From the WTOL "story":http://www.wtol.com/story/34976309/natural-healer-charged-with-drug-trafficking :

q.
Charmaine Bassett is the owner of Anyana Kai, a Natural Healing Center. Her website states she is a member of the Oklevueha Native American Church.

At the Lucas County Courthouse, Charmaine Bassestt was called to the stand by the judge and it wasn't but a matter of minutes before *she was taken out by courtroom security.*

"I stand on common law,” Charmaine Bassett said outside of the courtroom. “I stand on natural law. I stand under God's Law only. It would go against my spirit, my God-given right to life as a living woman to go into their jurisdiction. *I don't belong there. It's for corporations only."*

"I mean I'm federally protected. Our church is federally protected,” Bassett said. “But you know what? *Because they have the guns and the dogs, all of these abusive powers,* they're trying to tell me I can't practice my God-given right."

I'm a fan of Charmaine Bassett.

q.
According to court documents, she is charged with aggravated possession of drugs, including psychedelic mushrooms, and trafficking. Both of those charges are a second-degree felony.

Her third charge is for trafficking marijuana in the vicinity of a school, a fourth-degree felony.

This month marks the 10th anniversary of Toledo's illegal refuse fee tax, which is obviously one of my favorite topics to drone on about. !http://toledotalk.com/smileys/dance.gif!

Over the past 10 years, this illegal tax has robbed Toledoans of tens of millions of dollars.  The theft produced nearly $9 million in 2015, and the crime was forecast to steal over $11  million in 2016. !http://toledotalk.com/smileys/help.gif!

$20 million stolen from Toledoans over the past two years  to fund Toledo government's incompetence. Since April 2007, it's probably over $50 million that have been taken from us. !http://toledotalk.com/smileys/stomp.gif!

We could have spent some of that money, our money, at Toledo businesses. Toledo government can be bad for the local economy. !http://toledotalk.com/smileys/cry.gif!
 
It's legal for local government to commit robbery because goobermint has the guns, dogs, and maybe a drone.  !http://toledotalk.com/smileys/skull.png!

But when a citizen, a small business owner, sells  shrooms and grass for health reasons,  oh man, look out. The government reigns down.  !http://toledotalk.com/smileys/eek.png!

I'll take more Charmaine Bassetts over the thugs on city council who support criminal activity disguised as a revenue stream to fund fictional needs.  !http://toledotalk.com/smileys/furious.gif!

But voters keep supporting the thugs. !http://toledotalk.com/smileys/banghead.gif!

What about filing a lawsuit against Toledo government?  That was "tried":http://toledotalk.com/cgi-bin/tt.pl/article/21674/Refuse_fee_lawsuit__against_City_of_Toledo_-_August_2008_Update last "decade.":http://toledotalk.com/cgi-bin/tt.pl/article/33841/Refuse_fee_lawsuit_against_City_of_Toledo_-_April_2009_Update You can guess how far that progressed.  !http://toledotalk.com/smileys/sleep.gif!
