Lynn and Judy Osburn Raided by the Feds
Again!
From: "Dale Gieringer" <canorml@igc.org>
VENTURA CO, California, Aug 13, 2002 - Lynn
and Judy Osburn, who
were raided last year for growing medical marijuana for the LA
Cannabis Research Center, were raided again by narcotics agents
today. Their attorney, Bill Panzer, says they were growing some
30
plants for personal medical use. The US attorney has indicated
that
he intends to charge them with cultivation.
The Osburns were raided last year while growing
a larger
caregiver garden for the LACRC. No criminal charges in that case
have yet been filed, but the government has moved to forfeit their
property. The Osburns insist that they were operating lawfully
in
accordance with Prop. 215, and paid full taxes on all of the
marijuana grown for the LACRC.
California NORML coordinator Dale Gieringer
denounced the latest
raid as a wasteful misuse of federal law enforcement resources.
"There is no excuse for the federal government to be prosecuting
small-scale personal use 215 grows like this," said Gieringer,
"This
is a nasty vendetta by small-minded federal drug bureaucrats."
