free peter davy, this is wrong in so many ways!

I am not a dealer... read my "Challenge" page on this website.

My name is Peter Davy and I am 51 years old. I pleaded guilty in Timaru Court (New Zealand) to cultivation of cannabis and associated charges. The judge told me to expect a prison sentence on March 16th when I go up for sentencing because it is about the fifth time I have been convicted. I have cancer and I am 24 hour caregiver for my partner who has advanced Multiple Sclerosis. She is dying and will die without me. I am not trying to use her an excuse however... this is my crusade not hers.... just pointing out the facts... as in the complete lack of empathy and compassion in our present justice system.
 
This is about Medical Marijuana and a police force that continually lies to make themselves look good. Firstly I want to make it clear that I will be going on a hunger strike the moment I am given a prison sentence and I absolutely do not want to be force fed under any circumstances. I will also be refusing all cancer medication. I am 100% committed to continuing with a hunger strike until I am dead.

I AM NOT A DEALER

In court the judge tried to say that I was obviously a dealer and that I had a long history of dealing convinctions.

I have ONE conviction for dealing years ago when I was completely honest with the police and volunteered the information that I'd sold some cannabis. I've always been honest with the NZ Police and expected the same courtesy in return. It has never happened.

On that ONE conviction I went to prison and I paid the price. A thousand times over. We'll get to that in the history of my convictions section that I'm still writing but I was so disgusted with myself and the system and some of the terrible things I saw in prison... that I slashed my wrists and tried to kill myself.

I swore I would never ever sell cannabis illegally again. Look I'm only human okay. I'm not trying to say I'm a saint. I make mistakes just like anybody else in this screwed up world and I'll stand up and look anybody in the eye and admit... I fucked up. Do I have to keep paying for the rest of my life for that one mistake? I'm a very private person and I've had to go public and lay my soul bare to the whole world. That isn't an easy thing for me.

I challenge anybody in this country to come forward and prove I've even shared a joint (that I provided) with them in the last six years... let alone given or sold them any cannabis. Since I came out of prison I've been a recluse looking after my dying partner. Not a soul knew I was growing cannabis, not even my partner. I was doing my Medical Marijuana plant breeding trials and experimenting on myself. That's it. For most of that six years I've been straight... as I am now... because I was producing seed not weed. You can't have one without the other and the total dry weight of cannabis from a few plants... once you take out the seed... is minimal. I've actually had very little cannabis at all that was any use for smoking. Anybody who says otherwise is a liar.

Let's be clear about this... I'm willing to cut off one of my own fingers on live television for EVERY person that can prove I gave, sold or even smoked a joint with them... in the last six years... other than when I very first got out of prison and on two separate occassions I smoked a joint (that they provided) with two different people in Christchurch. Then I broke off all contact with them. Apart from that IT SIMPLY HAS NOT HAPPENED!  I will volunteer to give up the whole hunger strike idea and turn myself into the nearest prison if anybody in this country can prove I've sold or given away any cannabis to them since I got out of prison. I AM 100% WILLING TO TAKE A POLYGRAPH TEST ON LIVE TV!!!

Up until FOUR DAYS AGO I did not personally know a single cannabis smoker in this country anymore. NOT ONE!!! I was not a member of NORML or ALCP or the Greens (who I now support for anybody wondering my political leanings). I have been living in total isolation from the cannabis world other than belonging to some overseas Medical Marijuana research groups that I corresponded with over the internet and who helped me track down rare Medical Marijuana seed. Otherwise I've been totally dedicated to looking after my partner.

So I'm calling you out... NZ Police... I'm sick of being stitched up on a pack of lies just to make some police officer look good in court... HOOK ME UP TO A POLYGRAPH and ask me if I'm a dealer. I volunteer okay. Give me truth drugs and question me as much as you like and as long as you like... on live video... I volunteer. You have my permission. Medical Marijuana is what I'm about. It's about time all the lies and coverups and the abuse of the sick in this country stopped. It's about time the Government sorted the cannabis laws out because they're a mess and my case is just a demonstration of how the police twist those laws to suit themselves.

I thought I was alone in this country fighting an impossible battle on my own. A fight I could never win. Since I went public four days ago I have been swamped with emails and phone calls from all over NZ and the world... not just of support... but terrible stories of terminally ill people and accident victims being targeted by the NZ Police for medical cannabis offences. I cried my eyes out many times in the last few days as I listened to some of the stories. Person after person telling me how they were suicidal because they suffered so much but cannabis was keeping them going.

This isn't just about me and my partner anymore... that would be selfish... this is about all those people in this country who are suffering and are being branded as criminals because they believe in Medical Marijuana. Almost EVERY SINGLE PERSON did not smoke cannabis until they were diagnosed with a terminal illness or had a crippling accident. That says it all. You don't need anymore proof than that if you have any brains at all. How dare the Government make people into criminals just because they got sick or hurt. These people suffer enough... they don't need the police kicking them in the guts as well.

My heart goes out to all the members of the NZ Greencross society. I feel your pain and I will fight for all of you. If I did not have a dying partner to look after I would go on a hunger strike right now regardless of if I go to prison or not.... in support of Greencross NZ.
