JOURNEY FOR JUSTICE - FLORIDA STYLE
SUMMARY
by Kay Lee
April 4th 2000
Although the Journey marched loudly and firmly into Florida's capitol on March 30th, I just arrived home late last night. I've got so many mixed emotions that it is difficult to sort them out so soon, but I want everyone to know the uncompassionate conflicts these patients
overcame this week in their effort to share the truth of bad policies with the people. And
make no mistake. . . we were definitely in a war zone all the way across Florida. The small
band of people traveling as the Journey for Justice had to fight battle after difficult battle
to get their message of change all the way to the capitol.

- Religious Freedom
- Jeff Brown currently has a case pending for lighting up at last years
Washington birthday hempfest in Tampa. "I have raised the Florida Religious
Freedom Restoration Act as a defense stating that I was practicing my
religion when arrested. I am of the Rastafarian faith". Court T.V. has
indicated an interest in covering the trail which is slated for May 22 at
8 am in Tampa. "I would very much like to have some spectators. I will be
defending myself and may be allowed to tell the jury that I was practicing
my religion when arrested and that the state is persecuting me. I will also attempt to
argue jury nullification". Contact JAB@LCIA.COM (JAB)
- Medical Marijuana
- Florida MS PATIENT, BILL WITT, Exemplifies the cruelty of
Marijuana Laws
- Joe Tacl, his wife and son [have answered] felony charges of
cultivation for the 5 plants the police seized in a raid of their
home.
- DrugSense FOCUS Alert # 124 September 8, 1999 Florida Plan Gives Money to Dug Warriors and Takes Rights from
Citizens Despite the refreshing voice of New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, other
state governors remain unwilling to retreat at all on the drug war. In
Florida, a major escalation appears to be in the works. That's right, from
the same people who can't understand why mutant dope-killing fungus is a
risky proposition comes a plan to spend half a billion dollars on drug
control in the state next year.
- Open letter to Mrs. [G.W.] Bush
"...Despite our sympathy for your position, we respectfully believe that
Governor Bush's implied past drug use, and his views about it, are
extremely relevant for evaluating his sense of fairness and justice. This
is a different question from whether his drug use, if any, is by itself a
disqualification from being president. We, too, do not think it is a
disqualification...."
- Bill McCollum's "Silver Bullet" - There's a killer fungus among us, and Florida's new drug czar Jim McDonough
hopes to one day let it loose to murder the state's illegal marijuana crops.
Only one problem: Scientists at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection fear the fungus could mutate,
spread and kill off everything from tomatoes to endangered plants." -- Sat, 17 Jul 1999 - St. Petersburg Times
