what happens to sick people just wanting a better medicine is just horrid. But Michelle hadn’t waited on the law to pass to choose cannabis to relieve her suffering. She had been making cannabis tinctures and butters for some time. Unfortunately for Michelle, one day last September her 1.5 pound shipment of cannabis from a California grower got sniffed out by a drug dog and Chicago police were waiting as she picked it up at her UPS box. When she got back to her apartment, the cops followed, raided and tossed her apartment, and hauled her out in handcuffs as her 14-year-old daughter cried in fear. After friends raised $1,000 to bail her out, Michelle found her landlord had given her a 30-day eviction notice and the police had seized her car. Now to add insult to injury, the law that Michelle fought so hard for leaves her a criminal if she uses cannabis medically. Illinois’ medical marijuana law excludes anyone from getting a card if he or she has “a violation of a state or federal controlled substance law that was classified as a felony in the jurisdiction where the person was convicted,” and Michelle’s pound-and-a-half was certainly a felony.
