On House Bill 5120, Democrats and Republicans must chill to pass this damn bill!

     The process of streamlining expungement has started with the introduction of House Bill 5120. This bill will allow county prosecutors to be the primary decision maker in removing felonies and misdemeanors from a person’s public record. Under this new legislation, a county prosecutor has 60 days to respond to an application to set aside a conviction for a misdemeanor and 90 days for a felony if the prosecutor does not object to the application.

My Name is Dana,
and I am the AG.
When it comes to the law,
Don't mess with me!

The introduction of this bill is a start of a process that will allow a citizen to clear their record for as little as $65.00.  The $50.00 is a mandatory payment to the Michigan State Police and, the $15.00 is for fingerprinting from your municipal police department. You can get a hardship waiver for the fingerprinting costs from social justice agencies.

In order for this process to move forward, a hearing and a vote by the House of Representatives judicial committee is necessary. Then it must be approved by the all of the representatives. Then the Michigan Senate has to get it together and pass this bill for Governor Gretchen Whitmer to sign into law with immediate effect.

You must contact the elected officials at the bottom of this article to demand that the following list of actions be taken by Attorney General Dana Nessel to benefit the citizens.

• The production of a statewide list of people convicted by MCL number within a county for misdemeanors and felonies for the purpose of expungement.
• Using the list to generate applications for set asides, where county prosecutors and social equity advocates will review cases for expungement.
• If there is no objection to the application, a county prosecutor will have the power of generating letters for Judges to grant default judgments to defendants, relieving them of having to appear in person in front of a judge.
• Defendants will benefit in cost savings from having to pay for parking, fuel, meals and, getting the opportunity to move on with their lives.
• As the top law enforcement official in the State of Michigan, Dana Nessel will implement this within 10 days of the bill becoming state law.

During this hearing, citizens can ask for the bill to be amended with things like removal of quantity limits for marijuana convictions for example. Other lobbyists like for profit prison shareholders will want to add things to keep people incarcerated for profit and make it harder to expunge. Anti-Marijuana groups like the Detroit NAACP will make religious and mental reasons to keep the cash flowing for their rehabilitation programs and organizations.

When the hearing date and time is published (or before) make plans to: show up in person, make a phone call, send an email, text, or, fax to the Governor’s office, Michigan State Senate leadership and, House of Representatives to tell them:

Save the Taxpayers Money, Support HB 5120!

The following voters guide is based on a candidate's support of Green Jobs through the use, cultivation and, manufacturing of the male and female cannabis plant. While states like Colorado and Washington are benefiting from the explosion in green jobs, current Michigan legislators have been very lackluster when it comes innovation and job creation benefits from the acceptance of "The Plant".

The candidates endorsed on this slate would be the best fit to:
1.  Create a friendly environment for cannabis based businesses in the State of Michigan and regulate it's use as a free market commodity.
2.  Reverse the changes in the Michigan Medical Marijuana law that imposes senseless restrictions of the transporting of marijuana in a vehicle and, other changes that are designed to increase the pipeline to prison and, asset forfeiture cash cow that communities rely on.
3.  Creating Green jobs through the cultivation of  Industrial Hemp for products like fuel and building materials for homes, roads repair, and automobiles.
4.  Modify and remove restrictions on felons allowing them to be caregivers in the Michigan Medical Medical Marijuana program. Being honest on giving someone who made a mistake a true chance to succeed and, create jobs if so inclined to do so.

2014 Michigan State Prosecutor Aug/Nov Voting Guide - Take Your Blunt to the Ballot Box

by The Weed Warrior

Warrior Shekina Pena  - Lansing MI
Exonerated by a Jury of  Her Peers(2010)
Accused of  Voter Fraud by
Attorney General Bill Schuette

Has your prosecutor been naughty or nice regarding the possession and ingestion of Cannabis infused products?  In 2014 and, if you support ending the War on Weed, then take your blunt with you to the ballot box and VOTE!  You can vote early in Wayne County by going to the campus of Wayne County Community College and Vote early by absentee, usually by 4:30pm Monday through Friday. Other county locations require you to go to your city clerk's office and Vote early also. As the election date gets closer, there may be a Saturday session also.




Below is the list of all 83 County Prosecutors in the State of Michigan.  The ones that have been tolerant to cana-business are flagged with a "Y".   (Genesee - David Leyton, Ingham - Stuart Dunnings II, Wayne - Kym Worthy).  Prosecutors who have not been supportive have a "N" by their names. (Kent - William Forsyth). Others who are non flagged, county residents must examine their behavior when it comes to Marijuana "crimes" and number of guilty prosecutions regarding the plant. Criteria includes the number of Cana-Business centers in their county and, prosecution of small amounts of Marijuana.

The vote to legalize in Colorado has created over 10,000 jobs in a 6 month period.  Republicans like Industrial Hemp in Colorado because they are able to grow it for manufacturing and, most of them are farmers.  Democrats like legalization because of all of the jobs pot brings to a City.  This is a bi-partisan issue that all parties can agree on and, will enable our elected leaders to pass joint legislation(pun intended) to create jobs. In addition to that, it  will eliminate the need to purchase costly placebo products like Golden Seal at $45 a pop to mask the use of Marijuana in your system so that you can pass a drug screen.

If there is additional information regarding a county prosecutor, then list them in the comment section of this posting.

Fighting the War on Weed: Ending the Double Reverse Racism of the Drug War - Victory is within reach!

by Hard Core Detroit

Sept 13, 2013 @ 4:20am

The desperate fighters of the Drug War have come up with a new strategy.  Put more White People in jail.  Dennis Forsberg, Richard Wershe, Ryan Bashore, Marc Emery are victims of the drug war who happen to be Caucasian.  After reading these cases, you may want to sing a chorus of “Desperado” by the Eagles.



Michigan's Longest Serving Drug War Prisoner

Richard “White Boy Rick” Wershe is the longest serving drug war prisoner in Michigan. Wershe is currently in prison for life since 1987 for dealing 650 grams of cocaine under the draconian 3 strikes law which has since been repealed.  Other prisoners with far more serious crimes, including some of the people Wershe informed on are walking the street today. Wershe was a paid federal government employee recruited to infiltrate the Detroit Police Department by the DEA when he was 15 years old. He was given phony ID, cars and other goodies while people his age were going to High School.  He was a valued employee until he was not needed anymore by the DEA. Numerous attempts for parole have been denied and after a denial, a prisoner has to wait 3 years for another hearing. Is it time to Free White Boy Rick?  In 2013 Richard Wershe would be an owner of a dispensary/provisioning center legally.  Getting rid of the extravagant lifestyle, Richard Wershe would do just fine. 

 He cannot be a caregiver thanks to Michigan Senators Rick Jones, and Virgil Smith.  Felons are barred from being caregivers even though they have served their time in prison.  Some of these felons are veterans that have been to Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.  To be discriminated against by lawmakers who served in a bar instead of a war zone is outrageous.  Will the current White Boy Rick in the Governor’s office commute his sentence? There are many companies that hire felons so where does the Michigan Senate get off by creating stupid laws like this?  These laws need to meet the fate of the Emergency Manager Law that was rejected by the people through the ballot initiative process. Free Richard Wershe (Change.Org) Petition  (The Story of White Boy Rick - AlterNet.org)

Dennis Forsberg, Ryan Bashore, Lance Forsberg, are three of 7 drug war prisoners recently jailed on Drug charges stemming from a deliberate and desperate sabotage  of Michigan’s Medical Marijuana law by Attorney General Bill Schuette, Michigan Senate, and the Western District of the United States Federal Court. These men were in compliance with the Michigan Medical Marijuana act.  JoAnn Forsberg, the wife of Dennis Forsberg explains it like this:

“Three years in a Federal Prison in Butner NC. He was transparent and created legal documents. For all tax and documents filed with state and federal as he was leasing grow rooms to caregivers. We support medical marijuana. But the kicker of three years in prison is we don't smoke Marijuana at all. Forty years together never needed too. In prison for it. Yet even the federal prosecutor stated: we will not allow you to take the drug reduction class to take a year off your sentence because we know you don't smoke or use (drugs) medical marijuana. So the DEA put him in prison via drug leader (for leasing). But know he does not smoke. Federal laws are a mess”

“I have stated as the government holds all patents on medical marijuana. So when it is legal they have the control of it. That Dennis and these other Okemos seven will be the model the government uses to state: this is how we want it grown. Old warehouses. Separate double locked rooms. Police allowed access. Township, schools, authorities all informed. Taxes paid when caregiver sells to own patient. As it takes six hard months of work to create a quality medicine/plant. So no profit. But to be legal taxes need to be paid to be fair to all hardworking Americans and carry a share of tax burdens. Truly the binder these men did to be legal will be the foundation used as an example for all across America someday.” 

2014 Address for 3 of the seven
Ryan Basore #16645-040 Jeremy Duval #46344-039 Lance Forsberg #16646-040
FCI Morgantown, Federal Correctional Institution, P.O. Box 1000 Morgantown, WV, 26507

Better yet, the seven need to be sequestered out of Federal Custody to serve their remaining time at home in Michigan.

Marc Emery

Marc Emery #40252-086 is a Canadian Citizen from British Colombia being held in the United States for mailing marijuana seeds to people from Canada to America. He is currently in the 3^rd year of a 5 year sentence at the Federal Corrections facility in Yazoo City Mississippi for seed trafficking.  Marc has requested to serve his remaining time in Canada.  Unfortunately, the Conservative Canadian Government led by Prime Minister Stephen “I hate Pot” Harper is refusing to let one of his own Citizens come back home.

Mark Emery’s mailing address is:

Update 2014 - (Marc Emery is going home Click Here)

This is an international travesty of major proportions and while this man is in the USA, he is using tax dollars and resources to be kept in an American jail, even though the State of Washington has fully legalized Marijuana for recreational use.  This man is serving time for something that is legal in 20 states in America.  If the Federal Government had any sense, this man would be kicked out of the American Prison and sent to the State of Washington. He could live there in freedom and be closer to his home in British Columbia until Canada takes him back and Stephen Harper is voted out of office.  (Read the Full Story of Marc Emery by Clicking Here)

The conduct of the Federal Government should lead congress to Stand Their Ground and knock this type of behavior down.  This is a complete waste of money and these men should be first on the list for a commutation of their sentences from President Obama before he leaves office.  What would be better is that the US Congress start to de-fund the DEA.   It is time to withhold grants from States who abuse people with excessive sentences and draconian treatment for a plant instead of taking over 40 votes to defund Health Care. This is another candidate for a sequestered release by Eric Holder and the US Congress.  Marc Emery would be welcome in Michigan.

Chef Ra @ Hash Bash
R.I.P.

Putting more white people in jail is not a solution but an expansion of the problem.  Overcrowded prisons, asset forfeiture, and draconian judges must be put in check by the US Attorney General.  Communities all over America must hold their County Prosecutors accountable by threatening to recall them from office. For those who keep pitching the excuse that arresting cannabis users protects children the message to the kids is this. If you will be 18 years old on or before Election Day, you must register to vote and GO VOTE!  Vote Cannabis for change by selecting candidates who are supportive of the reform of Marijuana laws. This is the non-violent and democratic way of managing the republic to which we stand, one nation under the bud with liberty and justice for ALL!  Period.
