Robert Duncan was an authorized farmer of medical marijuana in Northern California. Duncan was persecuted unreasonably for growing medical marijuana in a legalized state.The federal law states that marijuana is illegal, however, in select states it is considered legal.His home was raided by the federal government, and Duncan was sentenced to two years in prison. It is unjust that state and government laws conflict with each other and allow these circumstances to occur. This federal law must be updated, or this country will forever remain a hypocrisy. Lets start by signing this petition to free an innocent man.
The spike in momentum has prompted a response from a regional legal advocacy group interested in our position on federal overreach. I am currently drafting a formal letter for their review to outline the inconsistencies in how these cases are processed.

This is total garbage. The guy followed state law and still got locked up. Total waste of taxpayer money when he was just growing a plant.

perhaps you should be more open minded and learn the facts and benefits of marijuana usage. We live in a country which was built on change and democracy maybe through activism the federal government will look into changing these outdated laws.
