Mr. President

Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to you because I believe that you are the honest and
intelligent person that I voted for. I am a supporter of Cannabis law
reform. I am also concerned with the safety of people who acquire
marijuana legally through the states that have passed compassion laws.
Yesterday Charles C. Lynch was given a federal prison sentence. This
American citizen was following the laws of his state providing Medical
Cannabis. I do not agree with the enormous efforts put forth to
imprison non violent Americans for cannabis. Cannabis is not meth,
crack/cocaine or heroin. Please issue an executive order to remove
federal penalties for medical cannabis, pardon Charles Lynch and
remove cannabis from the list of schedule I narcotics. The main reason
for doing this is that “it’s the right thing to do”. As a retired
Federal corrections employee, Navy Veteran and state corrections
officer I have seen war, violence and death. I saw one of our
embassies blown up first hand while deployed over seas, I’ve seen
grown men curl up and cry in pain from drug addiction. Sir, I have
never seen or heard of a marijuana addict or overdose anywhere in the
world. In this new age of reason and world leadership America is
taking we should not be committing our citizens to unnecessary prison
terms and branding them as criminals. As evidenced by the sentencing
of Charles C. Lynch for cannabis crimes it appears the Federal
Government is still at war with the American people and insist on
asserting authority over states.
Very respectfully,
Charles Johnson, USDOJ Retired / ABF2 (EAWS) USN
