WHY DOES UPSET CONTINUE TO PICK ON LEGAL GROWERS?

EDITOR:

Jeff Racine, Commander of UPSET: "Some patients, as well as some
caregivers who are allowed to grow pot, are abusing the law and
obtaining permits through fraud. This deception is creating more
problems for law enforcement in Michigan and the other states which
have enacted medical marijuana laws."

Excuse me!! Is he saying that the Michigan Dept. of Health is
committing fraud? Just what does he know that they don't know? You
have to tame your ego Mr. Racine! At least three counties up there
are not buying into your lying rhetoric! All this waste of our tax
money while Lansing cries that we have none and cuts health,
education and welfare for those that need it the most. And for what?
Just to pull a plant out of the ground?

We responsible adult cannabis consumers take great offense to the
word "hemp" being used in such a derogatory manner when this
wonderful plant has played such an important part in our American
history. We are coming out of our closets because we are UPSET that
Cannabis Prohibition still exists in the land of the free. For every
plant pulled and destroyed, 100 more will be planted in their place.
We will overgrow the government - our government - and nothing will
stop us! We are not going away, and we will not quit using this miracle plant!

If you ever want our help in capturing real criminals who peddle real
drugs, Mr.Racine, just ask. Otherwise, your funding-days may be
numbered, because Lansing says that we must cut waste.
