Thankfully, this desperado will appear in court to answer for these heinous offenses. Thus, saving America's women and children from degenerates such as this.

This is pathetic.

Law enforcement needs to re-direct its focus on crimes... to those that are REAL crimes.

I spent 5 years in Federal Prison for a marijuana offense. While I was there, I watched armed bank robbers come and go in as little as 20 months.

After 3 years 'behind the wall,' I pointed this out to the parole board. Their response: “You must understand, yours was a very serious offense.”
How do you respond to that mentality?

I laughed about the parole panel's comment for 2 more years (as I still sat in prison), then wrote my book:
Shoulda Robbed a Bank

No, it is not a treatise on disproportionate sentences. .

I wrote about the escapades that led to my incarceration. I admit, I had a great time. No one was injured, no one was killed, firearms were not involved...there were no victims.

We were Americans pursuing happiness in our own way. Harming no one...nor their property.

That’s my contribution to helping point out just how ludicrous our pot laws truly are.
I would be honored by your review.

And, I wish Mr. Farrar a speedy and complete exoneration.

I have been diagnosed with colon cancer, and need surgery. I don't like prescription narcotics, and pot gives me some pain relief and makes me hungry to keep substanance for my well being. (I also don't have health insurance). It also by all accounts was an illegal search and seizure, since I was given the choice between being held in jail for 48 hrs. while the police applied for a search warrant, and then have my home tore appart, or co-operate and they would go easy on me since I cooperated. So much for our constitutional rights to privacy! I denied them access at first, requiring a warrant. But I did consent after fear of my house being gutted. I didn't sell any and was keeping for myself since I don't have the money to go out and buy any. I appreciate your kind thoughts. -Jim-

@ Jim Farrar...

Cannabis prohibition is a crime against humanity conducted at tax payer expense.

Everyone should do the morally right thing and tell law enforcement NO MORE !!!
One way to do that is called JURY NULLIFICATION. When on the jury, just say "not guilty" for all pot cases.

Mr. Farrar...I would really research 'jury nullification.'
When I was arrested in 1981, for a marijuana offense, I wish I had known of the concept...

Sir, I wish you nothing but the best.

Below is another testimonial.

I copied the below comment from another website. I think the American veteran who wrote this sums it up very well:

"I am a disabled Army Veteran and smoke marijuana strictly for medical purposes. I never smoked before I broke my back in the military and it hasen't been a gateway to anything. I started smoking because of my cauda equina syndrome.
I had a herniated disk in my lower back that compressed the nerves at the lower end of my spine (cauda equina nerves). The doctors couldn't prevent permanent damage, so I am left with permanent pain that is so severe that it leads to vomiting on a consistant basis without my medacine (marijuana). The doctors prescribed me morphine, oxycodone, oxymorphone, oxycotton, hydromorphone, hydrocodone, etc... All of the above named meda...
cines made me useless, I hardly knew what was happening around me. On top of that, they didnt help with the pain or the vomiting from the pain. I felt like bugs were crawling under my skin.
After complaining about this for a while, friends and family handed me cannabis. I was reluctant at first, due to the stigma that goes along with it. After I gave it a try, I realized that it was far and away a better solution than any of the above named DRUGS. I had none of the issues with cannabis that I had with all those other PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS. I can function and carry on with my life. Marijuana has made me a better person and a far more functional parent and husband."

filthy!

All card-carrying members of the DEA need to read: Shoulda Robbed a Bank
Here is one of its reviews:

5.0 out of 5 stars... If David Sedaris had written 'Catcher in the Rye'..this would be it, June 30, 2012

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Shoulda Robbed a Bank (Kindle Edition)

I have never smoked pot in my life...nor do I ever care to.
I read about this book in numerous Huffington Post comments. Thought I would read it because I know nothing about marijuana or the people involved with it. I am ecstatic that I did. Funny, Funny, Funny!!!
The chapters are like short stories. Stories about unloading boats with helicopters, close encounters with law enforcement, traveling through the jungles of South America. The chapter about the author's first time smoking marijuana made me feel like I was with him...coughing.
All of the characters were just a group of loveable, nice guys and girls. Not what I had been raised to believe...hysterical maniacs high on pot bent on death and mayhem. They were nothing like that.
If you have ever read any of David Sedaris' books, and like them...you will love Shoulda Robbed a Bank.
And the crazy things happening reminded me of Holden Caufield in 'Catcher in the Rye' and the way he staggered through life.
The way the words are put together are like nothing I have ever heard. I am sure I will use many of the sayings found in this book just to dazzle my friends. A terrific read. I love this book.

Couldn't agree more!
