Ep. 2 Fresh to Death in My Flesh Prison

This is episode 2 of Smoke Til It’s Gone Or Die. In this
week’s episode, Patty talks about the unsolved mysterious deaths
of the Yuba County Five. She will certainly leave you with more
questions than answers. Rylee wraps up Pride Month by talking
about the Trans Panic Defense and the murder of Nireah
Johnson.


This week we ask you to visit ASAN, the Autistic Self
Advocacy Network, at
https://autisticadvocacy.org/ Their
activities include public policy advocacy, the development of
autistic cultural activities, and leadership training for
autistic self-advocates. They provide information about autism,
disability rights, and systems change to the public through a
number of different educational, cultural, and advocacy related
projects.


Also visit
https://www.specialolympics.org/. Donate
to and volunteer with the organization that brought the Yuba
County Five together as friends.


In reference to Rylee’s case, please visit
https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/publications/member-features/gay-trans-panic-defense/,
where they outline what the Gay/Trans Panic Defense is, and how
you can get involved in pushing for legislation in states that do
not currently have laws banning this defence.


Please visit the LGBT Bar Association at lgbtbar.org, to
educate yourself and make donations. The National LGBT Bar
Association is a national association of lawyers, judges and
other legal professionals, law students, activists, and
affiliated lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender legal
organizations. The LGBT Bar promotes justice in and through the
legal profession for the LGBTQ+ community in all its diversity.
We also recommend reading the works of W. Carsten Andresen, who
has dedicated his time and resources to researching cases in
which investigators do not take sexual or gender identity into
account officially, but where the victim’s identity was part of
the motive of the crime in the first place.

Under Massachusetts’ Chapter 94G and California’s Proposition 64
Bills it is legal for us two assholes to possess and consume
MaryJane, medically known as cannabis, in our respective states.
We do NOT condone the illegal consumption, possession, or sale of
cannabis in places it’s not supposed to be smoked, man handled,
or acquired from a legal dispensary. But we DO condone what the
awesome humans at Marijuana Policy Project are doing to support
legislation at the state and federal level to decriminalize
cannabis across the country, and advocate for those who have been
incarcerated for cannabis possession. Visit mpp.org for more
details.
