LSD = life sentence

It's totally barbaric that laws exist that allowed this to happen. Life in prison for distributing a drug that everyone who is buying it wants to be buying, that is one of the physically safest drugs known to man. But I've never heard of anyone getting life in prison for actually dangerous drugs like coke and heroin, drugs that are probably funding terrorism or cartels... except maybe if they're also connected to other crimes or if they're rollin' Tony Montana style.

What a terrible tragedy this is. I sincerely hope that decades from now (or sooner) society will look back on this with shame and think "how could we have done that?". And then they can let him go. :)

I just found this post online while looking at what happened with Pickard. This appears to be a similiar case, any one heard of this guy Roderick Walker? Have any more info of what happened?

Hi Everyone!
I posted this on another board and we are really trying to get the word out on this. I am going to try to buy a web domain and hosting next month when I get paid so that we can post up pics, documents and info on his case. Rudd is one of us and if you knew him - and I'm sure lots of us did, you may not even realize what happened - here is what was posted - PLEASE - If you have time, write to the brother - you can even do it online and someone will mail a physical letter for you (web address for that below);

lots in this thread;http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/12509855

My friend Rudd got caught up in an LSD conspiracy charge a few years back and the US Gov't gave him a life sentence. He was never actually caught with any LSD and was convicted based on the testimony of 11 witnesses (some federal agents).

The case is really a truly sad one - that they would lock anyone up for life for LSD is unthinkable, and I believe only one other person was given this harsh a sentence, William Leonard Pickard.

There used to be a copy of his appeal online, now I can only find a synopsis here; (lots of details)
http://ca10.washburnlaw.edu/cases/2006/05/05-5127.htm

I'm posting this to spread awareness of his case.

He's a good guy, but has lost everything. If anyone reading this has time to write him a letter, share some words of kindness or whatever, here is his info -

Roderick Walker
#13615-055

USP Hazelton
PO Box 2000
Bruceton Mills WV 26525-2000

Walker # 13615-055 a message FREE! no stamps needed. VFI (Voice For Inmates) will be happy to mail it out for you. We send all messages out at the end of the week.

RUDD IS ALSO IN DIRE NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION - HOW YOU CAN HELP (you can e-mail the people below - extremely HELPFUL! - thanks!!)

Of course we would love for you to write to Rudd directly, shine a little light on him - he needs it! A more pressing concern is that he is not being given any treatment for severe medical needs - this is inexcusable as he is in custody and has no options other than what the systems gives him, please read below and help if you can - thanks!!!!

Shit like this makes me so angry my eyeballs almost pop out of my fucking head!!! They did this to make an example of someone and thats it!! IDC how many hits of LSD he sold that is no justification to destroy an entire young mans life. I know murderers and child molesters who have gotten lesser charges:X The justice system in this country is beyond rediculous and these drug laws are out of hand. More people should rise up on this issue but they wont because we have becoma a nation of pussies that lay down and take whatever the government wants to do. The system which used to be held in the most high is now nothing but a joke and has been heavily tainted by money interests. IF THIS WAS LINDSEY LOHAN SHE WOULD BE SENTENCED TO 6 MONTHES PROBATION AND A 90 DAY REHAB:! Look how many of these celebrities have been caught with cocaine and get out of jail the next day, and they get sentenced to a slap on the hand and rehab. How's that for fair!! My heart and prayers go out to this man and his family I am so sorry for your buddy:(

San Pedro is legal, ill send you the seeds for free. There now it's free, you lazy stoner.

Now you just how to grow it.

What you should have said... is people don't want to take the time and effort to grow their own drugs... admit it you lazy stoner, it's not about having to fly to Peru or anything like that, it's about wanting to get high RIGHT NOW and that is sad.



I'm not the fuckin' neuro-bitch.

I belive in growing plants over other drugs for alot of reasons.

Poppies are a good example... please don't fund terrorist, just get off the dope for awhile, farm you a field of poppy and next spring you can be smoking Opium... but don't fund terrorist.

When I hear about people buying heroin I always think... hmm... wonder how many RPGs that is going to purchase?

BTW just for the record... they could put red hot pokers down my throat and I wouldn't snitch on my worst enemy unlike sketchy ass neuro-soup girl.

Bro do not buy into the bullshit that you are somehow funding terrorists because thats what it is, bullshit. If you knew how corrupt the CIA is you would be singing an entirely different tune. Why do you think these ludacris drug laws still exist in this country?? To keep the kids safe? LOL. I don't think so, they could give a fuck about you, me, or your kids. Every1 knows that this rediculous war on drugs is a lost cause, and the feds know it too. Do you think they r just too stupid to realize that these laws are failing? Or do you think they keep those laws in place because the longer those laws stay in place the more money they make importing massive amounts of drugs? Corruption runs rampant here, any1 that doesn't see that is blind. I seem to remember a plane quite a few years ago that crashed in the middle of nowhere with over 3 TONS OF BLOW!! Who do you think that plane belonged to?? The true terrorists are on the television everyday8o
 
I'm not saying anything new, but, at the highest levels, I really believe that LSD laws are the way they are because the "establishment" sees it as a threat. The last thing those with power want is change. And LSD has the power to do that: change people.

It is a lot easier to control people who don't think, who accept what you tell them, who can't imagine an existence outside of the status-quo and have never considered it, who numb their mind with alcohol and television, and who actually fear those things and ideas that might help open their eyes because of what you've told them.

LSD presents problems to the goal of power and control, for governments and for religions. LSD enables a new perspective. In the dedicated seeker, it allows for a glimpse of truth. It allows the previously jaded person to throw off the chains of his presupposed notions, be they of his own creation or taught, to look at the existence from a tabula rasa, and to discover his own, true, personal ideas and intuitions.

LSD helps the individual to find his own answers, to find personal spirituality, and to realize that he only need be true to himself. It's empowering.

When you lust for power, the empowerment of others is a threat to you.


...perhaps I'm out of line, but I see real evil when I look at the methods and motivations of those who hold power in this country. I see selfishness on a massive scale. Who is the real criminal in this situation, where a man's life is destroyed for this? Literally, over something that is positive for humanity, and has been since it was discovered.

You can go to prison for San Pedro if there is evidence that you intend to use it as a drug...yes, a young female who advocates the use of San Pedro to get high can be prosecuted under the law for growing an otherwise legal ornamental on her property. Unless she is using a proxy she can TRUST, using Ghosterys and taking other precautions to avoid detection, phony 1 time email, ect....I would be very careful about discussing how great it is to grow your own drugs while sitting on drug farm....not that anyone here would be that stupid, and Im sure people are just joking around here.


LSD laws are absolutely criminal. The government just wanted an excuse to throw the book at a culture of dissent. Most people who use LSD tend to go against the grain of society....it doesnt make for easily controlled robots, regardless of the suggestibility it can promote. The government would rather us be hooked on alcohol to numb our brain in the evenings and coffee to keep us focused and looking straight ahead in the day time....they dont want our mind wondering off questioning everything inside of a wakeful yet dream like euphoric trance, pondering the nature of our own existance while knowing the government is our enemy for HAVING this experience....its not what the state wants in our heads.

They just figure anyone who trips is their enemy, so they treat trippers like enemy combatants. Some enemy combatants get better treatment or shorter sentences than harmless users of LSD get.

In my opinion, its the government that is illegitimate.
 
the fact that anyone can be put in a box for selling a substance to someone that wants to buy it is ludicrous IMO. If people want to put a substance in their body it should be their decision. Last time I checked people are supposed to have freedom. Choosing to put a a chemical in your own body should be part of that freedom.

The only time it shouldnt be is if it endangers the right to life or well being of others....like I dont care if people drink, but dont drink while driving a big rig. I dont care if you use PCP, but if you flip out in public then the authorities are within their right to detain you.

People minding their own business in their own homes, or bothering nobody at a camp out festival, or peacefully attending a party that is socially accepting of drug use....this harms nobody, and they should be left alone.


I have mixed feelings about hard drugs in public spaces....but if you can pull it off like your not tripping, then chances are you are not bothering anyone.

What if I was slangin' purified Uranium-235? Would you want me locked up?

not if you were selling it as uranium to users that wanted to put that substance in their body. I dont see how the government can try to control what substance a person chooses to put i their own body...

What is your point exactly? That some things pose a risk to society in the wrong hands, therefor it is right that we treat non-violent drug users worse than child rapists and murders?
 
^ Of course not.

I was mostly just making a silly joke.

But also I was making the point that, to every rule, there is an exception. Most substances should be legal to sell and possess, but bomb ingredients should not. :)
 
Many over the counter ingredients can be used to make a bomb. If we started to ban anything that COULD be harmful, we would have some very bare cupboards.
 
^ That's true -- you can make some impressively powerful gunpowder with one trip to the hardware store.


What if a chemical existed that was guaranteed to permanently warp you into an aggressive and deranged individual after trying it once? And the experience wasn't even enjoyable? But for some inexplicable reason, its presence irresistibly compelled people to take it?

Should a hypothetical society allow its members to put that substance into their body?

lol.

I don't believe any substance should be considered illegal. that fact that they can lock people in boxes for possessing a chemical is completely ridiculous.
 
Not even my hypothetical wacko drug?


You know, you guys are right. I use U-235 for legitimate purposes on a daily basis. And I'd really hate to have to give up my hobby of -- ehhrm -- rare earth metal jewelry crafting, just because some spoil-sports want to level NYC. :(

Macguyver would have to live in an empty house.
I can empathise with the guy's plight.
If he was selling drugs directly to DEA agents then he was utterly foolish.
Dealers should only deal through close long-held trusted associates and friends.
It sounds like this guy didn't stick by that idea at all and left himself exposed.
A life sentence is ridiculous, presumably noone died or was seriously injured from taking his acid.
But its America, where the famous get away with murder, literally, because money talks when it comes to defending yourself in court.
When you commit a crime you need to weigh the risks against the benefits.
If he was producing LSD you are taking a risk with severe implications.
Or have I got the wrong end of the stick and this guy is 100% completely innocent and this is all a complete fabrication.
