When I read this article in the November 16, 2017 issue of the Phoenix Times the first thing I thought about was marijuana criminal defense lawyer Tom Dean.
In the article DEA Special Agent Erica Curry makes the false and ridiculous statement that Marijuana has “a potential for abuse and there is no recognized, safe, and effective medical use”Marijuana criminal defense attorney Tom Dean made a similar ridiculous statement and has claimed that the Safer Arizona initiative to legalize marijuana in 2018 is one of the best marijuana initiatives in the country. Personally I think that's a lot of rubbish, and just as false. Mickey Jones, Alex Gentry and Sergeant David Stephen Wisniewski wrote the initiative version of the Safer Arizona initiative. It was based on the RAD or Relegalize All Drugs initiative to legalize marijuana, which is probably the BEST initiative to legalize marijuana in the USA. The RAD initiative is 100% complete total legalization of marijuana, and forbids the government from passing any laws that regulate marijuana, taxing marijuana or doing anything to interfere with marijuana use. The Safer Arizona initiative was pretty much the same as the RAD initiative except we added three restrictions:
My understanding was that marijuana criminal defense attorney Tom Dean was supposed to check the initiative and make sure it was legally sound. In my opinion instead of checking the initiative to make sure it was legally sound, Tom Dean gutted the initiative and turned it into a horrible initiative which doesn't completely legalize marijuana, and is an initiative that the marijuana criminal defense lawyers would love. And an initiative that the legal medical marijuana cartel would love. My personal opinion is that Tom Dean sold out the marijuana community. Mickey Jones was kicked off of the Safer Arizona board of directors for complaining that Tom Dean was turning the Safer Arizona initiative into a mini-version of the evil Prop 205 written by MPP or the Marijuana Policy Project. Here is some of the horrible stuff Tom Dean added to the Safer Arizona initiative: |
