SUPPORT MEDICAL MARIJUANA ACT

I would like to ask the readers of the Chico Enterprise-Record to
please write Congress and ask them to pass the "States Medical
Marijuana Rights Act." You can easily do this by going to
www.stopthedrugwar.org/medicalmarijuana/. It can be done in just five
minutes. This act will allow people following state medical marijuana
laws to not be thrown in federal prison for 10 years. It will also
stop vindictive county district attorneys and sheriffs who despise
California's medical marijuana law from conspiring with federal agents
to circumvent California law, by prosecuting medical marijuana cases
in federal court, where the jury isn't allowed to hear the truth, and
isn't allowed to apply California law.

I could never have been convicted in state court, and that's why my
case was turned over to the federal government. According to a recent
Time/CNN poll, 80 percent of Americans believe that an adult should be
able to use marijuana legally for medical purposes, and Congress isn't
listening to the American public.

I am a Chico resident who was recently sentenced to 10 years in
federal prison for the "crime" of "following California's medical
marijuana law." I can be reached at: Bryan Epis, POW, 09636-097, 3600
Guard Road, Lompoc, CA 93436.

Please spend five minutes to help me, my 8-year-old daughter and
thousands of other California citizens who are being terrorized by the
federal government. Thank you.

Bryan Epis,

Lompoc
