    War Veteran with PTSD Faces Life in Prison for Pot, His Wife Calls for Help

    What do you think, does this punishment fit the crime?


    “US Marine Corps combat veteran Kristoffer Lewandowski, who served in three tours of duty overseas including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, reportedly faces up to life in prison for pot charges connected to a June 2014 raid on his Geronimo, OK home that occurred after his wife and neighbors called police to get him help for a post-traumatic stress disorder flare-up. However, rather than providing mental health resources, police responding on the scene searched Lewandowski’s home for contraband and found six marijuana plants, weighing in at less than an ounce of plant matter in total, and charged him with, among other offenses, felony marijuana cultivation, which, under Oklahoma’s unusually-harsh marijuana laws, carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

    Truth in Media obtained an exclusive interview with Kristoffer Lewandowski’s wife Whitney Lewandowski in an effort to get their family’s story on the record.

    Whitney Lewandowski said that her husband, a loving father to three children who was honorably medically discharged from the Marines and is 100% disabled due to severe post-traumatic stress disorder, was growing the marijuana for personal use, “He was just using it… He couldn’t get any, and, of course, we’re a military family, we’re very poor, we couldn’t afford to buy it anyway. So he was just growing it for himself. He was on his way out of the military and just wanted to see if it would help with [his mental health issues]. He was taking 13 pills a day, and it was just killing his liver. He was having all these issues with his body and he just wanted to try something more natural to just see if he could do without that many pills a day.” She called his medical marijuana treatments “absolutely effective.”

    Seems like if they didn't have a search warrant, the court would throw the evidence out because it was obtained illegally.

    This guys only defence is the PTSD or pressuring the DA to turn it over to the feds.

    I lived in Cache for 2 years. Whole place is a cesspool of humanity, especially Lawton/Ft. Sill.

    They should throw it out, if there wasn't a warrant, or probable cause, or permission to search given. I would think. Contingent of course on a competent and honest prosecutor or a decent defense council.

    The 'totality of the circumstances' will be considered.

    Meaning, he could have hurt himself or someone else so the police skirted the Fourth Amendment. The evidence found will be allowed.

    Not to mention that his wife probably gave permission for them to enter the property.

    Oh, and an obligatory "God bless, for fighting for our freedom."

    Without kids such as himself, this country could be a soft totalitarian $#@!hole.
