I was in US Federal Prison with Brother Louv and several of his followers from the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church in the 1980’s. We had all been convicted of marijuana offenses…separate cases.
While in prison together, I read hundreds of pages of the transcript from his trial. Many are available on the web today.
His defense team was headed by former US Attorney General, Ramsey Clark. The panel of ‘expert witnesses’ presented in his defense included the foremost authorities in medicine of that era. The overwhelming amount of evidence documenting the medicinal benefits of marijuana was staggering.
And, that was in the early 1980’s. Now, fully 30 years later, the same lame arguments are still being paraded.
