Do people really go to prison for medical marijuana offenses?
People really do go to prison for medical marijuana offenses, absolutely. The DEA has stepped up its enforcement efforts in California to extensively send a message. That's what they say; they say they want to send a message. And of course Bush, Bush likes to send messages, he's doing this right now to strike fear into the heart of the community of California that is advocated for medical marijuana. People really do go to prison for this There are a couple of notable cases of people actually getting prosecuted, high profile cases of people getting raided, prosecuted and then their sent to prison. A poor guy named Ron Naulls, Ronnie Naulls, I believe is his name has had his family torn apart and what he was doing was providing medical marijuana to sick people in California. Legal under state law it's allowed under state law and he helping out sick people and he had a beautiful family, beautiful wife, beautiful kids and it was torn apart. His wife's been charged with child endangerment he's in prison, his kids were taken by child protective services and again these are collateral consequences to this sort of thing. So yes people do go to prison for it and it ruins lives.
