I'm asking for any kind of help available. On Dec 27/04 another police raid on my shop "Harvest Moon" has landed me in jail and I've been held in custody since that date. I don't want any trouble with the authorities, but there is a constitutional and charter challenge that needs to be addressed. It seems this area's jurisdiction is unfair and harsh on the efforts Harvest Moon is making fighting prohibition. I want to be a part of the legal cannabis industry, but bureaucracies are trying to damage my life in Canada.

I had a pre-trial on Sept 6/05 in which I prepared a letter for the courts (copy enclosed). It seems the nine months in custody isn't worth anything and a liberal crown prosecutor, Richard Pollock, wants me in a federal penitentiary. Trust me, this has all been a set-up from day one. On April 26/05, I was denied bail because I want to continue with Harvest Moon. I need an expert like Mr. John W. Conroy, QC to help fight PROHIBITION for a positive resolution.

My lawyers in Windsor, Mr. Robert Dipietro and Mr. Kirk Munroe are helping me fight the trafficking, proceeds of crime and the five other related charges I'm facing for operating Harvest Moon. The majority of people in the Windsor and surrounding areas are saddened, frustrated and angry about the way the Crown prosecutor and Windsor Drug Squad have been conducting their behavior in handling this case against Harvest Moon. Important court date Oct 14/05.

My goal is to re-open Harvest Moon in the near future, having an active role in the community with no problems from our authorities. Promoting education and healthy safe access for people in need, increasing revenue for our government, overthrowing the black market in a responsible manner. I realize this is a tough goal for all of us in the cannabis industry, but with help from great organizations like Cannabis Health, Cannabis Culture, NORML, Federal Marijuana Party, BCMP and the list goes on of great people out there trying to make a positive change in society. It's a realistic goal that I feel will happen. AMNESTY is a good start.

Thank you kindly for the SEPT/OCT 2005 issue of Cannabis Health you sent me. I enjoy the very interesting information; feel free to send me any literature available which will help fight the good fight. ALL TOGETHER WE CAN END PROHIBITION.

Keep up the good work Cannabis Health. I’m fighting for all of us!

Sincerely yours, Nick Minardi, Harvest Moon
