Message from Jailed Medical Marijuana Activist

San Bernardino narcotics officers ready fire aim on recipient of court ordered plant limits. Richard Channing runs the Genesis Health and Healing Center on the way to Deep Creek Hot Springs in the Wilderness above Apple Valley, CA. He vaporizes large doses of concentrated marijuana (Keif) before doing extended soaks in 46 degree F. and 114 Degree F. Water to cleanse his tissues at the cellular level.

He was deprived of his rights when he received a phone call from a San Bernardino narcotics sheriff, while in town shopping. He was deprived of his rights further when he heard that his lawful medicine for a year had just been yanked. Richard's first response was that the sheriff had just violated a court order. He further informed the officer that he had only grown 16 plants (two were small Amles) and the terms and conditions of his probation were for 40 flowering and none of the plants were flowering. He agreed to meet in town, where he was taken into custody for the charges of possession for sale and cultivation. He will be in custody 33 days until his August pre-preliminary hearing at Victorville, CA. He hopes to retain Attorney Bruce Margolin before this important hearing.
