Patients on the scene recorded the encounter on video, which has been seized
by the state police. Nieves, a former Army counter-narcotics specialist,
told Russ Belville of the NORML Stash Blog that the trooper "got much more polite" once Nieves
identified himself as a former soldier, but stonewalled when Nieves pointed
to the actual law allowing the grower to be in possession of that pipe.
Nieves reports that the trooper also denied requests for the video and the
state police are giving him the runaround regarding the paperwork needed to
recover the video.
Elvy reported that the police took
her ID and her prescription and summoned her to court on October 5th. [UPDATE: Elvy has since recovered all of her stuff. No word yet on the others, or the video that was shot, et al.] An AP
reporter was already working on a story about Elvy and in the process of
getting the return of Elvy's prescription and ID, they learned that the
state troopers were being ordered by the federal Department of Justice to
engage in these seizures from state-legal patients.

Federal Medical Cannabis Patient Hassled by Local Yokels in Oregon
| Early Thursday morning (9/15/11), Oregon State Police detained Elvy Musikka, one of
four remaining federal - yes, FEDERAL - medical marijuana patients, along with other state
medical marijuana registry cardholders following a town hall meeting on
medical marijuana in the eastern Oregon / Idaho border town of Ontario.
According to Joey Nieves, clinic manager at 45th Parallel, a medical
marijuana cardholders co-operative, a state trooper had staked out the co-op
to harass cardholders as they left the building. Members of the co-op were
detained by the trooper who issued citations, including a $1,000 ticket for
"residue" to a grower whose patient had left behind an empty pipe.

Tell Your Representatives to Co-Sponsor HR 2306: The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011
For the first time since 1937, lawmakers have introduced a bill into the House of Representatives to end federal marijuana prohibition.
Over the past 70+ years, the federal criminalization of marijuana has:
1) Failed to reduce the public’s demand for or access to cannabis.
2) Imposed enormous fiscal and human costs upon the American people.
3) Promoted disrespect for the law.
4) Reinforced ethnic and generational divides between the public and law enforcement.
After seven decades of failure, it is time for an alternative approach. Use the form below to contact your elected officials and encourage them to stand up for state's rights and personal freedoms by co-sponsoring HR 2306: The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011.

Support the States' Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act
Federal lawmakers have reintroduced legislation to provide for additional and necessary legal protections for state-authorized medical marijuana patients.
House Bill 1983, the States' Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act, would ensure that medical cannabis patients in states that have approved its use will no longer have to fear arrest or prosecution from federal law enforcement agencies. It states, “No provision of the Controlled Substances Act shall prohibit or otherwise restrict in a State in which marijuana may be prescribed or recommended by a physician for medical use under applicable State law.”
The measure also calls for an expedited rescheduling review by the federal government that would reclassify cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the federal Controlled Substances Act,
recognizing the plant's accepted medical use and streamlining the federal approval process for medical marijuana research.
