The scariest part of the plea game is that there are no court records, right to appeal and/or transparency/accountability among the officers of the court (aka lawyers).
Then again on the rare instance a client can afford a trial following the NORML 5-10k plea game, those lost cases have cost every patient and caregiver their rights under MMMA as that case law has simply nullified any reasonable reading of MMMA in a court of law. In People v Brown we lost our 4th Amendment rights and in People v Curruthers lost our rights to extracts, the list goes on ...
No one has profited more from MMMA than these lawyers and they've taken no personal risk to boot. Something needs to change ASAP, especially with them moving on with their now codified (MMFLA) business clients.
