"Trevino got more time in prison than a white man from Canada mailing Marijuana seeds."  - Richard Clement 420 Jobs Coalition member

Hello people. In case you haven't heard, I was sentenced to 15 years and eight months in prison for medical marijuana. This post may be a little lengthy but it's good and it's needed. Please read...

Please keep in mind the charges were only from hydroworld operations in which most of these charges were one in state court but the victories in State Court mean nothing in federal court. Just a reminder to marijuana business owners. The state license to own a marijuana business hold absolutely zero protection. If you're counting section 538 of the Rider  bill (Rorhabacher-Farr)it only protects medical marijuana. Not recreational marijuana. If you're wondering why my sense is so high then please read this...

The bulk of my sentence comes from the amount of marijuana. I was convicted on in my case because we kept winning and State Court we were comfortable in believing we were compliant so we stayed open second because the feds chose to pick up the case years later,(according to my paperwork). 

Daniel Dario Trevino  #GirlDad 

The amount of marijuana weighed increased not sure why the feds allowed us to stay open for so long. During the trial I was convicted of 1000kg from 2010 through 2016. Here's how the sentencing Works federally. My amount was reduced to 400 kg instead of 1000kg so in the federal system sensing system my base amount of 400 kilograms landed me at level 26 (63 to 78 months) in prison to start. Next, because it was my business my base level was increased by four levels. This increase is called "an organized or leader of criminal activity"(I was the boss of 3 or more people. We all file taxes and for a while we had payroll so it was hard to argue that fact,  but it raise my base offense level was increased from 26 to 30 (97 to 121 months) in prison. Next my base offense levels were were increased again. 

Because I rented building for the purpose of marijuana maintaining a drug establishment. My base offense level was increased two more points putting my offense level at a 32 (121 to 151 months) in prison. Next my base offense level was raised two more points to the criminal livelihood enhancement basically this means if I had more than minimum wage for over 6 months (if I remember correctly) then I am to receive a 2-point enhancement which now puts me out of base level of 3451 to 188 months. The IRS told me how to file as a marijuana business so I did and this constitutes criminal livelihood. Next my criminal history record takes place to add more time. 19 years ago I was pulled over with 93 grams of marijuana and because of this, my time as a criminal history category 1, which my sentence didn't increase yet but eighteen years ago I was pulled over with two and a half pounds of marijuana which now put my criminal history points to category 2 (168 to 210 months) in prison. Last but not least my drunk driving from 2012 (super drunk) put me in a criminal history 3  (388 to 235 months) in prison. So to all you marijuana business... men or women... just know all the feds have to do to charge you is say you are federally illegal and that's it. 

Recreational marijuana dispensaries have absolutely no protection. And the medical marijuana defenses are barred in federal court in the jurors are instructed to not regard any medical marijuana defense. Oh yeah, just so you know, during sentencing your money or records of money are converted to marijuana by dividing the cash amount by the price per gram determined by them. My cash amounts were converted to grams of marijuana by dividing the cash associated with hydroworld  throughout  the years by dividing the cash by $11 per gram.

So to all your marijuana business owners, Growers, buses, managers Etc... Keep this in mind. If you are owning a marijuana business and renting a building for distribution or growing you will be "maintaining a drug establishment" and if you hire staff you will be the leader or "organizer of criminal activity" and if your business is successful you have you will have achieved "criminal livelihood" and all this can be proved by your taxes, your lease, and your business standing LLC.

Also, the feds can choose to wait to prosecute you so your marijuana quality quantity will increase and even if you won your money back in state forfeiture Court proceedings and your money was returned to you every time, the feds still convert your returned forfeiture cash into marijuana grams. Also keep in mind that every cash into Marijuana grams. Also keep in mind that every plant is counted as 100 grams of marijuana even if the plant is 3 inches tall. If I were to have been charged in 2010, when my conspiracy started (according to my paperwork) I would have only faced 4 years.

Thank you for reading this and please do me a favor and SHARE  this message!

USA v Daniel Dario Trevino - Injustice and the need for Weed Equity in Michigan

By Richard Clement 

While the State of Michigan is granting recreational licenses for Marijuana to others, one of our citizens is in jail awaiting sentencing in a federal court for up to 20 years for doing the same thing. Daniel Trevino will be sentenced under federal guidelines for a "crime" that is making cities like Ann Arbor and Evart up to $200,000 a day.  Yet there is no outcry for justice from some in the Marijuana community. As a matter of fact, some of them support the federal governments efforts to keep Mr. Trevino in jail. This is highlight film for social equity efforts because Lansing Michigan is one of the cities on the list for social equity relief to victims of the war on drugs.

Pot Prisoner Daniel Dario Trevino

On August 23, 2019 Danny Trevino was found guilty by a jury of his "peers" in Federal Court in Grand Rapids Michigan on 10 counts of:

• Maintaining a Drug-Involved Premises, 
• Conspiracy to manufacture, distribute, and possess with the intent to sell marijuana. 

Mr. Trevino was convicted of possessing 100 or more plants at a business by the name of Hydro-World in Lansing and Jackson Michigan. Mr. Trevino was operating under state law as defined by the passing of Medical Marijuana in 2008. During that time he was harassed and raided 11 times while other businesses were doing business and making money in the marijuana industry. 

#FreeDannyTrevino

This racist policy enforced by Attorney General Bill Schuette and 1st ward Lansing City Council-member Jodi Washington targeted mostly minority business owners and, others who did not have the capital assets to stay in business in 2010 under the Snyder administration. On January 28th, 2020 Mr. Trevino will be sentenced to a term of between 262 to 327 months in federal prison while the state of Michigan grants licenses to new business owners in Ann Arbor, and other cities to do the same thing that Danny was doing in Michigan.   

Where is the screaming about States Rights from the Cannabis Community? 

What can you do to help Danny? 

Between now and January 28th 2020, contact the judge and request that he ignores the guidelines of the US sentencing commission and, recommend that be sentenced to time served. Furthermore, that Mr. Trevino be allowed to apply for a business license under Michigan's social equity program for Marijuana entrepreneurs.

Contact your federal elected officials in Michigan and the President of the United States to commute the sentence because, the people have spoke with their vote to free the weed for the jobs they want and, the jobs we need.  The people support the manufacturing products from the Cannabis plant to create jobs in industries like concrete manufacturing (hemp-crete), clothes, fuel, and other byproducts of the cannabis plant. 

Danny Kisses his Daughter Goodbye

To allow this man to go to prison while others make millions is an intolerable injustice. This man must be released and, any elected official that supports this injustice shall be removed by a vote of the people on election day in August and November of 2020.

Make all pot haters pay on election day!

The Opioid Crisis Is Not Caused By Black Pharmacists Writing Prescriptions. End Digital Profiling NOW!

Hey DEA!
Pharmacists are not the cause of the
Opioid Crisis
They are the cure for it!!

Would You Go To An Attorney to Fill Your Prescription from Your Doctor? The DEA Says Yes!

SINCE WHEN IS THE JOB OR THE ROLE  OF LAW ENFORCEMENT (DEA) TO DICTATE AND DEFINE MEDICAL / PHARMACEUTICAL PROCEDURES AND PROTOCOLS.

This past Saturday, October 12, 2019, I was on the Campus of Florida A&M University celebrating the homegoing of one of the greatest Professors of Pharmacy known throughout the world  Leonard Inge.  A simple poor  kid,  youngest of 13 siblings, from Pritchard Al., who served as President of The National Pharmacist Association, 12 years Florida Board of Pharmacy, 34 years Florida A&M University College of Pharmacy (and I could go on and on an never complete this e-mail)  where his specialty was teaching Pharmacy Law and Compounding. 

I was trained by one of the greatest Professors and Iv’e been  practicing pharmacy the same way, using the same concepts, methodology, the same procedures and techniques in Pharmaceutical Compounding as taught to me at Florida A&M University for over 45 years.  Our continuing education on  Compounding Pharmaceuticals (from various sources) mirrors that which was taught to me at Florida A&M by Leonard Inge and other Professors.

So I asked my self what has changed?? The answer points to one very questionable and dangerous practice LAW ENFORCEMENT has intruded into defining medical procedures and protocols.  We see this in the so-called Opioid Crisis, the idea OPIOID medications. are cannot be use for chronic pain are simply not true and is misleading. Further the idea these medications are not to be used in combination with other medications such those use to relieve anxiety (benzodiazopines) , mood disorders or sleep are further in error. 

Opioid medications when prescribed and used for long term chronic pain will result in dependency, therefore it becomes the role of the Pharmacist to ensure the patient who is being treated for chronic pain on how to use of this class medications correctly to ensure their safety. 

For example, Oxycodone is a very effective medication for treating chronic pain when used and taken at a therapeutic dose. Oxycodone, is effective against most chronic pain generated from the central nervous system. However as with any medication used to treat a chronic condition in order to sustain life the patient may become permanently dependent on theses classes of drug for the rest of their life. 

 These medications are safe when used correctly and like any medications control or non control when taken beyond their therapeutic doses are dangerous and may result in death. The literature more than clearly show death due to drug toxicity will likely occur when prescription opioid are taken beyond its therapeutic amounts or commitant  use with alcohol, other, substances meds. Most importantly, to this date unless in the case of extreme anaphylaxis, there is no case in the literature when any individual has succumbed to death when given a therapeutic dose of a medically prescribed Opioid. 

However, Law Enforcement (DEA, United States Attorney DOJ) in order to seek greater power or authority "stigmatized the disease and traumatizes the afflicted" (e.g. Sangu Delle) they have used heavy handed techniques to target Physicians, Pharmacists, Nurses, Drug wholesalers particular African America and other minorities in this manufactured medical Opioid Crisis Epidemic to promote their funding. In fact DEA is the single most government agency who tactics have the increase cost of medication and healthcare all across America by mis-interpreting purpose and roles of medications needed to treat acute, chronic, neuropathic and psychological, pain. Law Enforcement (DEA, United States Attorney DOJ) have engaged campaign of disinformation to sway the public to a point of that these medications are in deed drugs, dangerous drugs who dosages are red flags indicating abuse and trafficking contributing to the Opiod crisis around America.

When, I was on my way back to the United States leaving Johannesburg  on Air France flying to Paris, and I came across TED.com lectures  and became fascinated, enthralled specifically with the lecture of a Nigerian Professor Sangu Delle concerning Mental health in-which he says “…when it comes to mental illness our ignorance eviscerates  our empathy,”  Professor Delle elaborated, Dans Une etude realisee par Arbole Flores ( in a study done by Arboleda-Flores), when directly  asking people about the causes of mental illness the result were staggeringly sad;

  1. 34%  Cited drug misuse

  2. 19%  Cited divine raft of will of God

  3. 12%  Cited witchcraft and spiritual possession

Professor Delle summarizes, mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and our social well being most people simply ignore or fail to understand causes of Mental illness which include, genetics, Social economics status, Wars and conflicts, or the loss of a loved one. Professor Delle emphasizes, “we must stop stigmatizing the disease and traumatize the afflicted.”

Obituary of Mrs. L. Bennett, THEE Urban Farmer of Detroit Michigan 1923-2019

Obituary for Mrs. Luella Bennett 

Luella (Johnson) Bennet was born on January 8, 1923 in Uniontown Alabama to Jule and Aran (Dickens) Johnson. Luella professed her faith in Jesus Christ at an early age with the teachings of her beloved grandmother, Elvira Johnson. Luella attended Perry County Training School in Uniontown Alabama.

Her nickname was “Sis” and along with her big brother David and her baby brother Tucker, they would hunt fish and play in their little corner of Uniontown knows as “Johnson Quarters”.

Luella met and married Joe Cleveland Bennett of Uniontown in 1943. They were introduced by her future sister-in-law, Gertrude. They would move to Highland Park, Michigan in 1944 where she took a job at the Chrysler plant installing brake shoes.

Luella decided to leave Chrysler to focus on raising her children. Joe and Luella settle in Detroit on San Juan Dr. in 1960, where they raised their six children.

Luella attended New Providence Baptist Church in Detroit under the leadership Rev. Solomon and sang in the Gospel Choir. She loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and she would often say…. “I bought with me from Alabama my Jesus and southern hospitality”.

Luella was a devoted wife and mother. She took pride in whatever she did, whether it was her vegetable garden or the flowers she planted.

She was “Thee Original Urban Farmer” and was a self-taught seamstress and was also known for her down-home cooking (fried chicken). Luella and Joe passed on their work ethics to their children.

Luella quietly departed this life the night of Wednesday, August 21, 2019 at Sinai-Grace Hospital in Detroit. She was preceded in death by her husband Joe, (1979), daughter Eula, her firstborn (1943), brother Tucker (1942) and brother, David (1999).

Richard Bennett and Associates

Luella leaves to cherish and carry on her legacy children Joanne, Richard (Teri), Gregory, Flora, Betty and John; Grandchildren Garret and Joane; nieces and nephews in Detroit, Huntsville, and Seattle. Cousins in Middletown, Uniontown, and Fort Wayne.

Luella’s influence will forever remain in the lives of all who knew her.

"I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, thought he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosever liveth and believeth in me shall never die”

-John 11:25 – 26

Friends of Cushingberry Statement:

We mourn the passing of Mrs. Luella Bennett of Detroit Michigan on Wednesday August 21st, 2019. She was 96 years old and a  8 Mile legend of urban farming.

.

Richard Twice is Double Nice....
Richard Clement and Richard Bennett....

She was known around the neighborhood as the original urban farmer of Detroit Michigan. Mrs. Bennett could put a whupping on ANY agribusiness, farmer, or anybody else who thought they could grow anything! She had the best farm in the city protected by a dog name Duke since 1962. She had no need to go to a grocery store for anything but milk, meat and, washing detergent.  She will be missed and the ancestors have gained another urban farmer.

GITCHO Vote On in August and November 2019 to Get Ready in 2020

By Friends of Cushingberry 

"2019 Elections in Highland Park, Warren, Lansing and, Hamtramck are serving as benchmarks for the 2020 Primary and General election."

On Tuesday, August 6th, 2017 and, Tuesday November 5th, 2017, local elections will be held in many cities in the State of Michigan. Cities such as Highland Park, Lansing, Hamtramck, and others will be hosting primary elections for positions of Mayor, City Clerk, and Council seats.This is also the first election where same day voting rights are in full effect.

Therefore if you want vote on Tuesday, you are required to go to the Secretary of State's office FIRST, then drive back to your precinct to cast your ballot. By requiring a person to drive to a Secretary of State's office may be construed as a form of voter suppression.  SOS branch offices may have to have ballots at the branch to accommodate same day voters or, voters need to have the ability to register to vote at the precinct then cast their ballot.

Lt. Gov Gilcrest says
There will be no hidden figures in Voting or Census 2020 counting. 

To solve this problem City, and County clerks must have tablets at voting precincts to allow people to register and cast their ballots, instead of travelling to a Secretary of State's office that closes at 8pm. In November of 2018 the voters wanted government that worked FOR the people. The people elected Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to make government more responsive to the people..

Under the leadership of Lt. Governor Garlin Gilcrest this small detail in the same day voter registration process will be addressed and solved with the use of technology. Lt. Gov Gilcrest currently serves as the highest ranking Information Technology professional in State Government. Innovations in voter registration and coordinating 2020 census data collection will have the backing of the executive office and legal protection by Attorney General Dana Nessel.  

No Voter Left Behind!
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson says let my people vote!

If your city is holding an election on August 6th, get your ballot now from your City Clerk or, be a test case for same day voting on primary and general election days in 2019. Now you really don't have an excuse NOT to vote. If you believe in a cause and want your voice to be heard, just show up and vote.  Foreign and domestic voting influencing is in full effect from Russia to Lansing and it will not stop. Facial recognition and deep-fake technology will be out to confuse the voters. The only way to combat this is to read and research a candidate and find out who is backing them, what are they priority issues, and prior performance. You can't be a person that was against Marijuana legalization and, show up months later to say that you support it. 

This goes for D.I.N.O. Democrats(Democrats In Name Only) and others who have betrayed the public trust. Change is needed in the City of Lansing and the person to get the job done is Scott Hughes in Ward 1.  The City of Highland Park has the opportunity to opt-into Marijuana legalization on their ballot. A YES vote will allow the city to fix roads, open schools, and pay for a public school systems that was ravaged by looters and con men in the form of Emergency Management.

Yes people, 2019 is one year away from 2020 and, the time to practice your voting power is NOW!

Answering the Question on the 2020 Census is a Multiple Choice One

By Friends of George Cushingberry Jr.

The fight over adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census has a solution. Any person answering the census must be given a choice. The right to refuse to answer a question for fear of retaliation is a valid one. The bureau is required to count all responses by law. If an executive order from President Donald Trump is given to place the question on the form, the bureau is required to give a person the following answer choices.

1. Question:  Are you a Citizen of the United States of America? 
2. Answer:   (1)Yes    (2)No   (3)Choose not to answer.

The census is a count of people and, all responses(1,2, and 3) must be counted. This includes people incarcerated in any local, state, or federal prison. Legislative districts are drawn by the number of people in a geographic area regardless of citizenship. The question then becomes another column on a spreadsheet. 

The hope is that elected leaders like Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilcrest and others like him could be better utilized to end the confusion of the census and, get people working on real issues, like printing the correct address of the Detroit Regional Office on the Census Bureau website instead of being obstructionists. 

Lt. Gov Garlin Gilcrest
There Will be NO hidden figures in the 2020 Census

Since the inception of the census in 1990 former census employees like Herman Hollerith often quit these jobs and form their own company like IBM.  Counting people and predicting population shifts has become easier through the use of technology.  For instance, using the number of new service requests from utility companies, tax filings, and other data, large increases or decreases in population are monitored for use. The counting of people has evolved from counting them with punch cards to near real time counting of all citizens. 

Wikipedia: Herman Hollerith - Gov Employee to Founder of IBM

Therefore, the entire citizenship question is a jobs program for information technology professionals and, a complete waste of Private, State and Federal Government Attorney’s time, talent, and abilities. We are glad that leaders like Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel getting the Attorneys out of the Information Technology business. 

Dana Nessel
Michigan Attorney General 

Others Attorneys at the Federal Level need to take her lead in this effort serve, not hinder the people with the under-utilization of legal professionals and the abuse of Judges hearing case arguments to do the same.
