Many of you know me….

In 1999 myself, and my former wife Dr. Marion “Mollie” Fry started the California Medical Research Center, in Cool California, to help patients across the state to obtain a medical cannabis recommendation under California’s Prop 215.

In 2001, after acquiring over 5,000 patients, testifying on behalf of legal patients across the State and throwing my hat in the ring for El Dorado County District Attorney, our home and office were raided by the DEA.

I have provided some references for you:

In 2005, after years of sifting through the seized evidence (from our home and office) and rulings on several important cases, such as US vs.The Oakland Cannabis Buyers Coop and Gonzalez vs. Raich, Mollie and I were arrested by the Federal Government.

In 2008, after a long trial and unfortunate conviction, Mollie and I were given a 5-year minimum mandatory sentence in federal prison.

In 2011 we entered the federal prison system in order to serve our mandated prison sentence

Since My Release

Since my release, from federal prison, I have been spending my time speaking, on behalf of Prisoners Of The Drug War (POW’s), getting reacquainted with friends and family, awaiting my release from federal probation, and learning the complex MAUCRSA Regulations so that I could re-open my law practice and begin assisting cannabis business owners in obtaining their state and local permits as soon as I was released from federal probation.

Free At Last…..

On November 29, 2017 I, through my attorney Omar Figeroa, was notified that I had been released from federal probation and was free to re-open my law practice immediately.

Over the weekend of December 9th – 10th I attended the 2017 Emerald Cup to celebrate with my friends and hand out business cards to those who may be seeking a local and state cannabis permit to operate after January 1, 2018.
