Requesting Court Support

My name is Eugene Davidovich, I’m a twenty year resident of San Diego, a medical cannabis patient, and a victim of Operation Green Rx and San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis’ brutal ambition to overturn California’s Compassionate Use Act.

After having served four years in the Navy, including two deployments to the Gulf, medals, commendations and an honorable discharge I began to experience serious medical symptoms. With the use of medical cannabis I found relief from the symptoms without the debilitating side-effects I’d experienced with prescription drugs. During my treatment I was able to complete a Bachelors Degree then a Masters in Business Administration, all while building a successful career as a project manager in software development field.

Then, as a result of law enforcement’s lack of training in California law or its unwillingness to follow that law, all collectives dispensing medical cannabis in San Diego were targeted and systematically closed, effectively eliminating safe access to medicine in San Diego.

After reading the newly provided State Attorney General’s (AG) guidelines for cannabis collectives I formed my own collective and began to lawfully cultivate, and collectively distribute medical cannabis to other members of this collective on a non-profit basis according to the state law of Proposition 215, SB420 and the help of the AG guidelines.
Last year I received a call from a man calling himself Jamie Conlan and asking to join the collective. After a rigorous qualification process where Mr. Conlan presented both a driver’s license and a medical recommendation which he lied to a doctor to obtain, I allowed to him to join and obtain medication from the collective.

Some months later, my Mission Valley apartment was raided by an armed narcotics team and I was taken to the police station where I met Conrado DeCastro who revealed Operation Green Rx. I was to discover later through the prosecutor’s discovery that the officers of the operation were targeting collectives from Cal NORML’S web site and posing as legitimate patients to obtain cannabis recommendations from doctors and then entrap collectives. I was shown two large binders with names and told “we are gonna’ bring all you medical pot people down.” Charged with four felonies, I was taken to jail, for legally providing a patient $120.00 worth of medical cannabis. I didn’t think things could get much worse.

Imagine my shock to find that the DA held a news conference of manufactured lies, touting the success of what they now referred to as Operation Endless Summer, depicting me as a dangerous dealer of large amounts of heroin, meth, marijuana, as well as trotting out the “don’t mess with the military” and the “streets of navy housing” mantra that the San Diego DA Bonnie Dumanis has been maintaining ever since. The evening news quickly picked up the story showing video footage of me at the arraignment hearing, and again listing drugs which did not exist nor with which I had any involvement, let alone charged with selling.

As a result of the false press conference, the police refusal to follow the law and the prosecutor attempting to deny the court evidence that I am a patient protected by medical cannabis laws, I am in the fight of my life.

Please help stop this illegal operation, senseless waste, abuse, harassment of legitimate patients, and the bias of a select few by supporting me in court on Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 1:30pm in Department 53.

Please visit my website to see the actual video of the delivery of medicine to the undercover, as well as some of the work I have done to raise awareness to the issue since my arrest.

COURT SUPPORT - JOSEPH MALONE - AUGUST 20, 2009

Hello my name is Joseph Malone and I would like to share my story with you as well as ask for Court Support for August 20, 2009.

In late march of 2008 I consulted with a San Diego attorney to discus the laws, policies, and procedures to operating a legal (under state law) medical marijuana dispensary.

On April 2nd 2009 I went to the San Diego board of equalization to apply for a sellers permit (for dispensing mmj to qualified San Diego residents/patients requesting help to obtain mmj).

After filling out my application I was directed to b.o.e. agent Mr. Pagan. Mr. Pagan reviewed my application he stated to me “you will need to call San Diego vice dept. To be sure you are in compliance with state and local laws (regarding dispensaries)." Mr. Pagan called directly to vice dept. From his desk and he listened in as I asked if I would be violating any state or local laws/ordinances. Vice officer stated to me “we are no longer policing mmj there is no longer an mmj task force". After confirming I would not be in violation Mr. Pagan then proceeded to issue a temp sellers permit as well as a temp conditional use permit.

Next Mr. Pagan directed me to follow through with next step which would be applied for business license at San Diego treasury office. Following advice of b.o.e. agent that was same advice I received from attorney I consulted with I went to treasury office and filled out a business tax application.

The business tax application required I list all business activity so zoning can properly review application. I list business activity as " I will be dispensing amounts less than 28 grams of medical marijuana to members requesting my help as a care giver to obtain there medical marijuana or medical marijuana edibles". I paid fees and was issued a temp business license. I questioned agent at treasury office about my application “do I need to contact police dept. Or any other law enforcement offices" I was told "no, my application would be sent for review by zoning and that they would notify me if there were any other issues ". After about 2 weeks I received via us mail my official business license and sellers permit as well as conditional use permit (from b.o.e). On April 20th 2008 ( yes that is 4-20- ) safe California access open its doors to the medical marijuana community of san Diego believing we were complying with both local and state laws regarding mmj dispensaries.

Next (after being told by cdhs directly that they were not issuing applications or accepting them for mmp program) I made e-mail attempts to request help from Mr. Ed plank from the san Diego mayors office both with applications for state id cards for myself and safe ca.access members; and as well to offer safe ca. Access or myself ( as an individual) would be willing to help donate funds or equipment needed to help implement an i.d. card system that would help begin to develop " open honest communication with law enforcement the district attorneys office, and cdhs for developing a stronger evaluation process for mmj patients and to help create a safer environment for all.

Now we jump forward to July 23rd 2008 when a undercover San Diego police officer came to safe ca. Access (after going to another dispensary that he received complaints about, which posted a sign " closed for remodeling go see Joseph at safe ca access) and the officer did just that he came posing as a qualified mmj patient who needed help obtaining some medical marijuana. After calling to verify this officer’s recommendation (that was valid according to dr. receptionist) next the officer filled out a caregiver consent form which designated safe ca. Access as his primary caregiver.

After creating a file to keep the officers info and copies of recommendation and driver license, the officer indicated he would like to obtain some mmj to relief his pain. I then allowed this officer into a secure locked medicine room (members only allowed) he requested one half ounce of medicine I charged the officer $200.00 plus the $15.50 state sales tax =ing $215.50. After helping this officer (whom I believed was requesting my assistance to obtain medicine recommended by his doctor) he went and requested a search warrant and was issued a search warrant by a local judge using words like ( "drug dealer, profit, illegal, and federal law") on august 5th 2008 I was served a search warrant at 3914 Murphy canyon rd. Officers arrested me and charged me with " possession with intent to sell "my trial is set for aug.20,2009

I am currently representing myself in this case. Joseph Malone.

Operation Green RX 09 – Investigations of San Diego Medical Cannabis Collectives Continue

By Eugene Davidovich, July 19, 2009

If you thought that Operation Green Rx only occured in the beginning of this year and only affected collectives operating prior to the Supreme Courts Decision to not hear San Diego County Board of Supervisors Law Suit and attempt to overturn Prop 215, think again!

July 7th, 2009 Detective Mike Mendez from the San Diego Police Department’s Narcotics team went to Dr. Clark’s office in San Diego, lied about his identity, symptoms, condition, and obtained under the name of Pierre Tiberius Uggla a valid Physician’s Statement and Recommendation for the medical use of marijuana.

Here is a picture of his Valid California Driver's License, he used to obtain the Recommendation:

On Thursday July 9th Detective Mike Medez went to Answerdam (a medical cannabis collective in San Diego), provided a copy of the recommendation along with a valid CA Drivers License #N3267614 shown above, and successfully joined the collective. When completing the appropriate paperwork to join the collective, “Pierre Uggla” accidentally wrote his real name Mike Mendez on the form.

As research on line (UT Article) and public records has shown Detective Mike Mendez (Pierre Uggla) has been with the San Diego Police Department for over 20 years, and currently is assigned to the San Diego Narcotics Task Force.

It was also reported that Mike Mendez said “Whats the good kron here?” when entering the medicine room of the collective.

Detective Mike Mendez (Pierre Ugla) arrived at Answerdam on Thursday July 16th in a light blue 2005/06 Toyota Avalon) driven by Detective Mark Carlson (Sterner Vs. Carlson) also of the San Diego Police Departments’ narcotics team that was involved in Operation Green Rx (http://www.EugeneDavidovich.com) in February where another Detective of the San Diego Police Department (Scott Henderson) called and joined all of the collectives then listed on CA NORML.

To see the undercover footage from Operation Green Rx of February of this year, please visit http://www.eugenedavidovich.com

Both Detective Mike Mendez (Pierre Uggla) and Detective Mark Carlson were accompanied by two more detectives driving a Silver Van. These detectives have not yet been identified, however interviews with Top Quality Collective security staff have revealed that the two detectives driving the silver van went into the collective and attempted to join without the proper paperwork. It is reported that the detectives began to act belligerent and began to harass the members arriving, when asked to leave the premises, the were reported telling the security staff “who's side are you on?”.

According to reports from several other collectives in San Diego, Mike Mendez (Pierre Uggla), Mark Carlson, and the two detectives in the Silver Van, have made several attempts in the past few weeks to join multiple collectives here in San Diego.

This is both shocking, and additional proof that The San Diego Narcotics Task Force has made it's Top Priority to shut down all collective cultivation / distribution efforts in San Diego, regardless of the attempts made by collectives to follow the law.

The 'war' on the San Diego Medical Cannabis community by a select few has not ended. The people of San Diego should demand a STOP to Operation Green RX, these senseless investigations, and the continued harassment of collectives in San Diego by the select bias driven few in the Narcotics Task force.

(Detectives: Mike Mendez, Mark Carlson, Conrado Decastro, Scott Henderson)

Please write the San Diego City Council and ask them to call for an immediate stop to Operation Green Rx, and a full Grand Jury investigation.
