An outrageous targeting of Dr. Frankel, a medical marijuana physician is currently taking place, not due to his work or the quality of his recommendations for marijuana pursuant to California law, but for his own admitted use of cannabis.

Now, why would a seriously injured California physician be any less entitled to medical marijuana than any other individual?   We have to speak up and do something about the new pogroms, the victimization of marijuana patients.  Remember the old canard about “then they came for me?”…. (warning Goodwin’s Law Alert)….

Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) is the guy to whom this bit of wisdom is attributed, about German Intellectuals and their the inactivity during the Nazi rise to power

They came first for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
