CANADA'S HEMP LAWS ARE UNJUST

To the Editor,

The inbox section of the Amherst Daily News of Feb. 13, 2008 had
within it three letters from people who did not seem too happy with
what I have been doing. It is a shame the people who wrote these
letters did not hear what the judge said during my sentencing. Justice
Cacchione stated that there is a great deal of scientific evidence to
back my position and on top of that, I have all those people who
received relief from their conditions using hemp oil as a treatment.

I was possibly facing 12 years in jail yet I received only a $2,000
fine. Did this judge look at me as a criminal?

Not likely.

It never ceased to amaze me that people are so willing to make fools
of themselves over their lack of knowledge.

Maybe those people are not at fault since the news media has done
nothing to inform the public of the truth.

To anyone looking for the real truth go to the www.PhoenixTears.ca and
click on "Run from the Cure." This will take you to YouTube where you
can watch the documentary we have produced.

If you would like more proof, enter THC and cancer in any search
engine and it will return thousands of studies that backup our position.

A person can also go to Scientists exploring Truth in Healing
(www.sethgroup.org) and watch time-lapse video of THC killing cancer
cells in the brain.

To anyone that thinks the law prohibiting hemp's use is just, I ask
you to research how this law was put in place.

In 1923, the government took what was well known to be them most
medicinal plant in the world out of medicine.

Did the government do this to protect the Canadian public from hemp or
was the law put in place to satisfy corporate greed? Whether the
public likes it or not, we have all been lied to by the people who are
supposed to be representing us. For five years I provided oil to
people with medical conditions, why has the medical system not come
forward to defrock me? If what I have been saying and doing is not
true they should have little trouble proving me a fraud.

No one has challenged me because what I am saying is true and they
know it. The world we live in is all about money and the real truth
seems of little consequence until you are the one dying from cancer.

To anyone who turns their back on natural medicine in favour of
addictive pharmaceutical drugs, you have my pity.
