Dear ASA Activists,

We’ve got big news.

On Wednesday, July 23rd at 10am, the federal trial of Charles Lynch officially begins. We need everyone in the area to show their support by attending the trial - and we have inside word that you will not be disappointed.

Lynch was the Morro Bay owner of a licensed medical cannabis collective that was fully supported by local officials and did wonders to help patients in the community. On March 29, 2007, Lynch was violently raided by the DEA. Lynch was not arrested, and later reopened with the blessing of the landlord and city officials. However, DEA threatened to seize the property and arrest Lynch’s landlord if he was not evicted. The collective was closed on May 16, 2007, and on July 17, 2007 federal agents and the local sheriff arrested Lynch and charged him with a series of federal crimes.

Now Charles Lynch is standing trial, and the Federal Government has blocked the jury from knowing that his business was allowed by California State Law and sanctioned by the City of Morro Bay. He’s being portrayed as a large scale drug kingpin, and no evidence is allowed to mention that he was growing cannabis for medical reasons.

ASA has inside word that the opening statements to the trial will be explosive, and we anticipate that it could have a major impact on similar cases. If you’re in the greater L.A. area, do whatever you can to get out to the trial and show your support. And please remember to be respectful and not to address the Jury in any way, as that will only hurt Mr. Lynch.

The trial will be held at 10am Wednesday, July 23:
U.S. District Court
Courtroom 10 – Judge Woo
312 North Spring Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012

Come out to show your firm opposition to a grave injustice.
