On this day Fathers Day and Juneteenth, Britany Griner and Danny Trevino are being held as political pot prisoners by governmental policy. On Wednesday January 29th, 2020, US District Court Judge Paul Maloney sentenced Mr. Trevino to 15 years and 8 months of incarceration in the Federal Bureau of Prisons system. In detail his sentence is 188 months for conspiring to manufacture and distribute 100 kilograms of marijuana, maintaining a drug involved premises (5 counts) and, manufacture of 100 marijuana plants or more. Mr. Trevino received an additional 60 months for two counts of manufacturing marijuana and one count of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, along with a $10,000 fine and 4 years of supervised release. Mr. Trevino was the CEO of Hydroworld LLC that had locations in Lansing, Grand Rapids and Jackson Michigan.

US District Court Judge Maloney decision was based on the racist polices of Harry Ainslinger the former Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1939 declaring Marijuana as a dangerous drug. While he was in charge of things, many people, especially people of color were arrested and their property seized for being in possession of a marijuana leaf.
Judge Maloney violated Mr. Trevino's 4th amendments right regarding unreasonable search and seizure and, his 10th amendment right regarding the reservation of states rights. By Judge Maloney declaring that federal law supersedes state law when it comes to Marijuana policy, Mr. Trevino's rights under the Bill of Rights were trampled.
On July 30th, 2021 the US Appeals Court upheld the decision and to this day Mr. Trevino is currently residing at the Federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Elkton OH, a minimum security prison. He cannot have any visitors in person because the entire facility is quarantined from public visits because of Covid-19. He is currently has appealed to the US Supreme Court and, grass roots activists are asking President Joe Biden to grant Mr. Trevino a presidential pardon to expunge his record.

This is no better example of international injustice than WNBA Basketball Player Brittney Griner, who is currently in prison in Russia for having a Cannabis laced vape pen in her possession at a port of entry.

| Brittney Griner - Pot Prisoner |
Ms. Griner is a victim of international treaties describing marijuana as a dangerous drug. Lately, the United Nations Office of National Drug Control has softened their policy towards cannabis. On Wednesday, December 2, 2020 the United Nations voted to remove cannabis and cannabis rosin from Schedule IV to Schedule one relaxing restrictions on cannabis. The only countries that objected to the UN's decision were Russia and China. One of the ways to fix this is to rewrite the treaties at the next meeting of the General Council of the United Nations. This action would force Marijuana policy reform of hardliners like Vladimir Putin and politicians in State of Texas that wants to turn back the hands of time.

Website: Experts say that Brittney Griner's hearing will 'never happen'
The bottom line is that both of these people need to be released from prison immediately! This agreement must include expungements and pardons for all Federal Bureau of Prison facilities and, revised international policies at ports of entry recognizing Marijuana as a medicine. Therefore please vote in every election for candidates at the local, state, and federal levels that will support cannabis policy reform starting from now until November.
Happy Fathers day to all the dad's!
Happy Juneteenth! Vote!
