Circus time
Starting about a week ago this year's round of attempted break-ins have started. On August 9 at 2:15 AM my dog started barking like crazy in my backyard. Now I didn't have to think very hard about why as I have to grow my medicine in my backyard each year. I had a group of people try to scale my sense to get to my medicine but they were greeted by my pack of dogs and myself and ran off. About an hour and a half later I had a nether visit with the same results. Two days later I had another group of people try to break into my backyard to get access to my medicine and they were scared off as well. This was the first break-in attempt I have ever reported to police for the plain and simple fact that I don't trust them after last year's restaurant. In fact I think you would find very few patients in Washington state that trust our prosecutors law-enforcement or city officials. Then this last Friday, 13 August around 2:30 AM I had another visit of a group of people trying to scale my fence and again they were greeted by my three dogs and myself which again scared them away. About an hour and a half later my dog started going crazy again and this time it was because of the police. My neighbor behind my house called the police because he saw a group of people carrying a 7 foot folding ladder to the back of my fence right where my garden is. They were again greeted by my dogs and by the time I had gotten out there the only people they are worked to officers and their squad car. I have contacted chief Corsi of the Richmond Police Department and told him what was going on and that the reason I was reporting it this year was to develop a data trail showing the danger that patients actually face. I explained to him that last year I had well over 12 attempts at my crop in my backyard and I did not report a single one because I felt that if I did I would become the focus of the investigation rather than the criminals trying to steal my medicine (like what happened to SteveSarich recently). I also sent an e-mail to Mayor John Fox of Richland explaining that there is a good chance that I may end up getting hurt or even killed because of my medicine and being forced to have to grow it myself. I told him that even if nothing happens to me something will happen to a patient that isn't quite as lucky as I've been and that the blood will be on their hands.
The city of Richland, their city attorney Tom Lampson, and both Benton and Franklin County prosecutors(Andy Miller and Steve Lowe) all feel it is far safer to force patients to grow their own medication and to not allow collectives, dispensaries or group grows. This year alone so far I have had seven breakin attempts myself and several other patients I know have had several as well. As we are all now reporting these to the police they will have a nice bit of data to show how absurd their position is. Our local officials do not consider the patient's and have absolutely no compassion when it comes to the topic of cannabis and it is unknown whether they are just ignorant or being totally dishonest. Either way they refuse to follow the spirit of the law and continue to try and make things impossible for patients to access their medicine in a safe local reasonably priced way. Now how many of us have to be hurt killed and robbed before they will reconsider their absurd position?
