RESPONSES TO THE SKELETON IN MY CLOSET

Responses to the
SKELETON IN MY CLOSET
I am going to include some of the many responses I received to this email. I will also include the writer's initials and the name of the list the reader saw my email on if applicable.

Please read my comments and keep KayLee in your prayers. She is a member of our group. Our prisons are full of people like KayLee who haven't harmed anyone but have used something the law said was wrong. Montel Williams uses it for his MS and has told it several time on his show. I don't know if he has a Dr's slip and it is sent to him or not. Our government grows and sends it to some of the citizens which is not a well known fact KayLee doesn't belong in a prison cell Many others don't either. Please pray for her. She has had such a hard time with her health and still hasn't completely recovered.

I was going to send this privately to KayLee but decided to share it with the group too::::

KayLee this is horrible!!!! I know you haven't fully recovered from the heart surgery either.

My son used marijuana and when he didn't he was in the garage sitting in the dark or in bed all day telling me the only thing he needed was a bullet for his gun. He was suicidal most of the time. He has a lot of back pain from two back surgeries. He has not spoken to me in 7 years but if he is still using it I am ok with it.

We have lawyers, doctors, etc. who use it so I am surprised something hasn't been done to stop this law. As you said, you didn't harm anyone. I know there are people who misuse it but without it some people couldn't function at all in the world.

So many are in prison for using this and I sure hope you are not one of these people. All this does now is make the lawyers a lot richer!

My prayers and thoughts are with you KayLee you don't deserve any of this!!! You will not be taken of outsidelookingin4U so don't worry about that ever.

I am glad your family is there for you. I can't image the humiliation you went through with all of this.

I have been arrested too. When I went through a bad divorce 24 years ago and my ex lied on me and it was dismissed but I remember the finger printing and photo. I wasn't handcuffed. I was allowed to come in myself. That was the time he said I stole from him. The next time he broke my windshield but said he did it because I was trying to kill him with my car. That wasn't true either and was dismissed. I asked if they could use the same photo and they said no. You are loved and cared for so never forget that. I appreciate all the work you have done.

Dear Kay,

I just wanted to wish you a Happy Christmas and I hope that the New Year will bring you a sensible outcome to your charges.

It was very brave of you to share this personal info with the group and you have my admiration for that.

I hope that whatever the State decides to do in your situation is not too harsh.

I'm pretty sure that you already are aware, but just in case you are not; don't forget that Prison Talk has a huge wealth of info about the prison system and many members that have been through similar experiences. I am a moderator on that site.

Sending lots of positive thoughts your way!

Much love,

I was reading the letter you sent about the cops coming into your room. Did they arrest you and do you have to go to jail? What a horrible experience!

I just can't understand why they waited til you were laid low and powerless to come in and arrest you. They've known about you for years, why not during any of that time? This doesn't look good for their side.

Insist on full discloser. If an informer that went out into the field to obtain evidence they must disclose his name and if a cop they must expose him as such.. EP ccc-members@yahoogroups.com

Merry Christmas Kaylee!
My husband has cancer he went through surgery and Chemo plus Rad,,,,,,, it has helped him relieve pain and try to gain back 15 pounds which he has lost and still has only gained back 2 pounds. Some of these pain killers are addicting, we do not want to go there so, If God has put this plant on the earth with all the other plants, we must use it..... Of course to our discretion. We have used plants forever to cure so don't be hard on yourself. I think you're a wonderful person.
God Bless you!

Hi, they were arresting woman who were just carrying MJ, for others and putting them in prison for 10 or 20 years manatory law. They broke up homes, and destroyed familes in the name of the law. THAT WAS NYC......... There are a lot of laws that sound good on paper, but don't really serve justice.
Joan BypassSurgeryRecoverySupport@yahoogroups.com

God bless you. Keep going strong!!!!! I have no faith in the judicial system as you well know. It will soon be my son Patrick's 6th year in prison for murder he did not commit. Even the mother of the victim has contacted me to tell me that she thinks he is innocent. All I can say is, get some money saved for a good attorney. We are so broke from all of this, I had to file bankruptcy. I have never been late for a payment of any bill in my life, but my mental health caused me to miss a lot of work and also the trials of dealing with this mess caused me to go into credit card hell. My only option was bankruptcy.

We are on our third and final appeal. If this one does not work, then my son will not be eligible for parole for 19 more years. His daughter is seven years old now. My life is a living hell from the judicial system. Don't let them destroy you.

May you have a blessed Christmas.
Diana

Never think that we will cut you off or shuffle you away. We still love and need you on here. He who has done no wrongs cast the first stone. I wish i could help you out of this mess and wonder who turned you in and why they would. Their are lots of people that swear that it helps with pain better than the pain meds the doctors give them when they have terminal cancer.

Well you do know that if it was one of our dear actors or actress or congress people or athletes then it would be swept under the rug and a tap on the shoulder if even that. Hopefully they will just give you probation and let you go and then you gonna have to be careful and get someone to drive you to the country to get your depression med. lol

I do believe that the only reason it isn't legal is because the government can't control who grows or how you get it. They want their dime out of everything. The government just put out a statement that MJ was the the highest cash crop grown in the US, go figure. Hey our last president tried it, then lied and said he didn't inhale and if truth was known maybe this one did too in his younger days. I have tired it in my younger days and it didn't do much for me but make me want to go to sleep. Maybe it was the kind I smoked Columbian Gold pure stuff no trash. Don't know but had a kick.

You take care and we still want you here. If God hadn't wanted us to use it then why did he put it here? God bless ya and stay strong grandma. Yeah I am a little upset that they would do that to a sick person but they do it every day. I guess that if they lock you up then they have to take care of you 24/7, meds, doctors, food, rehab all that stuff we all have to pay for now [I know it isn't funny but that was meant as a little lighter side]. RW BypassSurgeryRecoverySupport@yahoogroups.com

PS Did you say that you wasn't taking any other meds other than the one they wouldn't let you take or are you on the blood thinners and stuff also. And if you need to talk we are here or you can e-mail me directly. every one has done things that wasn't always on the up and up.

Thank you so much for your willingness to share the secret that has been in your closet. I recently got into a situation that made it necesary for me to share the truth with my family about my fiance who was sentenced for sexual assault of a minor and is now serving a 20 yr sentence, hopefully with parole in 5.

It took almost seven years to finally bring his case to trial and by then the lawyer didn't want to do anything but plead out. When My fiance refused to be plead to something that he did not do, it went to trial and the lawyer simply rolled over and failed to produce the kind of defense he had promised some six years and $42,000 later. My dear one had never been in trouble with the law and certainly had never been accused of any inappropriate sexual behavior in the past.

I have faced so much devastation to my personal life but have suffered in silence not wanting to reveal to my family the nature of his charges because of the stereotype that is attached to a sexual offender. My three older sons took the news well and were mostly concerned for me and what I had been thru all on my own. My oldest daughter did not take it well and now had validation for why she never liked him.

I dare say that your odds will be close to the same. Those who know you enough to appreciate your work will probably be 75% on your side or at least NOT in judgement of you. Three out of four ain't bad, or at least that is what I am telling myself. At any rate, it feel good to finally be open and honest with what is going on in my life. Those who have a need to judge me on this one thing and throw out all my years of love and service to so many are obviously too narrow minded for me to try and convince of anything outside of their limited view. If it means parting ways with some it is worth the price of freedom from the need to appear perfect and without flaw. WE are all flawed by the experience of being human.

Best Wishes to you. I believe that there are NO accidents and that all of our experiences serve a valuable purpose. You will come to understand the value and purpose of this new experience that you are blessed with now. My prayers are with you in this process.

Love and Light,

You might find this link interesting Kaylee. It describes the current confusing situation in the UK.

'Is it a crime to want to be well?'

<<For six years, Mark and Lezley Gibson supplied cannabis to sufferers of multiple sclerosis. The police knew what they were doing - but turned a blind eye. Now, however, the 'Canna-Biz Two' have been convicted of dealing. They talk to Patrick Barkham Tuesday December 19, 2006 The Guardian>>

Kaylee,
This gave me chills and a feeling of outrage! How can 'they " do this to someone who has helped so many and not harmed anyone. I have a fried in PA who grows and uses it for glaucoma. I think they gave up harassing her. I wish my son would try it. He is on so many prescription pain meds that have so many bad side effects that I worry about his liver and mind. You helped me find the LOLITS to help my grandson and keep me sane.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Stay strong
Martha

Hello Bea,

If that would have happened in England Kay would have been given a police caution and waved away.

Cannabis was recently downgraded here and possession without intent to supply for the vast majority of cases is no longer an arrestable offence.

This illustrates more clearly than anything else just how far gone America has become in its priorities and moral practices. What a travesty.

Regards,
Steve.

God Bless you and keep you in this trying time. From experience I can tell you that they will pressure you into taking a "deal". I'm sure you know this. In CA they would want to put you in drug court - an 18 month program at minimum that would include testing - so why bother. Is it a misdemeanor in your state - like CA? And why the heck are they doing this if you have conformed to the law? We are having the same problem here with the feds (DEA) versus our state law.

Do you have an attorney? Seems like one would be dying to defend you and have the opportunity to make case law.

Anyway - I can't imagine anyone wanting to drop you because of this - not on this list! You haven't done anything shameful. At least you aren't taking handsful of pills like I do (diagnosed with Major Depression for most of my life - now re-diagnosed as bipolar I since using street drugs - Meth. Of course, pot always just made me overly happy, but pretty much useless, so that probably wouldn't work for me! LOL
We are rooting for you kaylee!

KAYLEE: I just wanted to say Thank you for everything and you are NOT a criminal in my eyes.

You have helped many in ways that people are just not used too in this life time. At the same time help me see more about a natural herb that is more useful to medical science then man made chemicals of today.even though because of the job I used to do I was not allowed to use it. Maybe one day :)

You open doors to people where others, close the door in there face. I send you protection and strength as you go through this and always remember that if God didn't think we couldn't handle it, well then he wouldn't be putting us through it.

May I pass along a little bit for you to use, if you like, which is in the book of Psalms. The only book in the bible that has never been rewritten but taken from the exact verses of old. I am not a religious person but spiritual one and this can be used in any denomination/church

When in danger of imprisonment:
Read Psalms 26 verse 9, 10 and 11 write it down on paper and carry it with you, repeat it often during proceedings.

Deliverance from Persecution:
Read Psalms 119 verse 81 thu 88 Quick assistance will come to the one who prays this when being harassed.

Good luck in all that you do and know truthfully that you are protected and watch over. The one word that I leave with you is BELIEVE and it will come true. We must walk in peace with ourselves against the clamour of those who do not understand.

REV. C Smith (CEA)

So.... this is the letter that went out that I didn't get......

Are ya ready....? These people do not need to understand or should they even think to pass judgment or add criticism to you!! AND any that do can kiss my ass! That, I will be very happy to tell them myself!

Now if you get in there make sure to take notes and send out your address after all can't have you in there with no mail!

Love,
Deb

KayLee,

I've known you for a long time and know of your wonderful work over the years. It saddens me greatly to hear about what happened.

People in America have been deliberately dumbed down in order to make us easier to control. Laws that are ignorant are passed because these laws serve those who desire control. It doesn't matter what the laws do to ordinary people or whether the laws are actually legal (a law is illegal if its contrary to higher laws like the Constitution). Many, many illegal laws have been passed in this country and the masses sit
on their thumbs.

Nearly everyone I've ever talked to knows that the drug war is a sham. The only ones who actually believe it should continue are people who still actually believe that Iraq had something to do with 911 and those people are rare.

The elite have a stronghold on America and until the masses rise up and refuse to believe the propaganda it will continue. Knowledge is power and that's why the elite have targeted the masses through the media. Lack of knowledge is also lack of power. Powerlessness is the state desired for the masses.

The quote you sent: "If we know the truth, we must tell it; if we don't, we must learn it!" is absolutely true. The mainstream, media-generated opinion is the one people are willing to talk about. People are willing to propagate the propaganda because it feels 'safe' in some way. Those of us who see through the propaganda feel 'unsafe' if we speak up. That's the control in action! We must speak up whether it feels safe or not. Safety is an illusion propagated for the sake of control.

We are the masses; we are the origin of the gross national product. That is our value to the elite controllers in this country. To them we are disposable, cogs in a wheel that can be replaced like a worn out part. They call us "eaters."

The problem is not with THEM, it is with US. It is our own mental prison that allows them the control. The labor movement has always had the right idea because its the producers of the gross national product who are important to the economic health of a country. That economic health buys weapons and armies to control all other nations. Without 'cogs' the machine stops running. There again comes in the fear factor (if I stop working I'll simply die!). That's a lie. People pay taxes to support a hegemonic nation of terror. There again is the fear factor (if I stop paying taxes I'll go to prison!). That's another lie.

How do we change this? Each of us needs to look beyond the lies, beyond the propaganda, beyond the media spin to the truth. If we're not willing to do that we will continue to see freedom and justice being flushed. We may see our own lives flushed in the process.

We need to show that we are not the 'eaters' we are THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. Our government is not OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE. That's a lie.

Its more comfortable to believe the lie in the short term. Are we willing to trade short-term comfort for long-term pain? This nation has been totally willing to do that for decades. We are the controlled masses and we need to be disillusioned (removal of illusion).

Kaylee

I love you no matter what. Most likely they will give you probation. I really do doubt they will put you in jail. It does not matter if pot is right or wrong, it is illegal and if you want to take a chance it is your call. If I was caught id get 25 years as a habitual offender. I do not get near it. Who cares what people think . Join the crowd of offenders, or convicts. God loves you no matter what.

Love You and Merry Christmas,

Dear Kaylee,

I'm so sorry that you are having all this crap in your life. Isn't it enough to go thru and survive heart surgery? And all that your daughter is going thru too. I do hope that she is doing well and you too. Just hearing from you is a relief! I don't judge you....in fact I support you AND your decision for your medicine, marijuana. I suffer from migraines and take a med prescribed by my doctor for it. I cant' afford the meds that work better and do NOT cause nausea. So as a result of the nausea, I turn to pot. I actually cannot afford pot either, so I have a friend who gives me a little here and there. I save it and use it sparingly.....but damn it, it works!

It's like a secret that no one knows. If people did know, I would probably lose my job. When the day comes....(and I do believe it's coming to this), and they (my job) feel they have the right to drug test everyone, then I will lose my job. I have a feeling that there are going to be a whole lot of people who will. If there's anything I can do to support you just let me know....I have no idea what that might me, but I'm putting it out there. The price of freedom is huge but always worth it to me. Take care and be strong! love, Sandy/VT

PS Does J4J have T-shirts or anything like that we could could buy?? I just got done checking out their website, which I didn't realize was up and running. It's is fantastic! I love all the pictures. Good luck with your court case, Sandy from Lostangels Today's prisoners are tomorrow's neighbors
