whitney Lewandowski in an effort to get their family’s story on the record.
Whitney Lewandowski said that her husband, a loving father to three children who was honorably medically discharged from the Marines and is 100% disabled due to severe post-traumatic stress disorder, was growing the marijuana for personal use, “He was just using it… He couldn’t get any, and, of course, we’re a military family, we’re very poor, we couldn’t afford to buy it anyway. So he was just growing it for himself. He was on his way out of the military and just wanted to see if it would help with [his mental health issues]. He was taking 13 pills a day, and it was just killing his liver. He was having all these issues with his body and he just wanted to try something more natural to just see if he could do without that many pills a day.” She called his medical marijuana treatments “absolutely effective.”

Re: Okla Goes After Marine Drug Loon
Evidently Oklahoma can't tell the difference between some one who needs cannabis medically and those who are just abusing it for fun.
Trouble is no one else can either. There is no reliable test for PTSD. There is no way to tell if the recreational users have a medical problem - PTSD. Or are just defying the law because the prospect of jail time excites them.

Gotta admit, you were right about the drug war Mike, complete waste of time and resources. Hope that Trump isn't just the establishment candidate front running the opposition.

Re: Okla Goes After Marine Drug Loon
In every place legalization was done medical was the stalking horse. I think Trump is going with what sells. About 80% favor medical cannabis. Among voters in the places it has been tested support for medical runs about 55%. It will also be an attractant to some Bernie fans. Hillary is in the "it needs more study" camp. Why does she support Prohibition? "There is too much money in it.
As to Drug War money you might like this. I quote only reputable sources like the WSJ and Bush HUD Administrator Catherine Austin Fitts.

Re: Okla Goes After Marine Drug Loon
You just can't make this sh1t up.
Went back home to see my dad, it happens to be in mikes stomping ground.( Freeport/ Rockford).
And I found that a friend of mine now works at the medical pot facility. gave up his job as a deputy sheriff. Pay is better and all he does is transport money and weed back and forth.
The Kicker?\
Drug test required.

Hey, the Libertarian Presidential candidate uses it. Hillary almost certainly has (I think Slick Willy said he had but didn't inhale). Trump? Wouldn't be surprised.
I may be the only member of my generation who did not. At parties, there were two plates of brownies, and I was never offered the plate with the Alice recipe. But I also didn't rat on my roommates when they lit up. I was taking a neurophysiology of psychology course, and my roomies reminded me a lot of the rat with the electrode in his medial forebrain bundle, so I passed on the easy stimulation.
