Howdy friends
I’m sure many of you were waiting with bated breath to hear about my legal case
I think it’s a mild cause for celebration, but I’m staying out of jail!
The crown has offered me a (very rare) deal in a federal case. Plead guilty to possession with intent to distribute (my lawyer doesn’t think she can get me off that charge with 100s of kgs of weed & related stuff onsite). But the crown will drop my manipulation of cannabis with organic solvents (which was a bigger charge).
I’ve been offered 18 months of conditional sentencing. Basically modified house arrest, with curfew hours, weed prohibition, and reporting to a supervisor regularly. So… I’m being grounded, but on a federal level.
I will have federal charges against me, so I’m no longer able to come visit y’all in the land of the free and home of the underinsured. So that’s a bummer. Will likely face some annoyances with getting loans and stuff too.
I could’ve taken things to trial, but then would’ve had to start naming names, partnerships, and pulling others into my mess. And mama didn’t raise no damn snitch.
So, sad face… But could be much sadder. I’ve also opted to take the deal rather than potentially face jail time because…
We’re closing on a property deal with some investors this week! I will no longer be living in a 1980s RV trailer, and will have a roof over my head. We’re opening a craft cidery, distillery, flower farm, and RV/cabin/resort situation on 18 acres.
We’ll be offering wicked discounts for y’all to come visit. And providing an amazing event/party space and resort. 45min from snowboarding at Mt Washington, 2h from Tofino surfing, and steps away from dozens of lakes and hikes.
So… Some sad, some big happy.
Thank you so very much for your support in my case, emotionally, fiscally and otherwise. I sincerely appreciate very many of you, and the love you’ve shown me over the years here.
Here’s to better days ahead!
Cheers!
