Marvin Chavez, director of the Orange County Cannabis Co-op, is in the jail for giving away medicinal cannabis to sick and dying patients. Marvin is a medical cannabis patient himself, and suffers from Ankylosing Spondylitis, a degenerative spinal condition. He is suffering in jail because he has been denied any pain medicine, and is not allowed to use his back brace.
The Orange County District Attorney is targeting medical marijuana patients in order to deny them access to a medication recommended by their doctors and to thwart the will of California voters. Marvin is one of three people from the Orange County Cannabis Co-op facing charges from the Orange County District Attorney.
Show the Orange County District Attorney that we won’t stand for these heartless attacks on people with AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, arthritis, MS, and other illnesses which are helped with medicinal cannabis. Show Marvin we support his efforts to aid the sick and dying.
