Hypoxia and Medicine

Recently I found a legal way to import/smoke pot for medicinal purposes, but will it hold up in court?

I thought it was only legal to treat medical conditions for people with doctor's prescriptions in states like California, but found otherwise when I tried to import pot from overseas and was instructed by both foreign and domestic Customs Drug Control Units on what steps to take to make marijuana importation and the right to possess and smoke it legal in any U.S. state. As a side question, would it still be legal if found in my car in a police search, and also I assume being charged with driving stoned could still result in getting charged with a DWI? Ok, so I was/am importing marijuana from the African country of Cameroon from a dealer I found on the web, to whom I was to pay only a partial amount of the total money I owed him for the product/shipping costs before receipt, and pay the remaining balance after I received the product, but this was when he told me he thought shipping would only cost $75. As it turned out, shipping was to cost $250 to me in Florida, U.S.A. for what was originally supposed to be 400 grams of pot for a relatively tiny amount of cash I was to pay the dealer- easily making up for the shipping costs- but the drug dealer told me he found he could send me up to 1250 grams in terms of weight for that same shipping cost, with a similarly small price for a larger amount of product, so we increased the deal to the larger amount of 1000 grams (1Kg), and I had to send him ALL of the money for it all before receiving it, though he threw in an extra 100 grams free for making the mistake about the shipping costs, making it 1000 grams of High-Grade Weed for an unbelievably low price- but I then found I additionally had to pay the shipping company $200.00 in "refundable" insurance, refunded to me in cash upon receipt of the package (although as I will later explain, I never received this first package and lost all the money I paid for its insurance and shipping). In any case, after paying this money for the shipping/insurance and all the money for the product itself, all paid via Moneygram to the dealer and the shipping company- as well as to others as this story progresses- I was informed I initiated this transaction before I had fulfilled all the legal requirements to do so, which I was unaware of, but regardless, my attempt at importing the pot from Cameroon in Africa to me in Florida in the U.S. was stopped by the Cameroon Drug Control Unit and I got an email from them AND from the delivery company (this entire experience took place over email communication between me and all parties involved), saying the package was confiscated by Cameroon Drug Control when found to contain marijuana and then saying that in order for these drugs to be legally shipped to me I had 4 days to produce a license available from the Republic of Cameroon for $2500.00, and providing me with their email to communicate with them on how to purchase it (ultimately through another Moneygram payment), warning that if I did not get the license within 4 days, they would report me to U.S. Authorities, and additionally they strongly recommended that I get second license from the High Court of the Hague for $1500.00, saying doing so would make my drug packages "unstoppable", as the Hague is the administrator of law over the whole of Europe, so I paid for this license as well. I am an Independent Filmmaker, and after a long while managed to save up thousands of dollars to make my first Independent Feature Film (and was still in the process of raising money for the film so I hadn't spent any of the money yet), so I was lucky to have this money at my disposal to pay for these licenses. So after the licenses were procured, the package was shipped, and when it arrived in the U.S. by way of New York, it was transported through Customs without a problem, but then when it was transported to California (where owning/consuming marijuana is legal with a doctor's prescription in the state, which even has public legal marijuana clinics where patients with a doctor's prescription can acquire medical-grade [high potency] marijuana) I ran into a problem, though I don't know why the package went to New York in the NorthEast part of the country and then to California on the West coast before finally being shipped to Florida in the SouthEast, which actually ultimately still has not happened, as I then got an email from Californian Custom Control saying they were going to hold the marijuana there to pursue legal proceedings against me if I didn't fulfill further legal requirements, namely: I needed a prescription note from a doctor saying I needed to consume pot for medicinal purposes, which my drug dealer in Cameroon was able to get from a doctor there after meeting with him and providing proof of all the ailments I needed medicinal marijuana for: Bi-Polar Disorder, Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder, acute anxiety, and insomnia. The email from Californian Custom Control also required that I get signed permission from the U.S. A The email from Californian Custom Control also required that I get signed permission from the U.S. Ambassador to Cameroon for my Cameroon License giving me permission for the export of the marijuana (of the variety Cannabis Sativa) from Cameroon to me in Florida, U.S.A. This signature from him as he told me via email would cost me another $2000.00, but at this point I was out of money. My drug dealer in Cameroon was arrested because we began our transactions before we had fulfilled all the legal requirements and was held in a jail with very poor medical conditions for the two months it took me to raise the last $2000.00 for the Ambassador, which gave me permission to export pot legally from Cameroon with no more fees for the next 10 years, and another month it took me to raise $1000.00 in bail money for my dealer to get out, plus another $250 I just paid for him to get medical attention upon his release, because his $250,000.00 in bank accounts were frozen upon his arrest..., preventing him from accessing them. While in jail, I was able to communicate with him through emails to the head of the Drug Control Unit in Cameroon, who would visit him in jail and pass messages between us. It was during this time that as I raised the $2000.00 for the U.S. Ambassador and $1000.00 to bail my dealer out of jail, that we made a deal that he would pay me back all the money I spent on licenses and permissions and money I paid him, well over $12,000.00, along with an unreasonably high interest rate he himself suggested, knowing he could pay it once his accounts were unfrozen, and I made the suggestion it be for every dime I paid through the entire process, with interest monthly on it since we started all this October 2008, and even eventually got him to pay me nearly 25% more of this entire amount, which he shockingly agreed to- and is more than enough to finance my first film if he keeps his word and sends me this money via international bank wire. Hell, even if he... doesn't, the head of the Cameroon Drug Control Unit said he'd set me up with another dealer, but from all our interactions I believe this dealer will come through with this money to make my film, and be my pot dealer, LEGALLY, for the next decade without a single new fee pay to make it legal. Now, to unfreeze his accounts, he needs one last payment of $1000.00 so he can do a different drug deal to raise the $5000.00 they are charging him to unfreeze his accounts, and send me the 1100 grams of pot again completely for free, as while I was raising money for the couple of months he was in jail and the Californian Custom Control had possession of my pot, they stored it poorly and it came into contact with moisture, making it toxic and forcing them to destroy it. Now it will take me till late May to come up with this last $1000.00 needed, and hopefully bring this adventure to a fairy-tale ending conclusion. I'm just hoping the pot can give me the inspiration to write the one of my many.. scripts-in-progress I want to use for my first full-length film like it did when I was at New York University Film School (I've Produced one full-length feature film we sold to the Cable/Satellite Premium Channel "Showtime", where it played countless times, but all my other work as either a Producer of a film someone else wrote and/or Directed or as the Producer/Writer/Director of my own films has been doing short films so far, under 40 minutes, so I'm looking forward to sitting in the Writer/Director's chair as well as probably Producing for my first feature film, which is about students at the High School I went to in Satellite Beach, FL called Satellite High School, near an Air Force Base with plenty of planes and their own "Satellites", which is what the film will be called. It's about an outsider who sort of "accidentally" become friends with the school's star basketball player and his girlfriend, and as a solo DJ and a musician of dance and other types of music in a duo with... an older musical prodigy long-since graduated from high school, he personally or sometimes the two of them got invited to DJ or perform at school parties for many different groups of people around the school- whose stories also are in the film- including the popular basketball player and his girlfriend and plenty of their friends, making the outsider a popular kid with a changed life in the proccess, but his newfound popularity and brand new life comes into jeopardy when he falls for the basketball player's girlfriend and she doesn't push him away, all leading up to an explosive finish). Wow, this is a lot of writing, is anyone gonna read all this? And do you think all these people emailing me have been straight with me (though it's hard to imagine otherwise), and I'll have the medical relief, relaxation, and inspiration of pot legally for the next decade, and I'll soon get to make my film? And what about the legality of having pot found by a police officer in my car, even if I'm... legally allowed to have it, at least at home? Send me happy thoughts, my people, and thanks for reading about my little tale. Stay cool/Be strong, Alexander

1. Basically, states can make whatever laws they like concerning weed but the DEA or FBI can still arrest you since it is still illegall to have/use marijuana. And to answer your question about the DWI, yes, I do believe that there is a clause under that law that states it can be any substence that impairs your driving and could cause harm to yourself or others.
2. I do not buy any of this crap.
3. Yes this process may be legal.. but you read what you wrote.. if someone else explained this to you, wouldn't it sound fishy, due to frozen accounts, send money now, and being in Africa, where these types of wire me money scams are abundant? And don't you find it odd that all communication was done via email? The State of California wouldn't email you. More than likely the FBI would have come to your door and arrested you. I think you got took for thousands of dollars.
