Fry/Schafer Awaiting Trial July 4th, 2007
by Bobby Eisenberg-Fry/Schafer Defense Committee
After five and a half years of persecution, Dr. Mollie Fry and her husband, Attorney Dale Schafer will soon have their day in court. A trial date of July 31st, 2007 has been set with jury instruction motions to begin on July 13th (2PM) at the Federal Court, 501 I St., Saramento, CA. Supporters are welcome.
Dr. Fry was diagnosed with breast cancer and ended up surviving a double mastectomy over eleven years ago. After unsuccessfully dealing with the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, Dr. Fry turned to medical cannabis. Her success with cannabis compelled her to provide others with the same opportunity. She and her husband set up a consultation and recommendation practice in Cool, CA. dealing with the laws surrounding cannabis and it's medicinal use.
On September 28th, 2001, the DEA raided their home and their office, seizing all of the attorney-client and doctor-patient confidential files and the witch hunt began. The federal government failed to get an indictment against Fry and Schafer until two weeks after the Supreme Court ruled against Angel Raich in June of 2005. On June 22nd, 2005, they were indicted for conspiracy to manufacture and distribute 100+ plants with known and unknown persons back in 1999 through 2001.
As part of the terms for release, Dr. Fry was ordered "to remain gainfully employed" and continue her practice.
The basis for the government's entire case rests on the testimony of a felon convicted of drug dealing who has been offered leniency in his own sentencing.
This informant has alleged that Fry and Schafer were growing hundreds of plants in their backyard yet only 32 plants were found, legal under Prop 215. Additionally, the convicted felon claims that the couple was dealing in thousands of clones(rooted cuttings), yet none were found .
The fact of the matter is that local law enforcement was apprised regularly throughout the development of Dr. Fry's clinic by Attorney Dale Schafer in an effort to maintain compliance with the law. The couple also sought and received approval from the Attorney General's Office in Sacramento.
The Federal magistrate, with no medical training
and no constitutional authority to prescribe medicine, has denied Fry and
Schafer the right to use medical cannabis which has been recommended by their
physicians. Fry and Schafer have been randomly drug tested since June, 2005, despite the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that it is unconstitutional to randomly drug test a person who has not been convicted of a crime ( we are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty). Fry and Schafer have been forced to replace the cannabis, a harmless herb
with tremendous medicinal value, with no less than a half dozen deadly and highly addictive FDA
approved and Physician prescribed drugs.
Drugs like Methadone, Norco, Oxycontiin, Valium, Dilaudid, Prozac, Clonapin,
Flexiril, Ativan, Compazine and Dexadrine.
Furthermore, the courts are denying Fry and Schafer the right to use Marinol,
which is legal in all 50 states for everyone in the country except these two
people who have not yet been convicted of a crime.
The Federal Government has stated that these two people are major west coast
drug dealers. The government did not find an appreciable amount of marijuana nor
did they find any cash, two things generally assumed to be in the possession of
drug dealers.
The undercover tapes also reveal that Dr. Fry was hoping to have clones to offer
her patients for $5.00 a piece in the future. These sales actually never
occurred.
One has to wonder why the government failed to secure an indictment against these
"dangerous" criminals for almost 5 years if the case against them is so strong.
And why would the government allow Dr. Fry to continue operating her Medical
Cannabis Consultation and Recommendation Service if she was posing some sort of
imminent threat to the community.
In 2001, the Feds threatened Fry and Schafer, both, with 40 year sentences. Now, after almost six years of persecution, the government has offered Schafer five months and Fry, NO jail time if she stops practicing medicine for the next five years.
The couple seeks complete vindication.

Green Cross hearing before the SF Planning Commission August 2, 2007
Dear Patients, Allies, Supporters and Friends:
Greetings to all of you! As you know, The Green Cross
is in the middle of the City of San Francisco ’s process
to secure a permit for our delivery service. Our hearing
before the SF Planning Commission has been scheduled for
August 2, 2007 at City Hall, Room 400. The meetings begin
at 1:30 pm . We won’t know until the agenda is printed
what time we can expect to have our case heard. I promise
we’ll keep you posted.
Once again I’m turning to you for your active support.
The Planning Commission needs to hear from our patients
that The Green Cross delivery service is an option the
San Francisco medical cannabis community deserves. We
maintain high professional standards and provide access
to high-quality, affordable medical cannabis products.
As you know, The Green Cross has always strived to be a
model, first as an mcd and now as a delivery service.
I am writing to ask you for three things:
1. Write a letter of support to the SF Planner overseeing
our case. Please refer to our Mandatory DR Case No which
is: 2007.0531D. Tell the City why you think The Green
Cross deserves a permit.
2. Attend the SF Planning Commission on August 2, 2007 .
3. Ask your family and friends to write a letter or send
an email. If they want to know more about us, please invite
them to visit our website:
www.thegreencross.org
We need to have dozens of letters reach the City in the next
month. The Planning Commission needs to hear from people
that support The Green Cross’ effort to secure a permit!
They need to know why we deserve a chance to operate a
first-class delivery service.
Please see below to get the address for the individual you’ll
want to write to. Please send us a copy of any letter you send
to the City.
