📸: @theblacklistxyz ・ Because he was a previous felon for a weed conviction, he didn’t qualify to be a medical provider – The former owner of medical-marijuana dispensaries in several Michigan cities was sentenced Tuesday, Jan. 28, to nearly 16 years in federal prison. - - Danny Trevino, 47, of Lansing, who had Hydroworld dispensaries in Grand Rapids, Flint, Jackson, Lansing and elsewhere, had avoided state criminal and civil penalties over the years but was convicted of multiple federal charges. “States are changing marijuana laws across the country, certainly that’s true, but federal law has not changed,” U.S. District Judge Paul Maloney said. He said it was difficult to reconcile what he called a harsh sentence in a state where marijuana is legal. He and others think Trevino was targeted because he is Hispanic. “This was totally racist,” a woman said, leaving the courthouse. “None of the (other dispensaries) ever get raided.” Trevino, who has operated dispensaries since 2010, was convicted in an August jury trial of 10 felony charges, including conspiracy to manufacture, distribute and possess marijuana and maintaining a drug-involved premises. He was not allowed to use the state’s medical-marijuana law as a defense to the federal charges. Nonetheless, the government said, he acted outside of the boundaries of the state medical-marijuana law. Defense attorney Nicholas Bostic called that a “fallacy.” Source @mlivenews #michigan #federalreform #topshelf #topshelflife #hash #rosin #wedontsmokethesame #solventless #colorsofcannabis #highlife #frostynugs #dabdaily #dabs #420 #cannabis #cannabiscommunity #cannabisphotography #cannabisculture #cannabisphotographer #weedphotography #weedphotographer #growyourown #knowyourgrower #macro #420tv #nugmag #nugmagazine https://www.instagram.com/p/B8CN4vKH7bB/?igshid=ml1rxtm4jxxx
