Today is the day that Charles Lynch is scheduled for sentencing. Mr. lynch was a Medical Marijuana Dispensary owner in a state that allows this type of establishment by State law. California has allowed Medical Marijuana since 1996.
Charles Lynch was not arrested by State law Enforcement but by the Federal Agency, The Drug Enforcement Agency. During the bush administration there was a lot of debate about the Federal raids on Medical Marijuana establishments in California since the Federal law still shows Marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug. However, 13 States have laws that allow Doctors to recommend the use of Marijuana for Medical purposes.
Obama announced during his campaign that Federal Law would not disregard State laws anymore. The New Drug Czar stated that the DEA raids in California would stop. This posponed the sentencing of Charles Lynch to give the Judge time to get clarification on the statements by the current administration.
Good Luck Charles, you were providing a service that was welcomed into the community and ran a great business, hopefully the court will see this.
