WITH VIDEO: Recently raided Lake Orion medical marijuana grower dies

• this is a sad ending to this mans life, over nothing, no harm was being done, 63% of people in this state dont mean shit anymore, I guess as long as the police judges and lawmakers are around anyway. I will say this, I see your posts and I feel so proud, most of you understand, Iam proud to be an American, Most of you folks seen through the lies of our leaders, the one's that are suppose to lead the way, Im proud of the citizens of Michigan, Im proud this is a state were you can say no to morphine, vicodin, ect. that kill daily. Their is a time for people to stand up to the control power weilders, this is America, were once 63% of a vote on a bill was really impresive. Iam so proud of all your posts supporting medical marijuana, and Iam so proud of this man, for he went to his grave unbroken even after being violated by the law. Rest in peace toker, and god speed!

• after a few peoples brains get blown out then what I have one word for your simple mind EGYPT!

• Romans 3 10As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; 11there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. 12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."[c] 13"Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit."[d] "The poison of vipers is on their lips."[e] 14"Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness."[f] 15"Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16ruin and misery mark their ways, 17and the way of peace they do not know."[g] 18"There is no fear of God before their eyes."[h

• People are not to blame but ourselves for the corruption that goes politics.The the only reason people are suffering because of the fragmentation of tyranny and terror attacks financed by us to use us, including laws and restrictions People's Government of the Republic or the Federal Government

• I feel your pain in the mmj not working for your sickness but You are one person that it doesn't work,so by all means you have no right to call it non medicinal,I have quite a few health problems myself and am prescribed alot pills that have no effect on me does that make them non medicinal? mmj has helped me out big time,either way hope you get something that works but good luck finding something natural,FYI you can cook your mmj in cooking oil and strain it,use the oil in your main dish,no burning lungs.

• People have no one to blame but ourselves for the corruption that goes on in politics.The only reason We are suffering is because of the people's lack of unity against tyranny and terrorist attacks funded by us used on us including laws and restrictions put on the people of a state or republic by the federal gov. That have been passed on the state legislative level,Unity is the key if we can all just get along unity between fellow states men/women will be more than enough to ensure that we have secure living for our families and friends without the risk of all the FDA poisoning us along with gov. trickery. and there solution is take these pills that have 50 side effects and 1 cure along with our over fluoride d water supply there are alot of concerns when it comes the well being of us,Its just sad that the state you live in pay taxes and invest in won't even stick up for you when it comes down to the wire,so sad much love Sal,may you be in peace for the rest of us lets get it together!! You do have a choice"a sovereign citizen of the republic of Michigan" do some research on it. Isreale-T

• Those damn Michigan PIGS screw em, they do crap like this, and taser kids to death and then expect us to throw down more tax dollars so they can keep doing it? They want us to feel bad that they have to lay a few off, well sounds like the thugs are the police officers.

• MURDER!! WE THE PEOPLE REMEMBER SAL! Heartbroken mmmp member:(

• Patrick, if you are dealing with cancer, I offer that I think tumors are functional organs that arise in toxic tissues for a purpose. Tumors are involved in a variety of processes that help maintain equilibrium among various chemicals within the body. Tumors may arise in response to a tissue or tissues having over-concentration of any of many potentially toxic substances, such as excessive hormones, excessive metabolites of any sort, exogenous or endogenous toxins of any sort. It has been shown that tumors have elevated levels of detoxification enzymes. Also, rodents implanted with micro-chips resulted in growing tumors that encased the micro-chips, as to protect the healthy tissues from the walled-off unhealthy tissue that contained the foreign material of the micro-chips. Even moles are considered as dormant or self-regulating tumors. You can learn more about the cancer dots I've connected here: http://www.thrivetalk.com/index.php?topic=156.0 So basically you want to detoxify your body, and nourish it with healthy foods. This means avoiding toxic-air environments, like many apparel stores, toxic workplaces, smoggy cities, and not using toxic cleaning agents inside your home. Avoiding burnt food too is a good idea. I would even consider spending most time outside, and sleeping outside in fresh air, weather permitting. Emphasize fresh whole foods. Well, I happen to be eating much smoothies of: wild blueberries, bananas, almond butter, sea salt, spring water,...... and some wild-fish/veggie soup lately. Diet has been a complex thing for me, so I tend not to make recommendations, but I share what foods I happen to be choosing at the moment. Broccoli and mushrooms such as fresh shiitake and maitake and reishi added to soups or tea may also provide nutrients than encourage healing from the cancerous disease states. Some exercise, fresh air, enough sleep, detoxification, healthy eating, social interaction, stress management, and a sound mind, are all critical in healing after cancer, and those things are critical to health in general. Your words do seem to be written, Patrick, by an intelligent person, so it strikes me as interesting that you would display such pronounced irrationality in claiming that cannabis is of no medical benefit to anybody just because you did not experience benefit from it. Rather than isolating and exploring the variables (maybe you did not administer properly, maybe your case represents an anomaly, etc), you seem to have jumped to a sweeping conclusion without making room to settle into your own ever-adjusting awareness based on the growing facts of your experience and reality. And what is medicine anyway? Is not laughter the best medicine? If I enjoy some cannabis in a social setting, and experience much laughter with some friends, is not the cannabis playing a role in my experience of healing and nourishing emotions? Of course cannabis is not required for social fun, but sometimes it can be a nice addition as it can modulate conversation and the experience in interesting ways. If consuming an herb helps me purge/clear some of the dogma and societal programming from my mind, is it helping me detoxify my mind from antiquated beliefs and ways of thinking? And is it beneficial to have a clear mind and to think critically so that I can make desirable decisions about how I tend to my own health, as through diet and lifestyle? Cannabis is a medicine in so many ways, and like any medicine it is best embraced with knowledge as to how it's properties and powers are most effectively wielded and enjoyed. I think Terence Mckenna had said that it'd be good to enjoy cannabis only once in a while and in high amounts, to experience the strength of it's reality-unveiling power. For appetite and sleep support, I suppose cannabis can be administered differently. Patrick do you know if the herb you received was grown with organic practices? Have you experienced any new interest in spiritual existence since your journey with cancer began? -John

• Pattrick is another agent employed by a Corporation such as , Alcohol or Pharmaceutical to lie and use deception to trick you into thinking Marijuana is of no good . YOU WILL ROT IN HELL WITH ALL YOUR LIES ,PATTRICK !

• This is 100% about BIG corporate greed with Pharma. taking the lead . Just go to , " Maplight " & see all the money Pharma. pays out to Politicians . Theirs is a multi trillion dollar industry and they are committing genocide here and abroad because of their lust for money . Surely they have taken the side of Devil along with many " Christian " groups with their lies , deceptiveness , lust and greed for money & we are on one side with God telling the TRUTH .

• Sadly it sounds like no one has showed you how to peoperly use cannabis for your cancer, Just the fact that you even mentioned smoking cannabis as a cancer patient tells me you simply do NOT have a clue ! Best wishes as you fight for your life, Sadly cannabis could help you if you only knew how to use it correctly for your ailment Sad indeed ! brothermike

• "UNPATENTABLE plant" sums it up right there. No money for big pharma & law enforcement = no tolerance.

• BINGO! No reason for violence - just remove them at the ballot box and start a re-call petition this week against L. Brooks Patterson - Oakland County Commissioner and Mike Bouchard - Oakland County Sheriff. DO NOT GET VIOLENT - THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT US TO DO SO THEY CAN PAINT US IN A MORE NEGATIVE LIGHT. Community after community is embracing our cause. Just last week Walled Lake gave the "green light" for dispensaries. This week we heard that Holly will most likely be doing the same thing. Will Bouchard and the rest of the Nazi Gestapo Regime keep going around and concentrating their efforts against law-abiding patients and caregivers and STOP trying to entrap people using fake/forged documents? Our waiting time for our cards is absolutely laughable. It took nearly 5 months for my wife to get her card from Michigan Department of Community Health - If people got their card in the same time frame one gets their drivers license in the mail from the Secretary of State a lot of this crap would not - and - could not - have happened! Hope to see a "sea of green supporters" at the court house Wednesday morning! 11:00 a.m. 1200 N. Telegraph Pontiac, Michigan Oakland County Court House

• MODERN DAY REEFER MADNESS ENDS IN DEATH OF INNOCENT MAN!!! This is outright MURDER on the part of the Michigan Law Enforcement. Michigan sounds like freakin' NAZI GERMANY. Who's there Governor an Adolf Hitler clone? I thought Iowa was bad thank God I don't live in Michigan where you have to fear for your life just to get the best medical care avaialable to you. God Bless America, we sure as hell need it. MAKE THIS VIDEO GO VIRAL IN MEMORY OF SAL AGRO AN INNOCENT MEDICAL MARIJUANA PATIENT MURDERED BY MICHIGAN LAW ENFORCEMENT!!!

• Patrick, I'm sorry that medical marijuana didn't provide you with the relief that it provides so many other patients. Your experience, while tragic, does not, however, invalidate the experiences of thousands of other patients worldwide who have found pain relief, nausea relief, improved sleep, and many other medical benefits. As for the scientific proof you claim doesn't exist, actually it does. Granny Storm Crow has compiled a 420-page listing of links to scientific studies showing actual medical benefits from cannabis. Granny Storm Crow's listing is still free at this email: i.wantgrannyslist@greenpassion.org

• Wow, You people all think of yourselves as "revolutionists", don't you? Where is all the proof the medical marijuana HELPS you, at all? Besides just people talking about how it relieves stress in their lives? I have stage 3 cancer, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. After having everyone and their brother who smoked weed (I never did until a year ago, when I was 27) tell me that marijuana would really help me out with my appetite and other problems I had from my chemo and cancer, my PCP and Oncologist talked it over and gave me a prescription for medical marijuana. After much debate with myself, I decided to go ahead and try. I got cookies, peanut butter and had a friend of mine help me pick out regular marijuana that was pre-rolled into cigarette form. IT DID NOTHING FOR ME. Except when I smoked it, it made me cough and burned the sh!t out of my already fragile lungs. It wasn't a mind thing either, I sincerely wanted this to work. To make the nausea go away and for it to take away a small amount of the pain. It didn't do any of that though, I was (am) still just as sick, throwing up a little bit more than normal. It was heartbreaking finding out that everyone lied to me. Medical Marijuana doesn't work, it doesn't help out like all of you people say. I read SO MANY articles that people wrote about MM, I can't tell you how heartbroken I am to have found out that it's not medicinal AT ALL. If anyone with a medical problem is thinking about using "medical marijuana", thinking that it might help you in some form, please, take it from someone who is dying, someone who went through 4 years of chemotherapy and will be starting another round of chemo in October, please don't think that medical marijuana will help. It MOST LIKELY WON'T. Just listen to your Dr.'s and do whats best for you. Please disregard what everyone on this site says about how great it is and how it'll help (if not solve) your problems. I stuck with MM for 6 months, it did not help me in any way. I found out that that is generally the case with cancer patients, the majority of people who use MM will tell you that it's NOT helpful and normal (although taxable) nausea medications and appetite stimulants work SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER. PLEASE, don't be stupid like I was and listen to all these people talk up marijuana. If everyone wants to smoke it, great, they should be allowed to do it, just please don't EVER make this a commonly used medical crutch. Any Dr. worth their salt will tell you the truth: it's just not effective and it just doesn't offer any benefits. Plain and simple.

• Hate Crime-Definition A hate crime, also known as a bias crime, is a criminal offense committed against a person, property, or society that is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin. Now note this is off the FBI site! http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius_04/offenses_reported/hate_crime/index.html the word DISABLITY comes into play here!!! this raid by the FBI's own discriptions is a hate crime by law enforsement!!! AFEDERAL CRIME !!! report it now!!! call your congressmen and news media and report it !! hold those responsible ,RESPONSIBLE for a CRIME!!! GET a lawyer (aclu) or advertise for a high priced one to sue the city and employees responcible !!! set a precident and make it a better world!!! This war on drugs is killing the innocent and makeing criminals out of the people who are to procect us!!!! WTF? (WE THE FREE?) my arse....

• I agree with mike. your>our best reaction is to fight them at the ballot box. the key to their defeat is beat their bosses [our servants] back to the fascist totalitarian scum hole they came from. they have the whole system behind them.you kill one ,two more will come to get his body and yours. they can kill anybody and get away with it. do not resist. that's what they want. what do you think is behind the face down,arm bending, knee to the spine as they cuff you? it's to force you to struggle to breathe so, they are justified in beating, tasering & killing you.if you let them do what they will and then hit them where it hurts.fight smart. there's a time for deadly force. not during a skirmish,not while we're winning the war.remember you're fighting with one arm tied behind your back but, that free arm is bionic attached to your vote against that people hating drug warrior.

• How many more innocent people have to suffer and die before society changes? I am truly ashamed of the way humanity acts towards one another; forgetting they live on the same planet; letting their illusions and superstitions get the better of their reason and sanity. Pathetic....

• There will be time in the near future when even the memories of such events are both painful and shameful!

• Land of the Free....

• Wow. Just wow. How do they sleep at night? Who knows if it was his time to go anyways, but to cause this much grief and stress for an obviously law abiding citizen and mentor in his last days is just terrible. Please make this wonderful medicine legal so we can avoid hearing these stories.

• If they can just stop one person from growing or using the evil weed then it will be all worth the effort...right? Mr. Agro is just collateral damage as far as the police are concerned. Reefer Madness = Full Employment for police forces.

• I hope every cop reading this who participated in that raid knows they played in hand in his death. It might have been coming, but you unnecessarily stressed out an old sick man. That is definately your job.

• Sal said his family ran the Ferndale dispensary professionally, and had actually invited government officials to tour the operation.

• I should draw attention to the fact that there is no hard evidence the police raid caused the death on this occasion, although we can all have suspicions about how it MIGHT have been trigged by stress caused by the police. However of course the police raid was totally unjustified, and if there is even a possibility it may have killed him then that in my opinion demonstrates enough why weed should be legal. I must admit though, I am disillusioned. I live in a hostile, ignorant society that wishes to persecute me, have the police arrest me (and all the risk associated with that, arrest for a non-real crime is an act of violence). I also risk prison in my own country, just because I grow for my own supply. But quite simply FUCK THE POLICE WORLDWIDE, so far I have NEVER been caught for pot in my whole life, and nothing will bully and victimize me enough to stop consuming pot.

• Larry, I know you think your tough dude, but if you resisted the police, they would simply blow your brains out, except nobody would ever question their justification if you "resisted".

• Another brick in the wall and another mind blowing reminder of Nazism in the so called "land of the free..." the founding Father's are rolling over in their graves. Ghost brigades will haunt them for time in-memorial. The collective Will of the people must be unified... the only Revolution comprehensive enough to do so is a Revolution in Time. Please open your's to the Discovery of the Law of Time and the over-haul of biospheric terrorism as we know it. To Sal of 67 and his family, maybe it's time to move to Oregon. How can we help????

• prime* not prim.

• And people wonder why some are starting to say its time for a revolution in this country? This is a prim example of why WE NEED a revolution. to stop these bastards and to fight for our freedoms here in our own country.

• my heart goes out to that family and everyone els in this mess i hope u have a very good attorney and sue the hell out of the state of michigan it may not bring ur dad back but at least you can save someone elses life from somthing like this this is crazy its legal but they act like we are drug dealers them cops need the badge taken my thoughts and prayers go out to you god bless

• Where in the media has this atrocity been reported? From Google, it looks like one local paper and a lot of internet support groups. Nothing from any major mainstream sources, which spew a daily recounting of atrocities on the other side of the world. But not Sal Agro, like Peter McWilliams and thousands of others, a martyr to the cause in this medical horror show. While the media tells us how many plants the deputies got last week.

• The man offered a peaceful walk thru and they kick the door in guns at ready , youve gotta believe his death from heart attack , days later was some how connected. Awful way to treat a citizen and fellow human being.Bad laws gotta be changed .

• Those police officers are terrorists! If they come to my home like that, I'll do whatever is necessary to defend myself using whatever means I have available. The law allows us the use of DEADLY FORCE to protect ourselves, our families, and our homes from terrorists. I'm not kidding: This is the definition of "terrorism" and you have the right to protect yourselves. At the very least, I hope all of those Law Enforcement Officers come to terms with the fact they are traitors to their country before they expire!

• "There comes a time when our politicians are going to have to be asked to state publicly whether they believe that corporate profits and funding international criminal organizations is really that much more important to them than the lives of their constituents." That time is long overdue. What time it will soon be is NOVEMBER when EVERYONE had better ask thier so-called apointed officials (or wanna-bes) where THEY STAND ON MMJ! If they answer WRONG you know what to do. If they answer correctly, but instead LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH, you know what to do! History only repeats itself not because we have not learned from it, but becuase we have not learned what to do when it starts repeating again!

• Grow a safe, natural, non-toxic, UNPATENTABLE plant, you either go to jail or get murdered by "officials" who believe they know better than all the doctors and scientists on the planet. Take all the pharmaceuticals you can afford? That's OK, because that won't help your health in the longer term, and it's obscenely profitable for multinational corporations that you buy their hideously marked-up prices. There comes a time when our politicians are going to have to be asked to state publicly whether they believe that corporate profits and funding international criminal organizations is really that much more important to them than the lives of their constituents. We already know that most cops would rather beat the public down every chance they et, than to use their own brains...so we obviously have to ask their CONTROLLERS to start thinking about the facts, and start to at least TRY to make rational, intelligent decisions. OR WE GET RID OF THEM.

• ever wonder where the term PIGS came from not all people who represent the law are pigs some are officer sir , but have earned/deserved that title....gg

• my heart goes out to there whole family!when will this stop? We voted yes as free americans and yet we are treated like drug dealers!its not a war on drugs its a war on people.we put them in office so its time to make our votes count!
