Ep 117 - Robert Cartee - Cannabis for Inflammation & Refusing to Deal

While living in California Robert Cartee & his wife discovered different varieties of cannabis worked better to treat their ailments than any prescription drugs they'd tried.  Tired of living on top of other people in Cali Robert & Tracey moved to rural Georgia and built their dream home.  Cannabis was & is still illegal in Georgia so Robert had a room built in their new home where their medicine could be grown inconspicuously.  About 2 years ago a deputy arrived at their home wanting to search the property for illegal drugs, and when the Cartees declined to subject themselves to an unreasonable search, the deputy made a call to a local judge.  Within minutes he had a warrant and their home was surrounded by deputies & SWAT team members.  Despite only growing a dozen plants, the Cartees were charged with intent to distribute & were facing decades in jail.  Despite tremendous pressure to accept a plea bargain, the Cartees and their attorney, the indomitable Catherine Bernard, refused to plead.  They filed a motion to suppress & recently had all charges dismissed.  

Listen in as Robert & I discuss his case in more detail & examine the injustices of the criminal justice system.
