Ask the Federal Government to Stop Prosecuting Employees of Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in Michigan.

On Nov. 8th myself and two other employees of the UPCA or Upper Peninsula Caregivers Association were sentenced to 12, 18, and 30 months in Federal Prison in our role as conspirators in a illegal drug conspiracy. Each of us was merely an employee of the UPCA and were told by the head of the Co-op and his lawyer we were in compliance with the law in Michigan and even permitted by the city in some cases. Even though the head of the Co-op (Spencer Ward) wasnt being honest with his employees, we still have been charged and sentenced to his crimes. I believe this is a major injustice and needs to be remedied immediately. I know of many other cases in the State of Michigan and would ask for the commutation or pardon of all employees of dispensaries/Co-ops who were believed to be in compliance.
