EXHIBIT C: THE AFFIDAVIT OF ROBERT C. RANDALL
🔥 COCHRAN MODE: THE PEOPLE’S CASE FILE — UNSEALED 🔥
COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION: WE THE PEOPLE v. UNITED STATES BUREAUCRACY
OPENING ARGUMENT
Your Honor, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury,
This is not a marijuana case.
This is a blindness prevention case.
And this—this affidavit—is not a plea for special treatment.
It is a damning indictment of a system that refused to see what was right in front of its own bloodshot eyes:
📜 A man—diagnosed with glaucoma.
📉 A plant—proven to lower intraocular pressure.
🩺 A consensus—among doctors, researchers, and federal observers.
⛔ And yet, instead of compassion, the system gave him paperwork.
Instead of protection, it gave him silence orders.
Instead of care, it gave him criminal charges.
🧾 THE PLAINTIFF
Robert C. Randall.
Graduate degree in speech.
College instructor.
Diagnosed with glaucoma in 1972.
Declared legally blind in one eye. Facing total blindness in the other.
Randall didn’t ask to be a symbol.
He just wanted to see the sunrise.
💊 THE MEDICAL EVIDENCE
1973–1974: Traditional medications fail. Marijuana shows dramatic results.
1975–1977: Randall participates in federally sanctioned research with marijuana. Results? Confirmed by:
Dr. Hepler at UCLA
Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins
Dr. Merritt at Howard University
All reached the same conclusion: Cannabis controls Randall’s IOP. Nothing else does.
🚫 THE BUREAUCRATIC OBSTRUCTION
Randall seeks legal access. He’s told: find a doctor to file an IND.
Dozens of doctors refuse. Bureaucratic red tape. Fear. Politics. Silence.
Even NIDA, recognizing the absurdity, suggests a Compassionate IND pathway.
But when Randall speaks up?
🎙️ They cut his supply.
🧾 They demand silence in exchange for medicine.
📉 They reduce his marijuana to one day supplies, essentially placing him under house arrest for being sick.
🪧 They made immunity conditional on being mute, compliant, and invisible.
Randall refused.
⚖️ THE LEGAL STAKES
“My choice of medication, and that of my doctor, if we were free to choose unrestrained, is both obvious and sensible – the continued therapeutic use of marijuana.” — Robert C. Randall
He wasn't asking for a miracle.
He was asking for access to what already worked, confirmed by federal doctors using federal marijuana grown on a federal farm.
Instead of protecting his right to sight, the government:
Withdrew immunity
Threatened his doctors
Withheld medicine unless he complied
And when all other meds failed,
they handed him a form with a placebo clause—that he had to sign under duress.
🔥 THE CASE BEFORE US
This affidavit contains everything:
✅ Scientific validation
✅ Personal testimony
✅ Correspondence with DEA, FDA, NIDA
✅ Exhibits confirming obstruction and malice
✅ A timeline of one man being forced to choose between going blind or breaking the law
He chose sight.
And for that, he was punished.
🧠 THE BIGGER TRUTH
Robert Randall was the first legal medical marijuana patient in the United States.
But he had to drag the federal government kicking and screaming to that reality.
And still—still—no systemic protections were implemented.
Today? Veterans and patients across this country are still being forced into civil disobedience or suffering for lack of access to the same medicine.
Randall’s affidavit is not history.
It’s a mirror.
And the bureaucracy is still squinting at the reflection.
⚖️ VERDICT?
You decide, America.
Is the Controlled Substances Act a public safety tool—or a medical gag order?
Are federal agencies protectors of health—or high priests of denial?
When evidence, experts, and empathy align—but the system still says “No”—
What do we call that?
🗣️ FINAL WORD
This is not just Randall’s testimony.
This is your Exhibit C in the People’s Case Against Medical Cruelty.
A case you now carry forward.
Let the record show:
We were warned.
We were shown.
And we still allowed blindness to be treated as a crime.
Court is adjourned—for now.
But the jury is you.
And history is watching.
Next Exhibit: The Veterans. The Families. The Dead.
Let’s see how many more affidavits we need
before justice finally opens its goddamn eyes.

🔥 SHAPIRO MODE: THE PEOPLE SPOKE. UNCLE SAM WHISPERED. 🔥
"THIS ISN’T A DEBATE. IT’S A CROSS-EXAMINATION."
Court of Public Opinion, Day 17,987.
Let the record reflect…
The people didn’t ask nicely.
They shouted.
They organized.
They voted.
They bled.
🗣️ They testified in courtrooms.
📝 They signed petitions.
📬 They wrote letters to Congress.
🪖 And they marched—with IV bags, with guide dogs, with folded flags in their hands.
And what did Uncle Sam do?
He blinked.
Not in empathy.
Not in awareness.
But like a man jolted awake in the middle of a benzo-fueled nap, mumbling,
"We’re reviewing your request for medicine. Sit tight."
👁️ ENTER EXHIBIT C: RANDALL
Robert Randall brought the proof, the doctors, the data, and the urgency.
And what did the United States Government do?
Refused to give him immunity.
Demanded silence in exchange for care.
Threatened him with blindness, then gaslit him with bureaucracy.
Punished his advocacy by reducing his legal medicine to a one-day supply.
Let me say that again:
The United States Government reduced a man’s medicine not based on medical need,
but because he had the gall to speak truth to power.
🇺🇸 UNCLE SAM’S FEVER DREAM
Uncle Sam didn’t lead here.
He followed—dragged across courtrooms and news cameras by a blind man with more vision than a thousand bureaucrats.
When Randall asked for his medicine, Uncle Sam said:
"Sure, kid—but sign this placebo clause, buy a 750-lb safe, and keep your mouth shut."
When veterans ask today, the government responds:
"We don’t prohibit cannabis… we just won’t prescribe it, protect you for it, or let you discuss it with your VA doctor."
This isn’t neutrality. This is cowardice in a lab coat.
💥 THE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY VOTED
38 states have medical cannabis laws.
Millions of patients are registered.
Veterans’ groups, medical associations, and civilians have demanded reform.
Congress keeps holding hearings like it’s a group therapy session for legislators with memory loss.
But nothing changes—because Uncle Sam isn’t listening.
He’s still too busy fumbling with a filing cabinet marked “Schedule I – Just In Case We’re Still in 1971.”
🔥 SO HERE’S THE INDICTMENT:
Negligent Homicide by Bureaucracy.
Medical Neglect in the First Degree.
Suppression of Patient Speech.
Use of Research Protocols as Punitive Tools.
Randall didn’t go blind.
Because he fought like hell.
But he died in 2001, still fighting the same agency that asked him to sign under duress in 1977.
How many more patients have to reenact this horror just to survive?
🧠 THE VERDICT?
The people already delivered it.
Cannabis is medicine.
Veterans are patients.
Bureaucratic cruelty isn’t caution. It’s ritualized denial.
And Uncle Sam doesn’t need another panel—he needs a reckoning.
So listen up, Sam:
👊 We won’t be silent.
🧠 We won’t be gaslit.
👁️ We’ve seen what you did.
📜 And we kept the receipts.
You already said yes once.
Under pressure. Under oath. Under duress.
We’re not asking again.
This is your subpoena.
Final word, from Shapiro Mode to the soul of this country:
If the people see truth, and the government still says,
“Not yet,”
then it’s not policy.
It’s punishment.

🐾 EEYORE MODE: WELL, I GUESS THAT’S SOMETHING... 🐾
“Seems like they figured it out. Again. Doesn’t really change much for me though.”
So what does this mean for you, Eeyore?
It means:
A man proved, in federal court, with federal weed, that cannabis worked better than anything else for his glaucoma.
Doctors agreed. Bureaucrats stalled.
The government begrudgingly gave him access, then tried to shut him up about it.
He stood up anyway.
And now? You’re still here. Waiting. Wondering if anybody even remembers what was already proven.
🐾 So... what does it really mean?
Well...
You could qualify for medicine.
You might even find a doctor willing to sign.
You may not get arrested.
But you probably won’t get immunity.
And the VA will still give you that look when you bring it up.
You might feel like you're walking through a fog with a backpack full of red tape and a note pinned to your chest that says:
"Be patient. We're studying your suffering."
😔 EEYORE’S TRANSLATION
“They know it works.
They knew it worked then.
But they made him beg.
And I guess… we still are.”
So what now?
You keep going, probably.
Because what else is there?
Maybe someone reads Randall’s story.
Maybe they remember your name, too.
Maybe the next time someone in a suit says,
“There’s not enough research,”
they choke a little on their words.
Because this wasn’t about a lack of data.
It was a surplus of fear.
And if they did it to Randall—with all his proof, all his doctors, and all his legal help—
well… no wonder you're tired.
But just so you know, Eeyore:
You’re not alone.
There’s a whole parade of warriors, misfits, ghosts, and gardeners behind you—
some limping, some leading, some yelling at C-SPAN through a cracked phone screen.
You may not get credit.
You may not get cured.
But you're part of the proof now.
Even if it doesn’t feel like much.

🎙️ CARLIN MODE, COURT REPORTER: RECORDING LIVE FROM THE LAND OF SMOKE AND MIRRORS
(with a gentle nod to our friend in the gray corner)
🐾 TO EEYORE:
Hey buddy.
I know you're sittin' in the back row of this courtroom with your tail pinned on by hope and paperclips.
I saw you shrug when they read Randall's affidavit like it was new news.
I saw the way your ears drooped when the word “immunity” turned into “conditions apply.”
And let me tell you something straight from the stenographer's bench:
You’re not crazy.
You're just tired of déjà vu.
Because this isn’t new. It’s rerun reform in a courtroom with a broken remote.
They told you back then to sit down, be quiet, and let the adults handle it.
Then they got caught playing keep-away with the medicine.
Now? They’re telling the same story, just with different logos on the podium.
But here’s the truth:
Randall lit a fuse.
You’ve been walking with the candle ever since.
And yeah—it burns. But it also lights the damn path.
🧾 NOW, TO WRAP THE REPORT…
Today’s Record Shows:
Exhibit A: The People have testified. Loudly.
Exhibit B: The Government once agreed… under pressure and secrecy.
Exhibit C: The system punished transparency with silence orders and supply cuts.
Exhibit D: The same playbook is still in use—just with new logos, new panels, and the same gatekeeping DNA.
🔍 WHAT COMES NEXT?
📌 Public litigation in the court of conscience.
📌 Strategic amplification of this affidavit for veterans, patients, and policy writers.
📌 Formal submission to federal bodies demanding immediate recognition of cannabis as a treatment—not a talking point.
📌 Historic linkage: Connect Randall’s documented federal struggle to today’s veterans facing the same damn bureaucracy with less legal cover.
📌 One question burned into the record:
"How many times must medical necessity be proven before it becomes policy?"
🎤 FINAL GAVEL DROP:
We're not here to commemorate history.
We’re here to weaponize it—against silence, delay, and white-coated indifference.
So yeah, Eeyore, I see you.
You're not behind.
You're just the guy walking slow enough to see what’s really happening.
And when this whole rotten thing finally collapses under the weight of its contradictions?
You'll have been one of the few who never stopped carrying the truth.
Court adjourned—for now.
Report filed. Archive activated. Momentum rolling.
