Thank you for this one. i've met and talked with Eddy. My recommendation was filled the first few years at his house. I saw his huge plants up close and talked to him about them as well. he's a amazing man. It was a sad day when the feds busted Eddy this last time. 30000 plants was a huge undertaking but no one ever said Eddy did things in a small way.lol

Eddy Lepp Sentencing February 23, 2009

The Reverend Charles Eddy Lepp's sentencing has been rescheduled to February 23, 2009.

Soooo, how is eddy? People like eddy do not need jail time at $45,000 a year at taxpayers expense. Just think,
10 eddy's at $45,000 a person cost taxpayers $450,000 a year.
100 Eddy's cost taxpayers $4.5 million dollars a year.
1000 Eddy's cost $45 million a year.
10,000 Eddy's cost $450 Million a year.
100,000 Eddy's cost taxpayers 4.5 billion dollars a year.

Currently there are over 400,000 people in USA jails for drugs...Now thats $18billion dollars a year. If you multiply that number by the average sentence (4 years), it cost us taxpayers $72 billion. Yup its not a trillion dollars, but you figure inflation over the next 10 year, and were over a trillion dollars.

Where eddy left off, there are 300 soldiers to replace him. When those 300 soldiers are in jail, there will be 90000 behind them.

Want to fight a war....fight a war on smog....oh, not as easy as you think...yup...impossible.




It is becoming easier for the average citizen to see our drug laws have been screwed up since the marijuana tax stamp of the 1930's.
 
With this happening on the same day - U.S. Supreme Court Affirms California's Medical Marijuana Law how can this be reconciled? This is wrong and I'm angry. This must not stand. People have brought up civil disobedience in the past and I've said not yet. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it is time. Maybe short of civil disobedience we could flood obama again like we did before. We Need To Do Something!

End Mandatory Minimums


Charles “Eddy” Lepp Sentenced To 10 Years

A Lake County man who pushed the boundaries of medical marijuana laws by growing more than 20,000 pot plants in plain view was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison.

U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Patel ordered Charles “Eddy” Lepp, 56, to turn himself in to federal authorities July 6, said U.S. Attorney Dave Hall.

Lepp was convicted last year of conspiracy to possess marijuana with the intent to distribute more than 1,000 pot plants and of cultivating more than 1,000 plants.

Ten years was the minimum mandatory sentence, Hall said.

Lepp’s attorneys had argued that Lepp should not go to prison because he is in poor health.

Lepp also will be subject to five years of supervised release following his prison sentence, Hall said.

Lepp has said he will appeal last year’s conviction. He claims he is entitled to use pot for religious and medical reasons, but was not allowed to use those claims during his federal trial. Federal authorities do not recognize medical marijuana.

Lepp’s conviction stems from a 2004 raid on his Upper Lake pot operation, where authorities said they seized about 25,000 plants. Lepp has said the number of plants was higher.

High Times magazine, a publication focused on marijuana production and laws, said it was the single largest crop of medical pot seized in the United States. The plants were grown in neat rows in plain view of Highway 20 and next door to a strawberry field.

Investigators estimated the crop could have been worth more than $80 million had they been allowed to mature.

A thought to remember

This past week Eddy Lepp has served two years of his ten year sentence. This in itself is a fu##ing crime. I vote we should impeach Obama and stick his lying ass into Lompoc to feel like a real criminal that he is. RD :peace::peace::peace:
